Donald Trump is a terrorist.
Why would you hurt American farmers? That is economic sabotage!
Ok-Ruin5223 on
He’s canceling the Biden money and will give the farmers Trump money. Record spending levels with this administration.

Fully support. In context: Donald Trump cancels funding to farmers HARBORING illegal migrants. There I fixed it for you!
livelaughoral on
No money, and workers being kidnapped (Trump lied about allowing farmers to manage and take responsibility for their workers).
Get ready for higher and higher prices, folks.

So Wall Street to swoop in to buy the land. They already are buying the water rights

If they continue to vote Republican after this we can just fucking stop with all the damned news stories about the plight of the farmers, right?
BleuStLaurent on
Maybe a president who has always been fed with a silver spoon doesn’t respect hard-working American farmers. Who could have guessed?

He will hurt the reds in blue states to hurt the blues. The reds in blue states will mistakenly continue to think they will eventually come out on top.

The Farmers & Ranchers overwhelmingly voted for Trump.. it’s what the deserve trying to own the Libs
AcanthisittaNo6653 on
He talks about helping farmers only when he’s in a red state and worried they won’t let him leave.

Republicans want their benefactors to buy small farms for pennies on the dollar and then raise prices on food.

Trump looks at his daily McDonald’s order and says to himself that none of the farmers help make it, so screw them.

It’s hard to feel bad for this self inflicted wound farmers bright in themselves, but an agriculture collapse benefits no one.

It’s a trick. He’ll take it away, let them reapply, then say „I gave farmers all this money.“ It’s all an advertisement.

That right, he’ll bankrupt the famers, starve the people to own the libs. But I’m sure our military with be still the best

Hmmm so what are they wanting that land for?😢

It’s almost they are trying to cause desperation and chaos… oh wait.., that’s exactly their goal. Just another – Authoritarian playbook checklist item – completed.

This is really feeling like the tech bros want to bankrupt the farmers and landowners to buy up on the cheap and make their stupid techno-creepo fascism cities. Goes against all the stereotypes they campaigned with for years. Must feel disgusting to capitulate to any ideas that Curtis yarvin has.

Huh, didn’t know a president could intentionally screw over a state like this. I wonder which states the next president will decide to ruin

Colorado is a purple state, this will lose them seats in the house.
Numerous lawsuits are underway. Courts in several cases have blocked these funding freeze efforts already.

Every Colorado rancher in the west and farmer out on the eastern plains, they all voted for tRump. Let them find their bootstraps.

They had a choice continue to own their farms or own the libs. They woke up and chose violence against the libs; now they get the other side of the coin.

Time for the rich western states to stop sending money to the eastern, impoverished states then. Going to suck to miss California’s bazillions.

Lol want to build things domestically yet here we are still asking uncle sam for farmer hand outs. So confusing.

Wants to bankrupt farmers so „bigAG“ can take over more of our food systems.

In a capitalist-driven political environment – particularly one aligned with the interests of the wealthiest individuals and multinational corporations – for them it makes strategic sense to centralise control of food production by undermining independent farms. If the goal, whether explicit or implicit, is to ensure that the richest entities own the means of agricultural production, then policies can be shaped to squeeze out small and medium-sized producers.
One effective path toward this consolidation is to reduce or eliminate state and federal support for independent farms (which appears to be the case here, and has before in the 1980s). While large agribusinesses often receive substantial subsidies, smaller operations frequently lack access to equivalent assistance, leaving them more vulnerable to market shocks and natural disasters. Meanwhile, tariff regimes or retaliatory trade policies – such as those seen in recent US-China trade tensions – can make it significantly harder for farmers to sell their products abroad. As their profit margins collapse, many are forced into bankruptcy or distress sales, often resulting in the transfer of their land and assets to investment firms, food conglomerates, or corporate agriculture giants.
These outcomes are further reinforced by regulatory structures and market dynamics that reward scale, automation, and vertical integration. With the backing of powerful lobbying groups, major agribusinesses can shape legislation, subsidies, and patent laws (such as those concerning genetically modified seeds) to entrench their advantage. Over time, this leads to a system in which the production, processing, and distribution of food is controlled by fewer and wealthier hands.
Whether this is the product of a deliberate plan or simply the logical result of pro-market, pro-corporate ideology is debatable. What’s clear, however, is that the policies described – removing support from smaller farms, encouraging foreign market instability, and facilitating buyouts – do serve the end goal of consolidating the food system under the control of the most powerful economic actors. The consequences for rural economies, food diversity, and democratic access to land are profound.

“I cherish our farmers.” -Trump, 6/29
“During his speech in Iowa, the president warned that if the farmers do not do a “good job, we’ll throw them out of the country.”
“We’ll let the illegals stay, and we’ll throw the farmer the hell out, okay? Get ready, farmer,” he said.” ([Source](https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5385223-trump-farmers-immigration-undocumented-workers/)) -Trump, 7/4
Farmers are losing their ~~socialism~~, *subsidies*.
