President Donald Trump Gives $16 Billion To Farmers: 'Good Time To Be A Farmer' | NBC News NOW

No, I hope these hard-working people get this money. Let’s see what happens.

[anyway_anyway]

16billion from consumers and tax payer...all price on products up 50%

[Thomass]

Where's this money coming from. The U.S is broke. Come on get real !

[votes-haveconsequences]

DON'T FORGET.... The largest beef/meat packer in the US is a BRAZILIAN owned Company that will get a BIG CHUNK of that aide! SEND THE CHECKS DIRECTLY TO THE FARMER WHO OWNES FARMS!

[johnnyclark]

Continuously bailing out farmers is a giant money pit! If America wants to balance the budget stop paying farmers to fail by way of tax credits and subsidies. Most farmers live on giant plots of land like aristocrats but are actually surviving on government hand outs while living in giant farmhouses with lots of motor homes and other expensive toys like boats and new trucks. Stop feeling bad for farmers they are living high on the hog on tax your tax money!

N who are paying for that? We Americans and NOT China

[peanutnutter]

Trump's one true expertise is wasting billions of dollars.

[frannanderson]

Bankrupt farmers with Chinese tariffs then give them welfare money... but keep it Republican and just give it to large farm corps. Don’t forget to stop buying American because we don’t know if there is any agreement between the business and other countries for goods. And btw... MAGA merch is made in China but buy it anyway because we want Trump to use his office to make a boatload of money.

[peroxide-dealer]

Let's put Trump back in office in 2024 .

[electricman]

I don't have a pickup like rich farmers because I am a intelligent adult I don't need uncle Sam to give me money and best of all I can keep my self respect😅😅😅

[gerardocortes]

thats good because these farmers and farmworkers are the reason we live because they feed us

[spfttt]

AND...where did he get the 16 billion? Borrowed it from CHINA. We the People have to pay the 16 billion, while China makes a small fortune on interest. So much winning.

[michaelcharlesthearchangel]

It would be good to help the farmers invest in robotic farm equipment with those new resources.
America should be making a quantum leap soon.

[Duffman-znku]

Ahh the invisible hand of the free market picking losers and winners.

Let's see what can't we have happen ever? Foreign interference in our elections? Corporate tax cuts? Tax cuts for the Rich? Executive Cabinet positions run by grifters? Stacking the courts with shills? Pardon War criminals? Pardon Judge pedophiles? Preach hate at political reelection rallies? Steal tax exempt funds from charity foundations? I don't Mr. Leader of the Freak World, YOU TELL ME WHAT WE CAN'T HAVE HAPPEN?

[jbynum]

I support farmers but It's funny how Trump can come up with 16 billion dollars. He got them in this mess!

[ragingmonk]

22, 000 auto workers laid off. Lobster Industry in Maine devastated. Farmers on welfare. Crisis at the border and kids in custody dying. If this is winning I would hate to see what calls losing.

[giovannisoave]

Why is Trump destroying American farming?

[ab]

1:07 China doesn't pay the tariffs you don't!
