Short sightedness. Deregulating things that in the short term will make them money but not realizing the long term will devastate their own farms. Have you seen all the recalls lately and deaths due to them? You can not expect industries to police themselves when the only driving force is profit.
@@NarffetWerlz It literally did happen. Our farmers were devastated by Trump's trade policies. Exports to China dropped 10 billion from 2017-18. Google US farm subsidies by year and see for yourself. Subsidies skyrocketed under Trump.
Or you decide not to sell cakes in Smith County, and the people from Jones County decide not to sell there either because of the tariffs. Then the people in Smith County have fewer cake choices, plus the cake makers of Smith County could start overcharging because they know locals don't have any other options.
If you're not selling cakes in Smith County you're profits decline. You may try to go elsewhere but there may be more roadblocks such time and distance you have to pay for transportation of your cakes and that comes out of your money
Then the real truth comes out, which is Kraft/Heinz owns all of the bakeries, the tariffs were window dressing, and all consumers involved are being fleeced and gouged, and blaming presidents for it.
Tariffs level the market to protect our domestic producers. Right now, we are losing industries to other countries that are going to sell their products back here (JOHN DEERE) WHEN YOU DON'T BUY AMERICAN, BYE, BYE, AMERICA. NO JOBS, NO TAXES. NO TAXES NO COUNTRY. BUY, BUY, AMERICAN.
@_loss_ There aren't any tariffs on domestically produced products. If you do your homework, you will find that the tariffs will target specific products (AGAIN; EXAMPLE: JOHN DEERE). John Deere is moving to Mexico. They want to produce their machinery THERE. While keeping a minimal presence here, they want to sell their products here duty-free. It also keeps other countries from "dumping" their products here. I've worked in the steel industry for the last 43 years and have witnessed many instances of "dumping." Foriegn produced steel was dumped here in Trumps' first term. The steel was priced lower than what our domestic producers could make it. It was crippling our domestic producers. The USW BEGGED Trump for tariffs to level the playing field. He did, and it saved a lot of jobs. BOTTOM LINE is that we support our domestic producers the best we can with FAIR TRADE POLICIES, or we support their ex-employees with HIGHER taxes because of plant closings, and the drain on our social services. One way we collect taxes on people working. The other we spend taxes and watch ALL our domestic producers leave the US. Ain't freedom of choice great. BUY BUY AMERICAN, OR BY BY AMERICA. So, how do you want to support your fellow Americans?
If you're a Conservative, then you appreciate deregulation and free trade. Correct? Well tariffs are the exact opposite. That's one. Tariffs are not by definition bad. If your country produces a (half)product of acceptable quality AND quantity AND for a reasonable price, and you want your citizens to buy those (half)products instead of imported alternatives ONLY THEN tarrifs might be a viable approach. But, you must be aware that other countries will not like you much, and will reserve the right to do the same to any of your exports.
And then you may get supply chain disruptions, cause u may not get the supplies u need, cause either the prices are too high or the country just won't sell the items to u, all because of tarriffs...in turn, this affects the economy, local and abroad...And people should be free to buy products from whatever country they choose, this is what keeps the economy going, the flow of goods, not more trade wars and increasing in prices back and forth, this can be damaging...

@@wayneessar7489 Absolutely correct, Trump helps them fail, then "is the only one" (another lie) who will bail them out. We must support our farmers, but destroying their markets precipitates huge government subsidies then conservatives scream about the deficit. He's got them fooled coming and going.
If you need subsidies to run your business then get out. You don’t need a government to sell your products to other countries just like you don’t need permission from the government to buy products from other countries.
@@royby7941 In theory that sounds good but farmers would likely be going out of business regularly without price supports and land usage restrictions. They would likely return to actively farming 100% of their land to try to produce more to make up for falling commodity prices with profits spiraling downward. Many other countries (especially Europe) also have price supports complicating world markets. By far the farmers who accept government subsidies vote republican and decry government payments to anyone but themselves.
I absolutely know what you are saying is true. I live in a rural farming community. I will never understand why they support a guy who cut their throats last time, and he is telling them he will cut their hearts out this time.

