    Just like last time, this will happen too late for many family farms to avoid having to sell, and Big Ag companies will step in, but up that land for cheap AND get those government handouts.

    I wonder how these farmers feel about handouts. Maybe Donnie can send them the bootstraps they all like to yammer about.

    This sounds familiar somehow, like we’ve been here before. Wonder why that is?

    Bankruptcies for farmers still shot up over 20% last trade war, so even if he does eventually bail them out, everytime this happens 1 in 5 of them lose their farm… eventually none will be left and Blackrock will own all the farmland.
