Trump sells out MAGA-loving farmers: A play in 3 acts
ACT I
President Donald Trump posts on Truth Social in March:
To the Great Farmers of the United States: Get ready to start making a lot of agricultural product to be sold INSIDE of the United States. Tariffs will go on external product on April 2nd. Have fun!
ACT II
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins says in April:
There's no one that's going to fight harder or smarter or more strategically than @POTUS—for ALL Americans ... we are going to put America FIRST; not China, not India, not beef from Argentina, not dairy products from Canada — but America first.
ACT III
Trump says in October:
Trump: "The only price we have that's high is beef, and we'll get that down. And one of the things we're thinking about doing is beef from Argentina.
Weirdly, American farmers don’t like this play. The people who most strongly supported Trump in all three of his elections are now crying about it.
