Trump outrages farmers by giving 20 billion to Argentina when Argentina supplanted USA as soybean provider to China

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

Summary
1. Trump's stupid tariff war decentivizes China from buying US soybeans
2. Argentina grabs the China market
3. Trump loves Argintina's losing rightwing leader..giving him $20 billion
4. Maga hates bailouts especially to a country that supplanted USA



Trump set to bail out Argentina, irking some in ‘America First’ camp


“I don't think there's too much doubt that President Trump himself personally has instructed Secretary Bessent and the Treasury Department to come to Argentina's aid and support President Milei because President Trump wants to support President Milei,” said Douglas Rediker, chairman of International Capital Strategies, which advises institutional investors.

By trying to solve his ally’s problem, Trump is creating fresh headaches for himself. American farmers, among the president’s most loyal supporters, were outraged this past week when Argentina suspended its 26 percent export tax to encourage China to place a massive order for soybeans even as Washington was preparing to help Milei.
Amid Trump’s ongoing tariff war with Beijing, American farmers have seen their once-plentiful Chinese orders drop to zero.

Argentina’s success in supplanting them in the Chinese market while receiving U.S. financial help has raised questions about the Trump administration’s priorities.

“We are uncompetitive in that China market due to government policy. On the other hand, our government gives that financial bailout to a foreign country who in turn makes their prices more competitive and sells into a market that we’re unable to access,” said Caleb Ragland, who grows soybean, wheat and corn on about 4,500 acres of land in Larue County, Kentucky.

1. Farmers facing a steep learning curve.

I wonder if they will learn the lesson any time soon?

[Rebl2]

10. Doubtful

[ananda]

20. If it were any steeper, they'd fall down the rabbit hole.

Oh wait ....

[Tetrachloride]

21. It seems there is math involved.

[3auld6phart]

34. P)probably

Not. They are the same ignorant American electorate. Typically love the ignorant slobs, Baker Swaggerts jones, willing to drink the Kool aide.

[Kid Berwyn]

2. Trumpco

An inferior mob.

[BeyondGeography]

3. He's also squandering political capital on Bolsinaro in Brazil

Which, not totally coincidentally, is exporting more soybeans than ever to China.

Trump is a one-man wrecking ball to farmers, 80 percent of whom voted for him.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

4. expect Trump to transfer the remaining dregs of US wealth to US farmers.

[viva la]

5. Trump keeps finding all this money to spend--

Where?
Aren't funds supposed to be allocated in the budget by Congress?

[MLWR]

37. That is SO pre-2025.

[Deuxcents]

41. 20 Billion $..that's *billion* with a B. 🤬

[tanyev]

6. Maybe American farmers need to step up their sideburns game.

[617Blue]

42. Tramp is a sadist and farmers are masochists so they are made for each other.

[Attilatheblond]

7. He and Miller are trying EVERYTHING they can think of to get Americans to respond with violence

so they can find an excuse to mow us down.

[Blue Owl]

8. I'm surprised that American farmers haven't broke out the pitchforks and torches

After Diarrhea Donny done fucked them over like we all knew he would…..

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

12. Nothing shakes maga ❤️ of trump

[JI7]

18. They need a minority to take their anger out on

[LuvLoogie]

32. They'll take it out on the gays, the immigrants, the teachers. They will never look in the mirror.

Never.

[CousinIT]

9. Maybe they shouldn't have voted MAGA. FAFO. n/t

[popsdenver]

24. The MAGA voters

are beginning to be thrown under the bus.........Before the election, they should have all wondered what he meant when he said:

"Just vote for me this ONE last time, and you will never need to vote again"...........

The entire 75 Million of them have outgrown their usefulness to the Republican Party............

The Republican Voters and also all the Republican run Corporations put Trump/RepubliCON's in power, and "poopy pants" has now only started screwing both of them over.......... There is a whole, brand new group of Robber Barrons running things folks.......

(As a side note...........The next ones targeted at some point will be the Republican U.S. Senators, the Republican U.S. House members, AND the Republican Supreme Court Justices...........all are so dumb to realize that there is NO Judicial Branch, or Legislative Branch of government in a tyranny/dictatorship..............)

All of the things being done in the shadows, by the 2025 Group, and Steven Miller Inc , are aligning us all, for a Perfect Storm folks............

[Baitball Blogger]

11. They so deserve this lesson in stupid is what stupid does.

[Justice matters.]

30. They deserve the lesson but they never learn it. nt

[617Blue]

13. Make Argentina Great Again should be coming from the mouth of every Dem.

[no_hypocrisy]

14. Funny how that works, huh?

[peggysue2]

15. Cry harder

The majority of US farmers voted for this maniac who told everyone what he was prepared to do. Now, he's operating the playbook crippling the American agricultural sector while throwing the entire American economy into the toilet.

