Hahaha…your own article states NAFTA cannot be renegotiated without Canada, and they left the talks earlier this year.

Call your “buddies back east” and tell us Old MacDonald.
And the purpose of getting the issues between Mexico and the US worked out is to prevent the new Mexican President from coming in and having to start the discussions all over again. And for that to happen, the US would have to send the new NAFTA agreement to Congress by…tomorrow…to even work.

I live right in the middle of a massive farming community in SW Missouri. And there is no question that Trump’s trade war and tariffs are doing substantial damage to farmers. We have substantial layoffs all over here. Several farm have shut down with more looking at shuttering as well. Even the Trump administration acknowledges that their tariffs are having a negative impact on farmers, hence the $12,000,000,000 wealth redistribution scheme to try and save their votes. Anyone claiming that these tariffs are not doing massive harm to farmers across the Heartland are either not here for themselves, and/or are too ignorant to look at ALL of the data and see for themselves the damage being done.
Can you be specific as to which farms are shutting down? I’m skeptical of the timing and would like more information.
If they are rushing to get it done, then it’s probably also a bad deal.

Now trumpflakes are denying that trump is using socialism to bail out farmers because of his tariffs in the amount of $12 billion…
Bailout? What bailout?
No doubt about it. We have seen with our own eyes how things go when this administration rushes to do anything.

Judging by the size of silos, the length of the barn this farmer has about 60 heads.
The country forced him to build manure pit/storage system.
Cost 1600 a month.
Let say he has herd average of 22 thousand, that about 65 pounds per day per cow.
Gallon of milk is about 8.6 pound plus or minus depending on breed.
That about 7.5 gallon of milk per cow per day…plus or minus.
Now do the math.
That 1600 dollars per month is lot of money for a farmer that doesn’t have the production.

The farmer that they used as example was forced to build a manure pit/filtering system…monthly payment 1600 per month.

It isn’t the tariffs that’s hurting the farmer…it’s damn regulations that’s distroying your family farms and YOU libs know it.
But you don’t give a ■■■■ do you?
Trying to score some cheap propaganda victory at their expense.
Environmental wackos shot him in the heart. But libs blame Trump. ■■■■■■■ liars.

Do us all a favor and talk with the actual farmers before trying to tell us how amazing they’re doing under Trump.

Actually that article said he has 40 heads.
No wonder. Making 1600 monthly payment for manure system wasn’t sustainable IMO.
