Farmers Rips Trump Trade: We Lost Everything Since He Took Over | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
Trump is destroying American farmers simply because he wanted to prove to the world that he knows more about everything than anyone. A number of American farmers will never recover from the damage he’s done. The damage he has done already will be generational. Family Farms that have been operating since the 50s and 60s have lost their markets because Trump said that trade wars were easy to win, even though he’s 1. never been in a trade war, and 2. he’s never won a trade war.
Good. They haven’t lost enough for their stupidity. I can suggest a rope for instance.
David J —agree, this is karma! The farmers paid for their willful IGNORANCE and RACISM with their livelihood and the pain will be felt for generations to come.
Trump has never won anything. Not even the election. He doesn’t care about anyone.
They were warned, vehemently, repeatedly, they didn’t listen
@Si Señor I wouldn’t bet on that, I say the country will not survive, less than 6 years .
@SanJose I say none of them, all Americans will be homeless.
@ღSwnsasyღ _ But the wealthy in which Trump caters to, still owns the media, they can make things seem as if they aren’t” to get him re-elected for their greedy pockets and the dumb sheeps will follow the lies of the “corporate media” to put this economic killer of the poor, right back in office !!
@ღSwnsasyღ _ I will look it up and if that be so, (chicken face) Purdue products will forever be off my table and out of my dwellings !!
They have been voting against their own interests all their lives. They will never learn, not even if they lose their farms.
LOL! The rubes have just woken up!
you loser!!!
Beto Ortiz
Nice metaphor! 😂
Isn’t this the same farmers who voted for Spanky? They believed that the guy who declared bankruptcy six times and ran countless businesses into the ground was a good businessman… hahahahaha… there’s a sucker born every minute.
@Heraldo Medrano Lol!
First feel sorry for these farmer but they should have known the consequences if they’re voted for him
@Heraldo Medrano you’ve just solved everyone’s problems
@Rueben Aragon what do you think of growing heroin and cocaine.
I agree what goes around comes around
Of course Trump doesn’t get farming.
He has never worked on a field for even an hour in his entire life.
He never worked an honest jobe for even an hour in his entire life.
@Joanne McMillan It is really strange. Some lies are so obvious. But yeah, sure, fake news, alternative facts… is it really just 3 years? It feels like thousands.
@trisha hardy actually he inherited over $400 million from his father, and doesn’t include the money that his father bailed him out with when Dotard couldn’t afford to repay the US banks
Or EATEN anything grown in a field!!!!!!!!!!!!
So hard to have any sympathy for these people. They were at the front to elect him.
@Alex .Wallace He lied, he don’t want everyone to know he was one of those stupid enough to believe Trump lol. (dot). (dot). (dot).
SOME FARMERS WERE AT THE FRONT!! NOT ALL!!!
@burningfeet 57 we’ll go with MOST!!
I wonder how these Farmers would feel if Trump wanted to build a giant wall between their land. Would they give up their land so freely like they’re telling people in Texas ?
Brian Priaulx And he’ll be re-elected .
They weren’t bothered by his racism or the fact he was a serial sexual predator. It wasn’t until Trump started costing them money that they got upset with him. You wanted him, you got him. My sympathy meter registers nothing.
Sad but TRUE.
Haha 😆
Yeah, farmers pretty much go by the standard repub ‘philosophy’…. they pizz n’ moan against anything until THEY need help.
AmeriKKKans Are Super Extra Evil, Crazy, and Stupid.. They got what they deserved
Not all of us are, just the Trumpanzees. The ones who voted for the Orange waste Buffoonish.
Sonia, please dont give the 2016 bernieorBusters a pass, because they have proven to be more stupid than a Trump voter.
Americans don’t seem to realize that more than half of their white population is still supporting this guy. Why?? Why would they support him when he has been so bad at literally EVERYTHING? Oooh, the one thing he has been good at is standing up for WHITE NATIONALISTS. HE’S DONE A SUPERB JOB AT THAT, ALRIGHT!
