FAFO! Trump Farmers In Shock Over Tariff Chaos - The Logical Leftist [View all]
Farmers in America's heartland are reeling as a result of President Donald Trump's stupid trade wars with our allies and trade partners.
In an interview with NBC News, West Virginia farmer Jennifer Gilkerson revealed that cuts to a key United States Department of Agriculture program have left her with a large stash of unsold freeze-dried fruits that she had spent thousands of dollars producing under the assumption that they would be bought by local schools.
“We’re just in such a state of shock," she told NBC. "We just don’t really even know how to respond to all this. We thought that this was sacred and really untouchable. So it’s just quite a shock and very devastating. Everyone thinks all farmers voted for this, but we did not vote for this."
