Trump Administration Rolls Out $16 Billion Farm-Aid Program

WASHINGTON—The Trump administration rolled out a $16 billion aid package for the U.S. farm sector, which primarily will take the form of direct payments to farmers to offset losses resulting from the trade conflict with China.

The administration moved to shore up American agriculture Thursday after a breakdown in talks earlier this month between Washington and Beijing. Amid expectations that American farmers will be hindered selling crops to China’s 1.4 billion-person market, commodity prices sank to their lowest level in...

Picking winners and loser's? Republicans are liars and hypocrites

So much winning.

When a country that prides itself as being capitalist starts to use direct/indirect subsidies ... Not a good sign.

Corruption will be rife.

Here we have the Brazilian brothers standing behind Trump waiting to receive their checks

Sounds a bit Socialist to me 🤔

He caused the problem, all he does is spend the taxpayers money

Are farmers the new welfare queens? FarmBureau NationalFFA NationalGrange NFUDC USDA SecretarySonny GOP POTUS realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse VP PressSec

There are 16 billion subsidies this year, but the market has been destroyed, so what about next year? What about the future? Can you guarantee that there will be subsidies every year?

Don't forget China is paying for this too.

Farm aid is socialism

haha yeah Republicans are for ‘small government and free markets’ lmao. hypocrites

SocialistTrump

Stable genius wins again

It is not a trade conflict, if it is caused by a little boy’s temper tantrum for not getting what he wants.

Farmers already pay almost zero income taxes, They buy more land and tractors with profits. Then we all foot the bill 4 their mismanagement of funds.

Trump put American farmers on welfare. I'm sure the opinion page will tell us it's a brilliant move by the best potus ever.

YES ! THEY BEEN RIPPED OFF LONG ENOUGH! OBLAHMA WANTED TO SHUT THEM DOWN,PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS! STOP CORRUPT DEMOCRATS STOP CORRUPT SOCIALIST! KAG MAGA2020 WALKAWAY VOTEDEMOUT

Another tax for the American people.

Evil communism, by trump

Won't work, need movement of commities. Sitting in a bin somewhere effects all

Socialism and handouts begin

Farmers still need the market - the order. Subsidies Loss.

foxnewspolitics foxandfriends i am pretty sure this is the definition of socialism vote newpresident2020

So it looks like the subsidizes same as they accused China of?

Trump mopping up his piss while continuing to pee on the floor

Us farmers love handouts. It's the republican way.

Got to keep those farmers on side!

Good

Now, Trump puts the farmers in welfare? Farmers don’t need to be in welfare; the Baby Boy, should end the Trade War. Chinese people aren’t going to pay for tariffs. It’s all on us; we’re paying for it, not China. Wake up America!

A tax on America

realDonaldTrump when are you going to reimburse the rest of us for your idiotic and insane trade policies. Boy, isn’t winning great.

Republican socialism at its finest.

gschildk

AND WHERE THE HELL IS THAT MONEY COMING FROM?

Idiotic. Borrowing $$ from China (Largest Owner Of US Debt) to pay farmers because of a trade war with China. Only a guy with a very large brain could come up with this. DerangedDonald

So American have to give their hard earned money in welfare to farmers because of Trumps weak negotiation skills and bad policy. Do I have that right?

State controlled farms ... socialism

So Trump just announced some good old socialism to offset the losses he is causing 😏😂 FakePresident who claims TradeWars are easy 😜😜

GOP welfare for big donors.

Where are the funds for Trump’s billion dollar bailout coming from?

And what is to be done for the broader agricultural industry?

SOP for GOP SlashandSPEND. Oh, and we don't believe in welfare!* (*Welfare is only bad to individuals, corporate welfare fully supported)

So POTUS et al slap the tariffs on which results in a reaction from China which in turn slaps tariffs on US goods. Farmers are screwed, complain and we the taxpayers pay them off .Tariffs are a tax and bailouts are an add on. Tks POTUS Navarro, Kudlow

barricko_bama How is this being paid? Asking for all US taxpayers.

Socialism?

America will not be a socialist counrty

What’s his vig?

insane. full government subsidization of farm industry, socialism (and self induced)

It’s called Socialism!! realDonaldTrump is an Idiot!

Seems like President Trump borrowed a leaf out of PM Modi's book of direct benefit transfer to farmers in India.

I should start growing marijuana so I can get a piece of that taxpayer money 💰

Cool cool, so I'm subsidizing farmers even more now? Awesome.

Cool Central Planning we’ve got going. I’m sure the opinion will be up in arms about it

This is also known by its scientific name, Socialism. Trump is a socialist president whose economic policies are so crappy that he has to give socialist handouts to farmers to essentially buy their votes.

So much for free markets. Right republicans?

Any help for people who can’t afford their Insulin4all

Welfare for farmers, cool

Boom 💥

Trump é o cara.

Funny how taxes used for farmers are ‘subsidies’, for corporations it's ‘incentives’, for banks and auto companies it's 'bailouts'. But for Americans, it’s ‘socialism’.

So much for being anti-socialist...eh trump? realDonaldTrump this guy is using the Soviet model.

China (Mexico) will pay for it.

Socialism

Ummm...isn’t this...right out of the socialism playbook?

That won’t help farmers that will be pushed out of farming forever.

Poor people are paying for 45's f-ups! Wake up! Everything he does will be paid for by your local working-poor families. ImpeachTrump TrumpMustResign WakeUp

There are issues with China trade. To address, Trump could have coordinated with the EU, Japan & Canada to exert global pressure on China. But Trump wanted to look like the All-Powerful Oz

Oh so now he's actually admitting the tariffs are hurting the American farmers lol

As Trump escalates China trade dispute, economic ties lose stabilizing force in matters of national securityTensions could extend beyond the trade sphere and impact other areas of contention between Washington and Beijing. Very true. It is not about no tariffs but to be strategic and timely. Trump is off these two principles by miles. Good faith was given to China reform and the hope is fading. Appearances point to continued escalation. We may in fact see a currency manipulator designation by USTreasury as soon as China's eventually counter-acts with currency policy. ooo.. itu tho akibatnya

Trump and 2020 Democrats Stake Out Dueling Views on China TradePresident Trump has worked to sell voters on the idea that he can negotiate better trade pacts, and that only he is tough enough to walk away from a bad deal. As talks with China hit an impasse, Democrats say the administration’s performance shows he is the wrong person for the job. ⚠️ So Chinese could boot Apple out of China in retaliation for Huawei & Trump's ridiculous tariffs. This would crush the US StockMarket. Plunging the Trump Administration into mass chaos. Then, the Chinese could stop buying US debt for a few months. No MAGA after that.. 😎 He's a Republican & Fighting Socialism! He's Perfect! Unfortunately he is the wrong person for president