@Captain Prototype Yang is the only way
@Haha MissMiss Actually.. not even that he can stand up for anymore.. I sorta feel sorry for them because I know there exists good white people.. they are just more of a rarity these days..
Well these farmers were anti immigrant (ie hated their cheap workers), anti china (hated their main customer). They voted for a man who said he would attack both. They got exactly what they wanted. What did they expect to happen?
When an evil heart speaks, all rational thoughts flees away, so they did not think anything, until the chickens come home to roost !!
@Julio c rugerio-hernandez Even if they’re not tired of “winning”👎🏿 I’m tired of their whining😩 they need to take it as they asked for it 💩
@Jason Esquibel No, the right thing to do is dredge up fascist propaganda from hitler, use the same scapegoating and lying and fear mongering about immigrants as hitler used on the jews. Blame them for ruining the country, stealing the country. Blame them for everything, and ignore what trump and the oligarchs do, just focus on what they say. Also dont listen to opposing views, call them fake news or lugenprezza or whatever. Dont believe your lying eyes either, have faith that trump and his cabinet of top money donors are here to return the country to the forgotten little man. Dont think about them having stolen your democracy, imagine them as your savior. Also never learn the truth about the rnc or their puppets like reagan who created the immigration “crisis” with death squads and coups he used to undermine stable governments in south america. And dont think about how the rnc through bush created the migration crisis out of the middle east due to their wars based on nothing but lies and propaganda. Dont blame the RNC who causes your problems, blame the victims.
@Jason Esquibel let’s make it clear so even a dummy like you can understand, he’s metaphorically stating, that you don’t cut off your nose to spite your face and then and then cry about it, look before you leap …… You got it !!
@Matthew Gaines You have put that very nicely, Trump and his Looney cult followers are Beyond “stupid” I personally loathe their presents !!
Why this crying? Dear farmers,
you all can always go to those Chicken plants. I’m pretty sure you will get a job there Viva la MAGA!
loyalty to a con man….you deserve to do bankrupt. trumpidiot
You didn’t listen either. This farmer did NOT vote for Trump/
trumpanzee
Trump – we don’t need farmers, we can just go to McDonald’s or KFC.
That’s so true !!! I have Republican friends that don’t understand why I still grow and put up my own food ! They think no matter what they can always go to Walmart to get there meat and veggies.
Even though I just grow an acre of vegetables it’s still very very hard to grow anything with this climate change. We have raised our beds up from so much rain and now we’re building Sun screens to protect tomatoes from the blazing hot sun. Farming is not like it used to be.
Don’t vote for an orange devil and then whine when he burns you. Hope trumpers learned their lesson.
BUT THERE ARE SOME WHO WILL.VOTE FOR HIM AGAIN!!! UNBELIEVEABLE!!!
Trump said he likes farmers and you all aren’t mad, it china’s fault laughing, Keep on winning. Trump is a liar what more do you need to see and hear ?
They want Trump to personally come to them and look them in their eyes and tell them, that he cares nothing for them, they are all waiting to hear what he has to say about himself to them directly, until then they will just go on believing in the wind !!
Rochelle Pratt
People look they don’t see. Listen and they don’t hear . Trump was and is a poor excuse of a human .Why anyone could not see his two bit ,carney barker incestuous fraud of a persona I can not imagine.
HA, HA, HA, you deserve every thing, vote Don The Con Bone Spurs again in 2020 so you will be bankrupt.
You all wouldn’t listen, but you had to elect the con artist named Trump!
The Orange Dotard knows more about farming than all of the farmers!
*Definition of insanity = Farmers continuing to vote for Trump*
Because Bigotry trumps common sense…
Amend that to ANYONE voting for tRump is insane.
Well if that’s the case no pitty for them
Bye bye family FARMS
Because the all hate mexicans
They still think of voting for him. They are ok with his hate, his mocking, inkompetence, his climate change denial and his sexual assaults – but if they loose some money …
Don’t worry, Farmers. Trump will get you a new clean-coal job.