The most important thing to understand about tariffs is that the country the tariff is imposed against does not pay the tariff. The importer in our country pays that tariff.
The Trump admin further crushed the small farming industry. Our government needs to step in and get these guys back up and running after years of sh*tty policy have made it near impossible for them to compete. Having competition in farming is good, healthier animals, better quality food, healthier people. This should be a HUGE unifying aim. The republicans just want to pay them a poverty monthly check for their awful tariffs and they’re the “less government” Party, please.
I have been a farmer, so I know what I am saying. Farmers think they are conservative and should vote that way because for so long they had to get by on very low margins. Farmers need to understand that the reason for government subsidies is to keep the farmers producing. It is not to help the farmer, the government could not care less about the individual. Politicians know the sure way to get beat in an election is to let food prices increase. Politicians will do whatever it takes to continue being elected. After I quit farming, I got a job. I could hardly believe I was making so much money while doing very little work. And the work was so easy. It would take a rather large farming operation to net $100,000 while farming. I was able to do that in 8 months with very little effort, as compared to farming. Farmers need to look at the alternatives, being a farmer is not God Ordained.
lmao why is that sad?they know he will do better for the american people then the frauds that are running this country now....truth hurts the blue....fact
I live in Wisconsin where farming is a big business and a family business. When I talk to farmers, they are voting for Trump, so the ones that would be most affected by tariffs are voting for him. Someone needs to explain why they are doing that. I don't understand why you would vote against your own interests after you have seen it once before. WOW.
Thanks for the video. I’m an educated person, but I didn’t understand exactly how tariffs were bad, although I sensed intuitively that they aren’t good (essentially a tax), if that makes sense.
Being a farmer, under Trump our energy costs were lower, our transportation costs were lower, our planting and harvesting costs were lower. Interest rates were lower. And the food and goods we bought were more affordable. As far as prices for our crops? Weather around the globe is a factor and it didn’t matter who was in office: government was a factor either with embargos or whatever handout they came up with to make you comply with their regulations.
Energy prices have come back down and interest rates are coming down with the stock market rising and the American economy doing better than any other major country in the world. So, yes these things are all cyclical and world events out of our control sometimes cause these changes. Both sides of the aisle give the farmers subsidies to keep our farmers in business and food supply secure. The difference is that Trump has destroyed some of our international farm products markets with his policies and tariffs so we have to subsidize farmers even more and that hurts us all.
The key issue is that if all manufacturing moves to China and all manufacturing workers in the United States lose their jobs, who will buy the cakes produced in Smith County?
@@DonMason-cv6og You also forgot about his incompetence during covid when 350,831 Americans died in the pandemic. And what was Trump's advice? Absolutely nothing! He said the virus would just disappear, that masks weren't necessary, and that you didn't have to get vaccinated. I know from personal experience that this isn't true. Oh, and he also said bleach would cure the virus 🤦♂️
Let's not get it twisted. The farmers were on board. I grew up on farmland, and they did it to themselves, believing in a reality TV host, you get what you get!
Farmers do not want a government handout yet they vote overwhelmingly Republican in the Midwest. Then line up for grain subsidies and complain about government policy. Maybe vote for a different person.
@gregstroh4614 Maybe grow something different. It is a simple rule of economics called the rule of supply and demand. And, like most of us in the steel industry, diversify and/or improve production. The tariffs you all are talking about saved DOMESTIC PRODUCERS. China and other countries "dumped" so much steel into our market, prices fell to a point where the foreign steel was cheaper than what our DOMESTIC PRODUCERS could MAKE IT. LET THAT SINK IN. How long would YOU be a farmer under those conditions. Tariffs imposed on foreign car producers influenced them to build factories here. Sure, profits go back to parent company 's home, but we still benefit with jobs and choice. That is a better deal than before. Our fathers before us competed against each other, today we compete with the world.
Im sorry you went through that. I have an uncle and two cousins in three states who are farmers. They all got help from Trump in office and are thriving today. They are very thankful to him.
Sadly folks had to learn the hard way following this nut. He’s ruined every business he’s been involved in yet folks that lost their farms will STILL vote for this fool. Thanks to this gentleman for speaking up !
Tariffs that are specifically targeted when in an unfairly unbalanced trade with another country are sometimes necessary and can elicit good results, but certainly not what djt is proposing. Pretty much it's guaranteed whatever he proposes is going to be detrimental to our country whether its economically, societally, or governmentally. VOTE BLUE!
Daily reminder that one of Trump’s former business professors at Wharton/ University of Pennsylvania (wherever he went) called Donnie “The dumbest GD student I ever taught” (his exact words)
Incorrect. If other countries are "dumping" their output in the USA, e.g. Chinese aluminum, the government should not impose a tariff. Rather, the government should actually buy all that product that is being sold below market value. This will result in a surplus of that product, so local makers will not be able to sell their own production. However, the work force that is no longer needed for local production can be shifted to producing other output. I.e. if the Chinese are "dumping" aluminum in the USA, that will allow the US producers who use the aluminum as an input to produce at a lower cost and also provide opportunities for production of new and different products. This is a much more beneficial solution than a tariff.
@@aheroictaxidriver3180 An honest inquiry who is producing and then selling that aluminum at below market? I understand the opportunities afforded if there is a "dumping" of a product as that would indicate cheaper prices. However, the scenario of producing new and different products would entail a revamping by current manufacturers or for new manufacturers to build an infrastructure as in a new facility to produce those new and different products which would entail a lot of time and money in both scenarios. In the meantime the unfair trade is still continuing for whatever time that it takes to revamp or build a new facility while the targeted tariff goes into immediate effect.
@@ashbeck1736 The time and money spent on new production plans and infrastructure would be the time and money saved by taking advantage of the "unfair" pricing. You're calling it "unfair" when some foreign government subsidizes production for export. This "unfairness" is actually a BENEFIT to the people buying the imports. The import location's government can immediately capture a good portion of the benefit of the foreign government's subsidy by buying up the cheap imports. The subsidy would be flowing from the foreign government to its exporters and then to the importers (via the local govt.).