Surprise?

Only for the willfully blind and deaf.

[Justice matters.]

29. Howdy! They love the TOUGH patriarcal racist pigs.

They don't care he told them he doesn't care about them and all he wants is their votes okay?

[peggysue2]

38. Pretty much

In fact, he told all the MAGA and 'beautiful Christian' devotees he only needed their vote in 2024. Then they wouldn't need to vote anymore.

Why?

The hidden/not hidden message was that voting would become irrelevant. Once installed, he and his Flying Monkey Brigade had/has no intention of leaving.

[Golden Raisin]

16. Going forward

Let's see if farmers stop voting straight down-ballot Republican in future Federal, State and Local elections.

[Norrrm]

17. Farmers looking for bailouts again. Trump has made farmers 'takers not makers'. Socialists now.

[kimbutgar]

19. Unfortunately those farmers watch Reich wing media and will never hear this

That he’s helping Argentina over the American farmers. Those people are too far gone and brainwashed now to realize the truth.

[gfarber]

22. America First

Trump backed Milei with great pride,
Sent dollars to help him worldwide.
But farmers are sore—
Their China deals? No more!
While Argentina’s profits just glide.

Trump tossed Milei a big stack of dough,
Said, "Let’s help him put on a show!"
But farmers turned red—
"China buys them instead?!"
Now they’re mad in Kentucky corn rows.

To help Milei, Trump wrote a big check,
While his base cried, "What the actual heck?"
"China won’t buy our beans,
But they’re buying Argentine’s?"
Guess America First’s just a wreck.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

23. Nice!!!

[GoCubsGo]

25. ALL Americans should be outraged.

Millions of OUR fucking tax dollars are going to bail out Argentina, while our country is rotting to the core. Hurricane Helene happened a year ago. There are still homes in my neighborhood waiting for repair, and we didn't even get the worst of the damage here. Imagine what it's like in parts of North Carolina, where no help has arrived, at all. But, we can send funds to goddamn Argentina??? What the ever-loving fuck???

[Justice matters.]

26. Gee, the leopards are not stuffed yet...

Told them the pedophile they elected the first time would do it again.

They refused to believe it.

Fooled them once, shame on them.

Fooled them twice... the leopards were not stuffed yet.

How more stupid and racist do they have to be??

[Champp]

27. Republicans treat farmers like Suckers and Losers

same as regular taxpayers who are not qualified for Republican tax cuts for the rich.

[William Seger]

28. "questions about the Trump administration's priorities"

... only exist if you don't understand the priorities of an obnoxiously self-obsessed malignant narcissist — it sure isn't
America First, and I've never seen any evidence that farmers are anywhere on the list.

[Initech]

31. Hey assholes, you vote for this garbage repeatedly!

Let me go find the world's smallest violin!

[republianmushroom]

33. Live and learn, farmers.

Seems some people are being educated.

[IbogaProject]

35. Tots & Pears !!

Come on MAGA Farmers time to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. I do feel for any progressive farmers who are caught up in this mess.

[evolves]

36. FAFO

N/T

[DFW]

39. How many farmers that voted for Trump last time would vote against him next time?

My guess is some percentage hovering somewhere around zero.

They'd vote for him again in a heartbeat. Democrats, in their eyes, are for abortion (not choice, but abortion), soshalists, they are libbruls, supportive of the Constitution, and anti-American in general.

They listen to National Hate Radio and Fox Noise by choice, and disbelieve everything else. If they go bankrupt, it is the fault of George Soros, Adam Schiff and Hakeem Jeffries (he's a POC, you know!).

You could have Elissa Slotkin, Mark Kelly, and Eric Swalwell show up at a failing farm with overalls, free labor and ten million dollars in cash, and they'd tell the trio of "libbruls" to get lost, claiming that their votes are "not for sale." They refuse to acknowledge that they had sold their votes long ago, and gotten nothing in return.

[617Blue]

40. Make Argentina Great Again.

[peppertree]

43. It's said in Argentina, that it's impossible to be Argentine - and not be nostalgic.

Even the '70s - with all its mayhem - still elicit a deep nostalgia in most older people down there.

Before the dictatorship's Bush-style debt crisis permanently derailed them (a fact Milei and his fellow right-wingers always try to gloss over)...

[MaeScott]

44. Dems should be talking about this...

Every chance they get.
Oh and Epstein files

[aocommunalpunch]

45. These same fuckers will keep voting R.

Bank on it. They love being abused.
