Let me understand: In the last year of the Biden administration, soybean farmers sold $12 billion of product to China.

Trump gets elected and starts an unnecessary tariff/trade war with China. This year US farmers have sold zero soybeans to China. Argentina sold China that $12 billion worth of soybeans, at above market prices. Then Trump sends $20 billion to Argentina to prop up his fellow authoritarian president, because Trump puts America first.

Now Trump wants a tariff-funded bailout of $50 billion to U.S. farmers. Tariff money paid as a tax on American businesses and consumers. Corporate/business welfare? So much winning. Thanks, MAGA.