I so wish that more people would understand this. I was still working as a import/export manager for a food and medical packaging manufacturer. When Trump enacted the tariffs and with the implementation of AFCMA replacing NAFTA, our exported goods into Canada and Mexico slowed because of the added Tariffs. Remember during Trumps time in office, lumber and plywood prices rose through the roof. They blamed the hurricanes for the reason, but the brunt of the increase was due to the fact that there is such a huge amount of lumber and plywood that is cut and milled and made into plywood in Canada. They were raising the prices in retaliation to the increase in Tariffs. The same with agriculture products and materials. The other part of tariffs is raising them does not deter American business from shifting the manufacturing of their products to China and other Countries, because as you said, they will just simply pass the added cost on to the American consumer. These higher tariffs have also impacted and contributed to the rise in inflation. Imagine what it will be like in Trump gets in office again.
At a rally in Iowa, which of course had a huge increase in farm fails, he told the rubes about gas prices of $5,6,7 a gallon, when they DROVE BY gas prices of about $2.60 a gallon.
The sad part of this story is that none of his followers are going to believe this and they are going to continue to believe every lie that comes out of his mouth.
I wish my dad and brother had this guy's insight. They're both farmers (technically my brother's a chemical engineer working a side gig on the family farm), but in our state people vote Republican. I was raised to believe Republicans were "the good guys" and the Democrats only cared about city folk. I didn't question that for a long time, but I also saw the good Obama did and was glad that things weren't so dire as my family made them out to be. And then I saw Trump, and regardless of party, I had no respect or positive expectation for him. When he became President, I just hoped that things wouldn't be as bad as they seemed like they would be. Obviously, it was pretty bad in hindsight... Trump showed me that my family beliefs were wrong. Republicans aren't "the good guys"'; it's more complicated than that. But they definitely aren't the friend to poor and working class people. My father and brother will never see that. They'll look back at their hardships and struggles to keep the farm going and never acknowledge that there might be a connection to Trump, or the Republican party. They're not dumb people. My brother especially, I'll never understand how someone so intelligent can be in such grave denial of reality. It's tough... I guess my point is that for a lot of Republican voters, it's a deeply held family value, and a lot of people are scared to question it. They're scared to check if what they believe is actually true, so they never look into it, ignore the news and politics, and... get all of their information from Fox, if even that. They don't need to question anything else because they have faith that Republicans are "the good guys". ...It's always been a cult. They just never had a leader before.
I'm a 9th generation (just that I'm aware of) farmer. I can tell you right now, that any farmer (or anyone else), who thinks voting for a political candidate is going to save them needs their head examined. The primary problem in American Ag isn't tarrifs, it isn't labor costs, it isn't transport costs, it isn't the cost of fertilizer and it's not even the cost of fuel. It's not even the fact that multi national corporations crush small farmers and are swallowing up Ag land. The REAL issue is excessive regulation - full stop. This is an equal issue in mining, petroleum production, timber and the manufacture of products and goods. Ultimately, producers in this country are strangled by what's basically an entire library of red tape in the guise of local, state, federal and sometimes even international regulations. If you don't believe it, try growing a garden and try selling a dozen jars of homemade salsa to your neighbors and call up the state Ag department and ask what you need to do to comply with any regulations. You'll soon be crushed by enough red tape that you will say, "I can't do this." And if you ignore the red tape, we live in a country that SWAT teams small farmers for producing and selling raw milk, butter, jelly, homemade bread and meat processed in a kitchen all in the name of "food safety". Meanwhile, feel free to go grab some Doritos, eat a block of margarine and all the toxic colored soda you like that will cut years off your life. The death of the family farm didn't start under Trump. It didn't even start under Biden or Obama or Clinton. It didn't even start back in the day when Willie Nelson was doing Farm Aid. It started about a century ago as government began to grow excessively in size and power. And it has continued ever since. To be clear, many farmers support Trump because 1.) The Democratic Party is the party of excessive and ever growing regulation, and 2.) Because Trump promised to scale back regulation and that is still a cornerstone of his platform. The problem with Trump in this case, is that the rubber doesn't meet the road. Even if Trump really means what he says on this subject, it doesn't change the fact that he's basically a preppy real estate developer from New York City and he's pretty much clueless about the full extent of the problem. Most small farmers who are switched on to the problem are basically now heavily anarchistic even if they consider themselves to be otherwise pretty conservative folks for the simple fact that they want government out of their business and out of their lives simply because they know that they really can't survive inside this so called right-left system. Most of them don't want tarrifs and most of them don't want subsidies, farm loans, grants or other "help". What they want is the government out of their way so they can back to farming.
You guys remember Trump's 25% tariffs on imported aluminum and steel in 2018? Well it caused the price of US aluminum and steel to shoot up overnight because they were handed a monopoly and knew the Europe's manufacturers couldn't compete. In response, the EU imposed a tariff on US made goods like Kentucky bourbon, Levi jeans, and Harley Davidson motorcycles. So now Harley is paying more for their steel to make the bikes, and is no longer competitive in Europe unless they want to sell every bike at a loss. So they do what anyone would do, pay to open up a new plant and move some of their production overseas so they can skirt the tariffs. Finally, upon news breaking that HD was moving jobs overseas, Trump went on TV and publicly slammed them for abandoning their American heritage, which soured a lot of Americans on the Harley name. Trump was too stupid to realize it was his own fault.
Every pperson in the country should see this viddeo on Trump tarrifs. The explanation is informative and plain speaking common sense on tariffs and effect on the farming community..
USA put trade tariffs on soft wood lumber. This not only hurt the lumber industry in Canada but the USA as well. Prices went on both sides of the border and companies went out of business. Trying to protect USA ended up hurting them
And yet, I saw huge trump signs in fields and pastures all along the interstate through Missouri last weekend. Rural farmers don't have a clue (if only they'll watch this video). God help us if he wins this election.
I am sure every word you said is true. However, most of those same farmers will go right out and vote against their own self interest by voting for Trump once again.
A tariff is a tax. You pay tax when you buy something. Not when you sell it. If an American company buys from China then the company pays the tax and if you buy from the American company you pay the tax in the form of higher prices.
Does everybody remember when trump put tariffs on steel and Harley Davidson moved production out of the USA?
That's a very real possibility for a number of industries. If a US company has enough business overseas that they can cut our US markets, they'll move and be done with the domestic markets.

