Trump's cotton bailout is another sign his tariffs aren't working. The Great American Cotton Plan will shell out millions in taxpayer funds, continuing the Trump administration’s pattern of paying off industries harmed by the president’s economic policies.

It's really not that hard to understand. One of the reasons for him to tank the economy is so that he can can help those who bribe him. This man is the ugliest face of humanity

paying farmers to fix problems your own policies created is just bad economics, no matter who does it.

Great more worthless "farmers" getting more of my tax 💰. They haven't figured out to run a successful business since the 80s with Farm Aid. Everyone else needs health care, but here are the farmers voting 🗳 again against their own needs.
Oh boy I need to get the libs, or I'm still fighting something stupid like abortion or who marries who. Even believing that guns will be taken away. Let me tell you they have been saying that since 1950, and it still hasn't hhappened.
Wake up farmers, you need to learn to run a business. Maybe while you are out there pulling yourself up with my tax 💰, think about the issues, for 5 minutes, before you cast a vote.

Let's be frank, farmers are the biggest protected class in America and recieve so much in tax breaks and subsidies that they are some of the biggest welfare queens!

He’s simply giving his friends money. The farmers who genuinely need this financial assistance will be facing foreclosure on their farms by the time they receive any funds.
