Trumps trade has become a president made disaster for red states as Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) said South Dakota had lost $500 million
Axios reported, Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) told Axios Mike Allen on Thursday that President Trumps trade war with China has caused the price of his states soybeans to plummet 20%, costing South Dakota half a billion dollars. Data show Americas farmers have gone through significant economic pain as a result of the ongoing U.S.-China trade war. Republican lawmaker who represent rural parts of the nation have been divided in whether to continue supporting the Trump administrations efforts, even as they take a toll on their constituents.
Rounds warned that the support for Trumps trade is not infinite, or as he put it, there is an end to the rope. Republicans are toeing the party line and still expressing the belief that Trump can beat China on trade, but the senators comments suggest that if the trade war continues to drag on and imperil the political futures of elected Republicans, they will abandon ship on this president.
Republicans arent going to go down with the sinking Trump trade war ship.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
I guess it's time to buy ADM, Cargill, DuPont Pioneer & Monsanto stock before they buy these farms at auction.

I would say closer to the election. That will prevent time for any fact checking to come out, and we all know that he could care less about any pain he inflicts on Americans.

Just so folks here at home understand something. Our Neice's Son Teach's English to pre and early School Children of Corporate Exec's in China. Things are getting dicey for Americans working in China,the Harassment level has been amping up since the Tariff has amped up here. The Canadian's working in China are being harassed even more over Tariff's.

(82,849 posts)As long as it holds up until tomorrow, Trump's fine with that each and every day. You don't mind seeing all these small farms go under as long as Trump keeps promising that he'll "win" the trade wars, right? He doesn't have to actually "win" (whatever the hell that means), just promise he's going to win. That's good enough for Sen. Rounds and his constituents.

(22,124 posts)actions in so called dealing w/ China and others on their trade policies. But in the meantime, crops stored are rotting away, emergency funds for the farmers are not near enough to compensate these farmers and guess who is bearing the cost of all of this? All of us. Tariffs on other products too, are causing hardships for many factories and other industries so farmers' pain is just the tip of the iceberg.
Just watch too, with the pending 2020 elections coming up...rump is going to claim a non-existent victory too.