Why did we have to pay $2 billion to help our farmers because of trump's tariffs if they're so great?
Which is, of course, Socialism, which they claim to hate.
30 billion a year in subsidies to farmers under Trump compared to 10 billion a year under Obama. A *20 billion* increase.
@theinsaneshecklador6598 not true!
@@TheInsaneSheckladorLiterally did not happen.
@@NarffetWerlz It literally did happen. Our farmers were devastated by Trump's trade policies. Exports to China dropped 10 billion from 2017-18. Google US farm subsidies by year and see for yourself. Subsidies skyrocketed under Trump.
Or you decide not to sell cakes in Smith County, and the people from Jones County decide not to sell there either because of the tariffs. Then the people in Smith County have fewer cake choices, plus the cake makers of Smith County could start overcharging because they know locals don't have any other options.
If you're not selling cakes in Smith County you're profits decline. You may try to go elsewhere but there may be more roadblocks such time and distance you have to pay for transportation of your cakes and that comes out of your money
Then the real truth comes out, which is Kraft/Heinz owns all of the bakeries, the tariffs were window dressing, and all consumers involved are being fleeced and gouged, and blaming presidents for it.

Tariffs level the market to protect our domestic producers. Right now, we are losing industries to other countries that are going to sell their products back here (JOHN DEERE) WHEN YOU DON'T BUY AMERICAN, BYE, BYE, AMERICA. NO JOBS, NO TAXES. NO TAXES NO COUNTRY. BUY, BUY, AMERICAN.
@@RonRinithe cost still doesn't go down for the consumer.
@_loss_ There aren't any tariffs on domestically produced products. If you do your homework, you will find that the tariffs will target specific products (AGAIN; EXAMPLE: JOHN DEERE). John Deere is moving to Mexico. They want to produce their machinery THERE. While keeping a minimal presence here, they want to sell their products here duty-free. It also keeps other countries from "dumping" their products here. I've worked in the steel industry for the last 43 years and have witnessed many instances of "dumping." Foriegn produced steel was dumped here in Trumps' first term. The steel was priced lower than what our domestic producers could make it. It was crippling our domestic producers. The USW BEGGED Trump for tariffs to level the playing field. He did, and it saved a lot of jobs. BOTTOM LINE is that we support our domestic producers the best we can with FAIR TRADE POLICIES, or we support their ex-employees with HIGHER taxes because of plant closings, and the drain on our social services. One way we collect taxes on people working. The other we spend taxes and watch ALL our domestic producers leave the US. Ain't freedom of choice great. BUY BUY AMERICAN, OR BY BY AMERICA. So, how do you want to support your fellow Americans?

