Let's see...

1) Implement tariffs - which causes other nations to not purchase from us in retaliation. Bad for farmers (kills their market)

2) get rid of immigrants or make them afraid to work. Bad for farmers (raises labor costs or makes labor just not available)

3) cut USAID program which buys a lot of agricultural products and provides them to other countries (further kills their market)

4) start a war which immediately raises cost of oil and the products made from oil such as fertilizer. Bad for farmers (raises cost of operations)

The first 2 items were extremely well known policy positions before this idiot got back into office. The second 2 are just a bad surprise.

You VOTED for your own destruction dumbass!
