“If he doesn’t understand what he’s doing to the nation by doing what he’s doing, he’s going to be a one-term president, plain and simple."
“They’re not in touch with the reality of the Midwest and the impact that the tariffs would have."
Thus spoke farmer Robert Runck and Bart Bergquist, a biology professor and part-time farmer about the tariffs the con artist either has or is planning to implement on China and other countries. As a result of those actions, those same countries are raising tariffs on farm goods from the U.S., thus leading to the comments above.
“I know my neighbors are not rolling in money — they’re trying to supplement whatever else they can do to keep going," Mr. Bergquist said.
The Chinese government has also threatened a 25% tariff on soybeans, a much more significant crop for US farmers. China was the largest buyer of US soybeans last year, gobbling up $12.3 billion worth of imports.
“For the United States soybean grower, China is the 800-pound gorilla in the room,” Mr. Henry said. He suggested that Beijing is exacting political payback against the Republican heartland: “China knows who got Trump elected.”
Even better, China recently enacted a 179% import charge (a tariff by another name) on sorghum. China is the largest buyer of American sorghum products. Its imports of the crop were worth about $960 million last year, according to Chinese customs data.
"Sorghum is a good target for a trade dispute since it would have a major financial impact on the US," Loren Puette, director at ChinaAg, an agricultural research firm, told CNN at the time.
Squeezing the sorghum trade could also hurt America's rural economy -- particularly in states like Kansas -- where President Donald Trump has a lot of support.
The more the con artist flails about thinking the U.S. doesn't need anyone to trade with, the more this country will become like his businesses. Failed.