If you're a Conservative, then you appreciate deregulation and free trade. Correct? Well tariffs are the exact opposite. That's one.
Tariffs are not by definition bad. If your country produces a (half)product of acceptable quality AND quantity AND for a reasonable price, and you want your citizens to buy those (half)products instead of imported alternatives ONLY THEN tarrifs might be a viable approach. But, you must be aware that other countries will not like you much, and will reserve the right to do the same to any of your exports.
And then you may get supply chain disruptions, cause u may not get the supplies u need, cause either the prices are too high or the country just won't sell the items to u, all because of tarriffs...in turn, this affects the economy, local and abroad...And people should be free to buy products from whatever country they choose, this is what keeps the economy going, the flow of goods, not more trade wars and increasing in prices back and forth, this can be damaging...

@@wayneessar7489 Absolutely correct, Trump helps them fail, then "is the only one" (another lie) who will bail them out.

If you need subsidies to run your business then get out. You don’t need a government to sell your products to other countries just like you don’t need permission from the government to buy products from other countries.
@@royby7941 In theory that sounds good but farmers would likely be going out of business regularly without price supports and land usage restrictions. They would likely return to actively farming 100% of their land to try to produce more to make up for falling commodity prices with profits spiraling downward. Many other countries (especially Europe) also have price supports complicating world markets. By far the farmers who accept government subsidies vote republican and decry government payments to anyone but themselves.

And tariffs not only act as tax, they are a tax that hurts the lower income people more than rich people, just like sales taxes and flat taxes do.
Wasn't the Farm Bill created to correct the Trump tariffs on China because it affected farmers in such a negative way?
Farm bill expired a year ago and republikkkans are blocking a new one to replace it
The most important thing to understand about tariffs is that the country the tariff is imposed against does not pay the tariff. The importer in our country pays that tariff.
The Trump admin further crushed the small farming industry. Our government needs to step in and get these guys back up and running after years of sh*tty policy have made it near impossible for them to compete. Having competition in farming is good, healthier animals, better quality food, healthier people. This should be a HUGE unifying aim. The republicans just want to pay them a poverty monthly check for their awful tariffs and they’re the “less government”
Party, please.
I have been a farmer, so I know what I am saying. Farmers think they are conservative and should vote that way because for so long they had to get by on very low margins. Farmers need to understand that the reason for government subsidies is to keep the farmers producing. It is not to help the farmer, the government could not care less about the individual. Politicians know the sure way to get beat in an election is to let food prices increase. Politicians will do whatever it takes to continue being elected. After I quit farming, I got a job. I could hardly believe I was making so much money while doing very little work. And the work was so easy. It would take a rather large farming operation to net $100,000 while farming. I was able to do that in 8 months with very little effort, as compared to farming. Farmers need to look at the alternatives, being a farmer is not God Ordained.
Well said!!! Vote 💙 all the way down!!!! 💙
First, you’re absolutely spot on. And You’re lucky. Your son listened and understood the message.
Trump thinks a tariff is a vig, he thinks these countries are going to hand him the tariff.
You are so right!

