Farmers have sent a stern warning to Donald Trump, letting him know that they are at the point of “rebelling” against him if he doesn’t fix the mess that he’s created.
Trump’s twin policies of mass deportations and tariffs have crippled American farms across the country, which is now threatening to shut down many small farms. Farmers say they either need a reversal of these policies or a government bailout, and they are likely to get neither of them.
This is a group that voted overwhelmingly for Trump, in spite of the hardships that he inflicted on them during his first term, when a record number of farmers had to declare bankruptcy. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.
