New Ethanol Rules Are Testing Farmers' Support Of President Donald Trump | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
Farmers you got what you wanted.
Senator Grassley should support impeachment of T-Rump to remove him from office … if not then hes just talking empty words .
Republicans are now having a war against ethanol , same time when they have war against coal miners … funny senator Grassley is republican , go figure .
when it all works out, i’m sure you guys will return and tell us about it.
@felix u – *Works out? You stupid or what? You sound like a dimwit!*
.
If you’re a farmer and still support Trump.. you deserve your losses.
Sean Dring ….and Canada, and Brazil, and Mexico……the list grows!! Soya will be dead to American farmers for a generation! Talk about voting against your own best interests hahahahaha!
@Graham Campbell good roundup ready soybeans and corn pollutes our water and causes cancer so good riddens to it
@Dave Schultz Unlike you, most farmers aren’t looking for handouts — they’re looking for markets to sell what they produce. And those handouts? They do nothing to address the huge losses in equity that farmers are suffering — the value of their farms drops daily while tRump’s tariff idiocy continues. It takes a special kind of stupid to think that a handout covering part of sales losses does anything to address loss of their actual businesses…homes…equipment…dignity. Work on your trolling – it’s getting seriously pathetic.
Farmers are tired of winning.
Funny, you right
😂
They still support him. They aren’t very bright, and haven’t considered the fact that it’ll take a good decade or more before they get back to where they were pre-Trump, and that sweet Trump welfare will be gone real soon.
More Socialist Welfare Farmer payouts to allow for Trump Corruption. Those waivers put $ in the fat cats wallets and Trump get’s his cut. How much campaign $$ did he rake in ?
Several forests’ worth of rake ins?
Dan Seven it’s all true and so sickening sad to know this is reality’s full force. Sometimes I think the good of this world is being ploughed under. If he gets in again, everything is lost, and that goes for the rest of the world. Putin is in Africa as we speak, China is warring up their might, and the weak leadership of the world are following suit to Trump’s likeness, such as Brazil. The bad guys are winning while the good men stand back to let it happen. We should be on the streets begging for the # 25 to be applied.
Trump is only a friend to his own wallet. He cares nothing about anyone else, or anything else!
I don’t know. He seems pretty sincere with the racism.
@Mister Hat: I got nothin… you score that one! :o)
Anyone who thinks that trump cares about them is sadly mistaken.
He cares about Ivanka, he would marry her if thought he wouldn’t go to jail.
You’re right farmers are his big support group, bend over, Hold On Tight, just like everybody else, now it’s your turn
Ethanol evaporates too quickly and is too thin to be an effective lube, so yep, it’s gonna burn.
Stop growing corn for ethanol and grow Food for People we’re not going to need the ethanol anyway
Farmers who voted trump don’t comprehend, “You reap what you sow.”
Ethanol Is a scam and corporate welfare
@Troy Stocker what ? I sincerely do not understand what you just wrote.
@Doreen Achtymichuk have you ever researched ethanol, or do you believe the talking points
@Troy Stocker sorry to burst your ” intellectual bubble “, but everyone knows what ethanol IS, I just did not, do not, know what you are trying to say !!!
MAPA yep make America Poor Again Trump gets richer and the rest gets poorer who knew oh I did🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂
We were already poor.
Larger farmers will buy you out in bankruptcy.thank you Trump.
I knew also 🎺🧠💩🤪
Bottom line; The oil industry pumps more money into trump than the farmers do.
Exactly right.
D -🎯 Absolutely, MONEY TALKS and dump is all about $$$$
Why is Trump the only President to take on China? The Dims LOVE China because they are dripping in dirty Chinese Money and gifts.
@Dave Schultz Because he needs to pander to stupid people like you with showy but poorly thought out moves, that will ultimately nothing but harm the economy.
*Now lets see how many farmers vote for the Orange Monster in 2020! This will definitely reflect their intelligence or lack there of.. We shall see…*
They’re all uneducated, they won’t know any better
@ObamaisnextLincoln Especially when Trump is constantly eroding confidence in any news station that doesn’t flatter him and lie to make him look good. These idiots follow right along and yell “fake news!” every single time someone says negative facts relating to Trump.
@Arturo did you know that FOX is on his sh*t list now? He told supporters we need to find another news media this one is no good now. Lol. Google: trump fued with FOX. Lol
Trump will just blame obama or Hillary…..
Have you heard trumps favorite FOX news is in his line of fiery twitters now. Google: Trump fueds with FOX.
@bill b Way better than the crap we have now!
@bill b Maga Maggot and his cult of idiots, like bill.
Oh yeah
Trump is dangerously corrupt and incompetent.
I disagree with him being incompetent. He achieving his goals quite well.
mrthebillman – ‘Schrodinger’s #45: Criminal *and* cretinous, simultaneously’… 😹
That’s not the issue. The real issue is just enough Americans are also dangerously corrupt and incompetent. I thought we learned from WW2. Nope.
@One Love So you are saying he is evil. You might be correct.
How much more do you need to suffer from a President who doesn’t support the American people ?
A progressive supporting government handouts to corporations, ethanol is a scam
Maybe the same amount you suffered from the last six presidents who didn’t care about the American people.
We already suffered 8 YEARS. It’s time we PUT AMERICA FIRST.
*Definition of insanity = being a farmer and still supporting Trump*
@New Blue 2 hardly. the democrats made the choice easy…appears theyre about to again………….??….youre just a sore loser(too).
@New Blue 2 who SHOULD i support??…..ewe would think ewe would have an answer……??………no??…….sheep.
@CynAnne1 still nothing even remotely real…lol what a fool. yeah im a russian…….lmao.
Haha, “he screwed us!” Ironic truly ironic… I still have no comprehension how or why anyone is continuing to support trump.
Selfishness RACISM and greed… What did I miss?
Grassley get his reward for supporting don the con. Couldn’t happen to a better person.
Here’s a link to more of the interview.

Unfortunately, he’s still misguided, and it’s his constituents that will suffer more than him.
They voted for Trump let them rep what they sow🍄💩👍😒
Amen, what did they expect when you vote for a lying clown.
Manuel Villacana : Let welcome and forgive those who cross the line, back to patriotism; whilst offering NO QUARTER to those who refuse. Like Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, The Duke of Wellington, etc. Whatever it takes ✌️👍
Americans get ready to subsidize or pay for another one of trumps stupid deals.2020 cant come fast enough
The stupidity of farmers thinking a man like Donald Trump ever represented them. I have zero sympathy.
It’s been a while since a snake oil salesmen like Trump has come through this part of the country. Their grandfathers would have run him out of their towns after one look of him. They just didn’t know better.
We hate the east coast elites! Lets vote for an east coast elite!
Does anybody really believe him anymore? It’s all b.s.
