farmers voted for him in '24. His tariffs in '20 caused China to stop buying soybeans then and caused quite a bit of pain to the farmers back then.

These people already knew firsthand how damaging to them his tariff policy was.

Then in '24 he says he was going to do it again and they vote for him! Again! And guess what? He does what he said he would do and had done before, and now the farmers are hurting just like last time. What did they expect? I can't believe people can be this stupid. Sometimes I have no hope for this country.
