Republican Lawmakers Rip President Donald Trump's Farm Bailout | Hardball | MSNBC

[eltyris]

Didn't he promise: " I will make you so rich, you won't believe it"..now they need government money just to survive. And this is only the beginning.

Those were the farmers trump called something like fake actors, handpicked people that NBC interviewed, were actually the real farmers etc: explaining how his tarrifs were negatively affecting them, while he was speaking at a VFW gathering.
He heavily criticized the news piece.
From what I could see those were real everyday American farmers etc: telling it like it was.
I was astonished how nasty mean he acted in his response to the report.
And, telling the American people now, what to believe and not believe!!

[melissastipes]

Dear farmers, here’s a BANDAID for the BULLET wound, I just gave you!!!
(Fyi, you paid for this too)🤫

[OoMrNguyenoO]

I see now. This is how he went 3 times. SAD

[Ladibug]

Trump sounds more like a spoiled child rather than a "president"

[lavernewilliams]

Giving welfare to the farmer's huh?

[easternwoods]

So Milania told Trump " Make me " A parents worst fears when your kids call you out. Shows you who has the power and it ain't Donnie

[colonelkurtz]

Body language of Mr and Mrs leaving plane. Its like they didn't even know each other. No contact at all. Telling. ..Carmella and Tony Soprano were warmer.

[michaelbrin]

From Canada : FrankenTrump needs an extra shot of lighting to make him semi-alive !

[Swnsasy]

Melania is there for show, we all know this.. She was laughing and having fun taking pictures with the Obama's, she can't stand her husband the same as we can't! Lol

[richardalexander]

Socialist Dotard Donnie dolling out corporate farm welfare. Maybe he's spending too much time with his buddy Vladimir.

[shesmypresident]

Sell the excess farm food to Venezuela they're starving under communism!! Give them some kind food credit IOU..

[defenestratefalsehoods]

If he asking for zero tariffs apparently you don't know how tariffs work.

[doclewis]

So THIS "negotiation" costs the American taxpayers $12 BILLION when it didn't have to cost us How is THAT a better deal? That's money that could've gone to healthcare, the veterans, school safety, education or any other department. Instead it's going to our farmers because foreign importers slammed their doors on US imports. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. AND EXPENSIVE. Words are free yet they cost American taxpayers $12 BILLION.

[manoftheserengeti]

Handout will never happen - the conservative, pioneering, rugged individualist, bootstrappin' can do attitude of the American farmer will never allow him to take a government handout . . .

[marietheresahughes]

Trumpet Dumpty will have a great fall. Tee Hee.

[byteresistor]

Comrade Socialist Trump for Gulag 2018!

[ngoldman]

We agreed to "work" together. Nothing tangible.

[bauderan]

All WEEK politicians. Anyway we don't need that bill anymore, FREE TRADE and New Markets in Europe for our farmers. President Trump the KING 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👑👑👑

[anitaclarke]

The constitutional crisis is here folks !
