Fresh off of the “we hate socialism” campaign, Trump just promised another 16 billion of welfare for farmers. You won’t hear any “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” argument. no, for some reason, the right applauds this welfare. Ironically, it’s a direct result of tariffs implemented by the President. But, since farmers are over 95% white, this does not count as socialism.

But this won’t matter, because Trump’s support has nothing to do with production or policy. I remember when the right accused Obama of rewarding voters w “free stuff” or indirectly buying votes. This farmer welfare will not be scrutinized the same way.
