Title: Poll: Farmers Support Tariffs On China

A survey conducted by Iowa State University has found that farmers in Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois support President Trump’s tariffs against China. According to the study, nearly 60-percent of respondents in those states expressed support for the ongoing trade war, while 14-percent had neutral feelings on the matter.

This comes after Beijing announced earlier this month it would be suspending purchases of all U.S. agricultural farm products in response to the Trump administration’s recent round of tariffs targeting $300 billion in Chinese imports.

Although the heightened trade tensions between Washington and Beijing has resulted in a near $10 billion decrease in U.S. agricultural exports to China, domestic farm exports have continued to rise. This suggests other countries have started buying products that China has dropped.

Nonetheless, farmers feel the tariffs have put pressure on their industry with nearly 80-percent of respondents saying they fear farmers will bear the brunt of the trade dispute. President Trump has been eager to address this fear.

“Again, they’ve said this many times, they’ve said they’re going to buy farm products, so far they’ve disappointed me with the truth,” he stated. “They haven’t been truthful or let’s say they have certainly delayed this decision, but it’s their intention to buy a lot of farm products and we did, we had a very good call with China.”

On Tuesday, the president announced he will be holding off on a number of tariffs scheduled for September, so consumers won’t be affected during the holiday season.

“We’re doing this for Christmas season, just in case some of the tariffs would have an impact on U.S. customers, but so far they’ve had virtually none,” explained President Trump. “The only impact has been that we’ve collected almost $60 billion from China, compliments of China, but just in case they might have an impact on people, what we’ve done is we’ve delayed it so that they won’t be relevant for the Christmas shopping season.”

Real Americans support Tariffs. Fake Americans don't.

Yeah - for the rich farmers:

With farmers suffering from his trade policies, Trump has attempted to tamp down backlash with targeted aid packages—but, according to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), most of the assistance has gone to wealthy farmers.

If you want to hear the coldest silence you've ever heard, just recite the total amount of federal subsidies that some of the richest farmers in your local area have received from the feds.

EWG: EWG Farm Subsidy Database

Yeah, I really know how to be popular in a rural town when I feel like it.

For instance, I looked at my home county and found some fun results. These figures are only from 1995-2006. So some of these amounts are essentially doubled since 2006.

A classmate of mine leads the list with $1.5 million in farm subsidies from 1995-2006. His wife, a full-time teacher with high pay, signed up as well so she got $1.47M. Maybe it is petty of me to observe their struggling to avoid homelessness with only $300,000 a year federal subsidy. My cousin was next and got $1.3M but maybe he is mired in poverty because his wife only got $725K, leaving them with less than $200K per year to scrape by on. How can they make ends meet with only $200,000 a year in government checks? His buddy down the road got $1.3M. Another classmate of mine farms with his older brother and they each got only $830K each.

It really is a shame when these people suffer along, almost starving when they only get checks for $100K-$200K per year from the feds.

It really is a scandal. And these are most often some of the worst people in the county in real life. Despicable people and I have known them well my entire life. I've only scratched the surface of how worthless and greedy they are, how they destroy community life with their greed and their petty games.
