Trump Announces Coronavirus Food Assistance Program For Farmers | NBC News NOW

[albertoserrano]

So the third farmers bailout since being weakened by the tariff war and donnies says he's against socialism

[bpate]

I'm so tired of him saying I have done something that no other president has ever done..

[gigiskitties]

Can he stop congratulating himself for even one minute?

[anonymousgoogle]

People have been working. The pay has just been lower. Multiple stimulus checks on a monthly basis would have helped. The Senate Republicans out of touch with the people. Vote Trump and all of them out. It will take months or years to catch up on these losses.

[davidanthony]

This is the 3rd time he has had to help the Farmers, mostly because of his incompetence.

[simonemarie]

No other president has allowed so many to die from his own denial and ignorance.

[yolandadenny]

Last time he bailed farmers out, the bulk of the bailout $$ went to corporated farm owned by Russian interests. Small farmers didn't get that much. What will they do with the food, they need to deliver it to food banks to be given out to hungry families.

[cydviator]

So it appears that trumps whole business model is quid pro quo. I give you money, you vote for me.

[hatersgonnahate]

If he was in a nursing home where he belongs everyone would ignore him and say "Oh just agree with him, he has dementia"
Wait...🤔🤔🤔

[joanmarie]

They wouldn't already be in the hole if he hadn't played games with the tariffs that affected their lively hood a year ago...its been down hill for them since then. .now you add the Corona virus on top of the tariff war...these poor farmers are hurting.. they dont want handouts...they want to go back to farming and no game playing...

[xavierhsg]

I think Donnie is beginning to like socialism.

[WA_S_S_AW]

Rural America has been queuing food banks hard since the tariffs anyways so this is, as usual, way too little, way too late.

[mariareyes]

PRAISE THE LORD PRESIDENT TRUMP WE LOVE YOU, MAY THE LORD JESUS BLESS YOU,

[j.whisper]

Farmers?? need food? How about inner city kids? Most of them have never seen a garden!

[christinearonson]

WTF! How does that help the middle class and the poor?

[PeterSolarchannel]

He compares himself with Abraham Lincoln or is it my idea?

[hortonc]

You’ve done nothing for my family have to beg for help!!! Keep tooting your horn!!!

[rider]

He cannot talk like an intelligent person, he cannot read like a literate person, he cannot think straight, he keeps praising himself. Who voted for him?

[kimcoates]

"No other President has treated the farmers like Trump...". I cannot believe he just said that! From the negative effects of tariffs, to hundreds of farm foreclosures, to watching farmers destroy ripe crops in their fields for lack or harvesters and buyers. Who has treated farmers worst? Throwing money at them now is like a bandaid that never heals the underlying issues. Very Trump-like with taxpayers money.

[YZW]

Tariffs are easy! Send more welfare! More money on the way Nunes!
