Will Trump Crash the Farm Economy?
Will Trump Crash the Farm Economy?
KNOXVILLE, Iowa Donald Trump won over 60 percent of the 2016 vote in rural Iowa, where I live, and I havent heard much concern from Republicans over the presidents alleged infidelities with a porn actress, his ties to Russia or Jared Kushners real estate shenanigans. ...
The presidents position is actually quite precarious. Hes already at a historic low approval rating. With the multiple scandals, rampant corruption and the Mueller investigation, the only thing keeping him near 40 percent approval and most important, approval among most Republicans is a strong economy. That, and Fox cheerleading. But if he tanks the rural economy, he and his legacy are in deep trouble.
Furthermore, if the rural economy turns sour, much of rural America will abandon Mr. Trump, and Fox may have no choice but to follow.
Then its just a matter of time before they will turn with the hope that a Trump impeachment and a Pence presidency will save the economy, the conservative gains that have been made under Trump, and the Republican Party. Theyll believe that they have no choice, and it will be swift and ruthless.
