US Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Thursday claimed American farmers are heading toward a “golden age,” even as President Donald Trump’s policies are increasingly driving them into financial distress.

During an appearance on Fox Business, Rollins discussed Trump’s upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping to talk trade between the two countries.

“For our farmers and our ranchers, for farm security, for food security, making sure our farmers can prosper as they move into what will hopefully be a golden age under this president, these trade deals are very important,” Rollins said. “But the president also understands that the over-reliance on a country like China has massive implications from a national security standpoint.”

1. Farm workers have been deported; farmers can't get fertilizer; they can't afford diesel;

they can't sell whatever crops they do grow. The only thing that's golden about farming under Trump is what's falling on them from a great height that they're being told is rain - and they might not get enough of that either, on account of climate change.
