The Trump administration is set to unveil a long-awaited farm aid package on Monday, according to a White House official, offering $12 billion in assistance to a key base of support that largely voted for the president and were hit hard by low crop prices and the impact of the president’s tariff tantrums. Some farmers have experienced buyer’s remorse as the administration’s policies created financial pressures. So now, Trump is going to throw some Socialist dollars at the farmers who are struggling financially due to the president’s policies.
Trump creates a problem. Puts a temporary fix on the problem he created, then takes credit. I feel like we’ve seen this happen before. And we are paying for this. All of us. This wouldn’t be necessary if Americans weren’t caught in the crossfire of Trump’s tariffs in the first place.
Bloomberg reports:
The aid will include up to $11 billion in one-time payments to crop farmers under the Department of Agriculture’s newly designed Farmer Bridge Assistance program, while the remaining is reserved for crops not covered under the FBA, according to the official, who asked not to be identified as the information isn’t public.
