How do you keep U.S. farmers voting for conservatives? Buy them off. How else.

Farmers receive $4.07 billion of new Trump trade war hush money

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has paid $4.07 billion of its latest round of compensation for farmers suffering from the trade war with China as of Monday, Communications Director Michawn Rich said in an email to Reuters.

The Trump administration in July announced $16 billion to compensate farmers for lost sales due to China’s retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agricultural products, on top of $12 billion pledged in last year’s aid package.

The aid program got off to a rocky start with farmers complaining of difficulty signing up and confusion over payment rates.

USDA has received 302,397 applications for the program since enrollment opened, Rich said. - PoliticusUSA - Reuters

1. Which means they are nothing more than

paid whores for trump. (not to disparage legitimate sex workers who fill a need in any society...)

Conservative values at work.

They probably also scream about all the money being used for food stamps, medicare/medicaid, social security, but if old enough, STILL accept same medicare and social security.

4. Where does this money come from?

AFAIK, he hasn't "declared an emergency, because my beautiful farmers are in danger of not supporting me anymore", so he can't just steal it from national security. Wouldn't this have to come from funding that Congress has already allocated for this purpose?
