#Farmers will get more money from #Trump.
When Trump promised new #tariffs while running for office, Gene Stehly worried that #trade disputes would jeopardize his international #sales of #corn, #soybeans & #wheat.
A little more than a year later, Stehly said his fears have become a reality, & Trump’s latest promise of #FederalAssistance is insufficient to cover #US farmers’ losses.

American farmers are feeling the strain from trade disputes under President Donald Trump, particularly with China. Trump has announced $12 billion in aid for U.S. farmers, but many farmers say that's not enough. South Dakota farmer Gene Stehly believes the aid is insufficient to cover losses from low commodity prices and declining sales. Farmers such as Charlie Radman in Minnesota and Bryant Kagay in Missouri say they need more certainty and new markets, not just temporary payments. The aid is seen as a stopgap. Many farmers want solutions to rising costs and market access beyond China.
"As of 5 pm ET today, Trump will halt tens of billions of dollars in federal spending. ...
This is not a conservative ploy to shrink the size of government. It’s a neo-fascist ploy to concentrate even more power in Trump’s hands."

"A good swath of the American public may soon experience first-hand what it’s like to have all federal money for services, grants and assistance dry up overnight. Perhaps that will finally alert many to the true danger and cost of handing over the reins of government to radicals who want to remake our society entirely."

The implication is clear. Under a #TrumpPresidency, states and regions that voted for him get #disasterRelief, and public funds while states and regions that vote #Democrat can pound sand. This is a horrific circumstance that links #federalAssistance with #partisanship. This man simply cannot be #president.
