Excess rainfall has fueled disease and pest pressure in Ohio’s soybean fields as a trade war with China puts farmers’ biggest export market in doubt
Farmers and rural Americans are keen to highlight that their political and voting preferences are rarely fueled by a single issue or event such as tariffs. Many continue to back Trump, despite the obvious financial challenges the president’s policies are fomenting.
Trump has been largely silent on addressing the pain his tariffs have caused farmers and ranchers, despite rural voters being a cornerstone of his political base. On 10 August, he posted to Truth Social a demand that China quadruple its purchases of American soybeans. The president claimed that China was “worried” about having a soybean shortage, although China has vowed to increase its domestic soybean production yield by 38% by 2034.
What’s more, some market analysts say that Trump’s post didn’t make the rounds on Chinese social media, suggesting his demand may not have been heard by the country’s political leaders.
Many continue to back Trump
They will continue backing Trump well past the foreclosure of the family farm. Because Trump told them they were special, where the evil Democrats said everyone is important.
They would die for him. It’s a cult.
“It’s the liberals who are taking your farms!!! And the lazy criminal immigrants living off welfare who are simultaneously stealing our jobs! If it weren’t for them, we would be living in a white utopia!”
Even after they lose their farms to the corporations they will still support Orange Mussolini.
“Basket of deplorables”
Demanding other countries increase their purchases of your products is something you definitely do when you’re winning and things are going great
Meanwhile the global supply chains have changed and continue to change, and many of those customers are never returning, even if the tariffs go away. An amazing own goal, America.
Demanding someone buy your product more sounds like a pushy carnival barker, not a president.
Has real Elon-suing-Xitter-advertisers energy.

It’s the Democrat weather machine at work again.
Yeah, but thank dawg they won’t have to put up with “woke” things.
Taco Camacho will be dictating that movies, TV and education all conform to be suitable to white wing tastes.
If you see a farmer today give em a squeeze
I ain’t grabbing my neighbor’s ass. They’re technically a rancher.
Big hat, no cattle.
Ranchers prefer mustache rides.
