Sen. Cotton tells farmers trade war will hurt, but real war is worse

Defending President Trump’s ongoing trade war with China in the face of impending economic hardship for American farmers, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., downplayed those concerns as “minimal” compared with the sacrifices made by U.S. troops killed while fighting overseas.

"There will be some sacrifice on the part of Americans, I grant you that. But also that sacrifice is pretty minimal compared to the sacrifices that our soldiers make overseas that are fallen heroes or laid to rest," @SenTomCotton on trade war with China pic.twitter.com/lqlEZtaeBs A Bronze Star recipient, Cotton served in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan and Iraq, and now sits on the Armed Services Committee. He has been a staunch Trump defender.

I bet he doesn't sacrifice.

Very sad to hear a u.s. senator even compare the two ! cotton's another Koch brother's boy in D.C. !

Who actually collects these government' tariffs? We the people (both sides of water) pay extra for those products. So, realDonaldTrump Where are the Aduits, so we can tell how much the bankrupt USA Inc. is stealing daily.

what about having an idiot for a senator?

Politician should not sacrifice anyone in peace time unless they start a war like Hilter and start brain washing the people into any war.

Farmers is not servicing in the military they are feeding the American people, hard working people they are the back bone in this country.

He can eat my dick. Just wait till it starts affecting his own pockets.

farmers just got drafted
