Tariffs threaten to upend markets American farmers depend on
Summary
New tariffs under Trump threaten U.S. farmers who rely heavily on exports, with leaders warning of rising input costs and potential market losses. Over 20% of U.S. farm income depends on exports, according to farm groups.
Tariffs on countries like Vietnam (46%) and the Philippines (17%) could spark retaliatory actions, cutting demand for U.S. crops.
Farmers, already facing high equipment and fertilizer costs, fear long-term damage to trade relationships.
Some hope Trump will use tariffs to expand markets, but others remain skeptical, recalling mixed outcomes from past trade wars.

“Trump’s a negotiator,” Hartman said.
I don’t even know the rules of poker, but I would definitely play poker with this dipshit.
“Some hope Trump will use tariffs to expand markets” somebody want to try and explain that one? LOL
People somehow still think Trump is an expert businessman who actually has a plan. If you assume that, it becomes plausible that this is a negotiating ploy, talking tough to get concessions out of other countries.
When you don’t know how anything works, anything seems possible.
Trump’s tarrifs are lowering your tax bill
…by reducing your income.
Except, as I’m sure you know, when Mr Cheetos Face says “lower your taxes”, he’s specifically talking to billionaires. And only the billionaires. Same as any other god forsaken Republican. The number of times in my life I’ve heard that bullshit line, then watched them raise my fucking taxes… I’m gonna stop there cause I’m already feeling like doing something violent, and I got shit to do today.
