Trump does not control the aid applicants it’s the FSA offices. These offices are so strict but evidently connections help.

Lnonblonde Grifters and socialism!

Billionaires keep grifting and giving the middle finger to the rest of us.

economic anxiety

Trump can relate he received 911 grants for his properties for loss of business

Ah, trumped up, trickle up economics. Fill the swamp.

Check all government officials, and I'll bet you he's not the only one!

Another republican politician abusing the system.

Thank you for your service Jim! A true patriot! MAGA

It makes sense that corporate farms are among the first to the trough. Money, money, money.

Oh look...another lazy farmer who’d rather get a handout than work. He also get his free cellphone? Let’s put his face on tne poster of America’s new Welfare Queens - our Farmers.

“Yeah but billionaires earned it” - baby boomers

Wow 😮 what a fraud

CorporateWelfare

Nice. 🙄

This is despicable, smaller family farms are dying.

Did the Gov. of Virginia Ralph Northam resign yet? He is regarded as a racist!

WelfareKing

Jim Justice has a definite Scrooge McDuck vibe

Tax payer dollars going to the 1% who would have thought!

JeffMccowen

And I’m sure he has no plans to pay the government back for the subsidy.

Sounds swampy...

Time to VOTE HIM OUT and vote Stephen Smith in! wvcantwait Please check him out and donate if you can. WVCantWait

So much winning?

Rats. Gas every single one of these vermin.

Justice is and always has been a crook. History shows that the idiots in this state will always elect the richest person running. They actually believed Justice was a democrat when he ran.😂

So does Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi and Ted Turner just to name a few and have for years. Left & Right they cry about the poor with one hand while stealing with the other!

This isnt news to me. It's just another Thursday in trump world.

Check out how much he owes in taxes while you’re at it.

I don't see trump's white supremacist follower complain that welfare to the farmers, rich farmers is a drain on our system?

Politicians are the WORST MOST GREEDY PEOPLE ALIVE!! GOP DNC 🤷🏻‍♀️

it's really hilarious that he switched parties in 2015, ran and became a Gov while claiming to be a Democrat, then jumped back over that fence. Democrats didn't mind his bullshit when they voted for him in 2016. PICK A LANE people.

Genios.

I can't tell if this is the good socialism or the bad socialism. The GOP claim its all bad then they take it. I just can't!

Called it. Only the corporate fame era are going to get any aid from this administration. The little guy gets shafted and will still vote GOP cause “socialism is bad”.

& how much did Grassley get?

We need to do something about this rampant corruption. It's time for the People to use our rights to end it.

Corporate socialism

socialism for the rich!

Take from the poor, give to the rich.... The Trump era policy

Family what now

Hey larry_kudlow isn’t this socialism Cc SquawkCNBC jimcramer

Great again?

He probably didn’t know or even noticed....

Draining the swamp....ok Shrek.

Wait wait wait.. I thought Socialism was bad. It seems billionaires are fond of taking people's money under false pretenses...

naturally

....and the filthy rich keeps getting filthiest and richer...SMHOTS!!!!

Why the fuck is a billionaire getting a subsidy?

Nothing like the 'socialism' of corporate welfare to take care of one's friends during times of need. Wonder if he even pays that much in taxes on his billions. He probably justifies this as a tax refund.

Now find some small farmer who got money from Trump's bailouts due to his idiotic tariff war. You'd be hard pressed to find many. Most of that money went to corporate agriculture.

SOCIALISM FOR BILLIONAIRES!!!!!

How absurd

Hypocrites like Gov. Justice and RepHartzler don't like welfare payments unless they're the beneficiaries. Hartzler criticized the auto bailouts, yet the auto companies REPAID the money. Will Mrs. Hartzler repay the funds?

well thats weird...

Well of course he did. And likely every senator that's a 'farmer' did too. Remember even Trump keeps some animals at T National golf course so he can call it a farm and not pay taxes. He's probably getting $ (or rubles) from this too. GrifterInChief

I hope they drug test these welfare queens.

MAGA 🙄

JimJusticeWV potus this is not what that money was meant for!

Mmmmm....socialism.

BradKutner I wonder how much farmer DevinNunes received? Cc DevinCow

Socialism on the left. Socialism on the right.

570Karen RepHartzler also loves dipping her hand in the socialism trough when it helps her family's farming businesses too.

NFUtweets

GOP Socialism

It’s hard being an Appalachian grifter

so this is draining the swamp?

RepHartzler received a staggering $108,000 in farmer bailout funds in 2018.

Was it illegal? FakeNewsMedia

Well they do farm soooooooo what’s your problem!! Oh I forgot he’s a republican

Unbelievable!! Bloodsucking leech

The rich stay rich.

Every little bit helps.

The Trump Presidency will go down in the history books as the greatest upward distribution of wealth in US history.
