Trump imposes tariff on 180 countries, exempts Russia, Belarus, Cuba and North Korea.

It doesn't work to blame me for your own issues.
You are the one with the issues as you lie and post dishonestly about what other have said.
???????

Right. You said "farmers in red states" and you never clarified what "it" (or "this") means, specifically.
Farmers is plural. Plural can be 2 or it can be 2000. It is you that is misinterpreting the word "farmers."
Roughly 9 out of 500 people voted for "other candidate" for President in 2024. If you're likewise telling me that 9 out of 500 "farmers in red states" are now saying "I didn't vote for this", I would tell you 'big whoop' because that amounts to basically nobody.
LOL. So now you have moved the goalposts from name one farmer to I don't care because it isn't the majority.

You are really digging yourself a hole with your intellectual dishonesty.

Others need to be specific about what they are saying. That's the entire issue. That's what I've been trying to get out of Tbird and you, but neither of you can do so because you're both trying to claim that a particular sentiment exists in a meaningful way when it clearly doesn't.

No, it is YOU who is REFUSING TO CLARIFY what you mean by "farmers in red states" and by "this" (whatever it is that those farmers didn't vote for and are now regretting their vote for Trump).

If you mean that "two farmers" out of all the "red state farmers" hold such an "I didn't vote for this" sentiment, then whoopity doo; that's effectively ZERO. If you mean "two hundred thousand" of them, then I'm listening. Otherwise, who cares; you're not saying anything meaningful and you're trying to pretend that a particular sentiment exists in any meaningful way when it obviously doesn't.

You're still not saying anything meaningful.

What is unspecific about this statement? Be specific.

Farmers in a lot of red states are already saying this isn't what I voted for , and are also saying they might go bankrupt.

Do you not know what a farmer is? Do you not know that plural means more than one?
Why do we need to clarify when we didn't say "This isn't what I voted for."

ROFLMFO.. What a move of the goalposts again.

You have gone from name one farmer to it doesn't matter until you name 200,000. What a moronic position to take and then claim you didn't move the goalposts.

that's what ibdamann into the night uncencensored does.

but you're still wrong because Russia those countries are on their own special worse treatment track.
 
Let's look at tarriffs from a product level

An American made lighter sells for $25. All of that money stays in this country.
A Chinese copy sells for $20.
$5 goes to the guy who sells it,
$15 goes back to China.

Let's say Trump puts on a 50% tariff on Chinese goods.
Now that Chinese lighter sells for $30.
The American lighter is now cheaper than the Chinese one and every bit of the $$$ stays in this country.
The demand for production increases so the manufacturer may have to hire more people.

People have to decide if the bulk of their daily needs should be made in America or made in China AND, God forbid we ever have need to go to war with China, where do they want their essentials to be made?
 
He is too stupid to understand it was a general statement that was in the news and I just pointed it out.
and IF he had read your links he would have known it was a true statement and a lot of farmers that voted for Trump are questioning if they voted wrong and against their own better interest.
In time they won't be the only ones when Trumps tariffs and other BS finally turns around and bites them in the ass there will be a lot more of them
It just will take a little time.
you people are arguing with each other now, and stll losing.

people should buy American regardless of price based on this proper understanding of reality.

you're the best, lionfish.

What is unspecific about this statement? Be specific.

Farmers in a lot of red states are already saying this isn't what I voted for , and are also saying they might go bankrupt.
RQAA.
1) Which farmers are supposedly saying this? (aka, show them to me)
2) What IS "this"? In other words: Which Trump policy(ies) got sprung upon these farmers by surprise that they didn't specifically and knowingly vote for?

(After all, they loooooooooooved Trump just a few short months ago, but they haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate Trump now, correct?)
Do you not know what a farmer is?
I know what a farmer is. My best friend is a farmer. I am neighbors with a farmer. My parents were raised on farms. --- The definition of 'farmer' isn't the issue at hand here.
Do you not know that plural means more than one?
I'm well aware of that as well. However, as you've already admitted, that could mean "2 farmers" or that could mean "200,000 farmers". You need to be more specific, as there's a big difference between the two. The latter would be a significant number; the former is essentially zero.
Why do we need to clarify when we didn't say "This isn't what I voted for."
Because you need to actually form an argument. When you're claiming that there's all sorts of "farmers in red states" that are saying "this isn't what I voted for" (point being that Trump is noticeably "losing support" of those farmers), then you need to SHOW those farmers to me. You also need to specify what "this" is. Is it Trump's tariff policies? Is it Trump's energy policies? What specifically didn't those people vote for that Trump is now doing by surprise to them?

I didn't look at the first link. Your second link is mostly just some dude's opinion about the matter, insulting farmers' intelligence along the way. You're still not making any point.

You still haven't specified what you're actually trying to claim or what the claim means or why anyone should take the claim seriously. How can I "move the goalposts" when you won't make a clear claim or clearly explain what you're trying to conclude from said claim?

If you're trying to say that "two farmers feel a certain way", then I see no reason to think anything of it in terms of "OMGGGGG TRUMP IS LOSING SUPPORT AMONGST FARMERS". If that's not what you're trying to say, then explain to me what it is that you're saying.

Still trolling I see.

IOW, the leftist news is lying, attempting to manipulate people into believing that "farmers in red states", in significant numbers, are "turning on Trump", saying "this isn't what I voted for"... and you are soooooooooo gullible that you just bought into it hook line and sinker without bothering to ask any simple questions such as: "Are these couple of farmers representative of all farmers in general? or "How many farmers actually feel this way? or "Why am I not hearing any farmers say this except for the couple of hand-picked ones on the TV screen?"
and IF he had read your links he would have known it was a true statement and a lot of farmers that voted for Trump are questioning if they voted wrong and against their own better interest.
What does "a lot" of farmers mean? Two farmers? Twenty farmers? Two thousand farmers? Two hundred thousand farmers?

What policies is Trump enacting right now that he didn't campaign on?
In time they won't be the only ones when Trumps tariffs and other BS finally turns around and bites them in the ass there will be a lot more of them
It just will take a little time.
Seems to me like you're trying to make a big deal out of nothing, just like the leftist fake news does. I "wonder why that is"......
