11. How can people not understand what you just wrote?

The "Tax Payers" pay for his golf, his screw-ups, the taxes for the rich, etc. etc.

Someone who was a friend of mine (not really a friend, a friend understands we can have differing opinions), she asked me not to talk to her anymore, became upset the I told her that trump was playing golf every week-end, and she said "he has enough money, he can do it", so I told her, "no, the tax payers are paying for his golfing trips every week-end at a ratio of about $1 million per month." and that is when she told me not to talk to her anymore...

The tax payers also paid for the screw ups of G.W. Bush, and all other republican administrations...can't people see that?

14. FDR got a mountain of crap from the republicans for all he die trying to stop the GOP/big biz ....

.... caused great depression too. And after all that crap Stanford U. produced with right wing
and business money and pressure their "Hoover Institute" dedicated to one of the architects
of the Great Depression. Your friend doesn't want to admit she was wrong but don't worry because
soon, very soon, Trump's treason with and for Russia will be out front and nobody will be able
to deny it.

5. Almost 90% of our food is raised by corporate farms

This is just another big give away to corporations. The little guys will get nothing.

10. Where's that $12B coming from? And what about next year, and the next?

China is going to buy its soybeans from other countries.

And Trump found a way to tap into it

[Honeycombe8]

12. *All* SHITLER's "stable genius" ideas hurt his Deplorables first and the most - like his Wall

His cheap labor-busting immigration crackdown, the boondoggle of his Wall raining billions on the heads of construction contractors, now he wants to pay off the Deplorables farmers being busted by tariffs - they've always been Welfare Queens with their billions in farm subsidies before, now raking in the Welfare in tariff relief.

13. Socialism just like mother Russia. Government money paying farmers.

[sandensea]

For independent farmers, next to nothing.

[C Moon]

16. The U.S. is become another failed Trump business.

[lame54]

17. Just before an election is a good time...

21. CNN reported one farmer said,

it's like applying a bandaid to a broken leg.

[Shoonra]

22. Don't be surprised if aid to farmers is delivered after the aid to Puerto Rico

Trump is easy with promising help .... sluggish about the actual delivery.

Don't be surprised if, somehow, the money to compensate farmers doesn't materialize for years and years.
