Politics bail out donald trump farmers
Donald Trump bragging about his farmer bailout turned into an embarrassing self-own before he even finished his sentence
When you create a horrible problem and then devise an inefficient and expensive solution to that same problem you created, you’re not allowed to brag about it. Unless you’re the President of the United States. Then you host a press conference about the whole ordeal to pat yourself on the back.
Donald Trump met with the press to announce he had saved the farmers. The very same farmers he dug into a hole by introducing constraining tariffs. He even outlined exactly what happened without apparently realizing how bad it made him look.

Satire is dead when you have a President so willing to say the quiet part out loud. Twitter was shouting along with him.

That is absolutely true. Without the tariffs our farmers would be having a great year. As it stands now they are the world’s biggest welfare recipients. that’s what tariffs have wrought.

Tariffs are a regressive (burden-shifting) TAX on consumers. The tariffs are the reason that farmers require a bailout in the first place. Donald has only one real interest: Donald.

The expensive operation to fix the stab wound wouldn’t be possible if he hadn’t stabbed us.

For once I agree with Trump! His dumba** tariffs are solely responsible for farmers needing to be bailed out
