This could also be posted in the leopard’s eating peoples faces pit thread because you know who the soy farmers voted for? Now they are waiting for their welfare checks… ---

Amen, from soybean country, Illinois USA. But what my farmer friends don’t sell in soybeans, they make up for by purchasing Trump baseball caps. So it evens out? ---

> [@bobot](#): > > But what my farmer friends You should ask them why they voted to put themselves in risk of bankruptcy. You should also ask them how they feel about socialism; you know, where U.S. taxpayers give free money to specific groups. ---

Interestingly, I ran across this article just earlier today after someone in another post linked to another article in The New Republic about another trump atrocity. Are American farmers’ faces safe from leopards because they’re in on the grift? > **[Why Won’t Farmers Rebel Against Trumponomics? Because They’re Rich.](https://newrepublic.com/article/200822/farmers-rebel-trumpnomics-tariffs-economy)** > > The majority of family farmers aren’t working-class strivers. They’re affluent, politically connected businessmen who know when their next bailout is coming. ---

Here’s an, um, interesting Truth Social post out today from @realDonald Trump: > [@](#): > > Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS! President DJT It looks like Trump doesn’t trust RFK Jr to give medical advice. Donald is correct there. ---

> [@solost](#): > > Are American farmers’ faces safe from leopards because they’re in on the grift? Nope. There’s a name for people who think that supporting Trump protects them: suckers. And they aren’t in on the grift anymore; they only _think_ they are, but that was before they helped elect somebody who thinks nothing of screwing over his own supporters. Somebody who doesn’t need their support anymore, to boot. To quote that linked article: > “Here in agriculture, I thought we all knew that story about free milk and a cow. And, uh, he’s got the milk,” she said. “He don’t need to buy the cow.” Trump got into office; so their usefulness is at an end to him. Trump has no reason to _want_ to help them, and given how supine Congress has been there’s no reason to think it’ll pressure him to do so anyway. ---

Given how the Right just loves soy, if all the soy farmers go bankrupt they’ll celebrate. ---

There’s no market for soybeans, so we’ll just create one. > After expediting emergency aid payments of more than $8 billion to over 560,000 farmers since March, Secretary Rollins today released the $2 billion in remaining funding for the Emergency Commodity Assistance Program (ECAP) and announced the purchase of more than 417,000 metric tons of American grown commodities to support international food assistance programs. Together, these actions represent billions in support of American producers, helping them weather economic uncertainty at home while expanding markets for U.S. agriculture abroad. > [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > I’ll bet that U.S. taxpayers pay for bailing out the ‘farmers’… again.