Sad thing is a lot of people will still vote for him.
lmao why is that sad?they know he will do better for the american people then the frauds that are running this country now....truth hurts the blue....fact
How right you are sir. Tariffs are a tax on the consumer. Not the manufacturer or maker who ships it back to the USA.
I live in Wisconsin where farming is a big business and a family business. When I talk to farmers, they are voting for Trump, so the ones that would be most affected by tariffs are voting for him. Someone needs to explain why they are doing that. I don't understand why you would vote against your own interests after you have seen it once before. WOW.
because what the blue is saying isnt true
Thanks for the video. I’m an educated person, but I didn’t understand exactly how tariffs were bad, although I sensed intuitively that they aren’t good (essentially a tax), if that makes sense.
Absolutely correct. I've been telling this story myself but it falls on deaf ears in our ranching community.

Being a farmer, under Trump our energy costs were lower, our transportation costs were lower, our planting and harvesting costs were lower. Interest rates were lower. And the food and goods we bought were more affordable. As far as prices for our crops? Weather around the globe is a factor and it didn’t matter who was in office: government was a factor either with embargos or whatever handout they came up with to make you comply with their regulations.
thank you kathy,well said,the truth hurts the blue
Energy prices have come back down and interest rates are coming down with the stock market rising and the American economy doing better than any other major country in the world. So, yes these things are all cyclical and world events out of our control sometimes cause these changes. Both sides of the aisle give the farmers subsidies to keep our farmers in business and food supply secure. The difference is that Trump has destroyed some of our international farm products markets with his policies and tariffs so we have to subsidize farmers even more and that hurts us all.
Yep, you sure nailed it, good one. Thank you, Strength And Love.
The key issue is that if all manufacturing moves to China and all manufacturing workers in the United States lose their jobs, who will buy the cakes produced in Smith County?
China is losing manufacturing to Vietnam because Chinese workers dared ask for better wages.
Manufacturers are building plants here in the US thanks to Biden. Manufacturing jobs have increased during his term as well.

Oh, and he also said bleach would cure the virus 🤦♂️

Let's not get it twisted. The farmers were on board. I grew up on farmland, and they did it to themselves, believing in a reality TV host, you get what you get!
In Germany there is a saying: They that do not want to listen have to feel it. And that inflation is going to be felt nationwide I am afraid.
Farmers do not want a government handout yet they vote overwhelmingly Republican in the Midwest. Then line up for grain subsidies and complain about government policy. Maybe vote for a different person.
@gregstroh4614 Maybe grow something different. It is a simple rule of economics called the rule of supply and demand. And, like most of us in the steel industry, diversify and/or improve production. The tariffs you all are talking about saved DOMESTIC PRODUCERS. China and other countries "dumped" so much steel into our market, prices fell to a point where the foreign steel was cheaper than what our DOMESTIC PRODUCERS could MAKE IT. LET THAT SINK IN. How long would YOU be a farmer under those conditions. Tariffs imposed on foreign car producers influenced them to build factories here. Sure, profits go back to parent company 's home, but we still benefit with jobs and choice. That is a better deal than before. Our fathers before us competed against each other, today we compete with the world.
Thank you, Sir! Same here !!
Im sorry you went through that. I have an uncle and two cousins in three states who are farmers. They all got help from Trump in office and are thriving today. They are very thankful to him.

Tariffs have their place. But what Trump is talking about is not it
Sadly folks had to learn the hard way following this nut. He’s ruined every business he’s been involved in yet folks that lost their farms will STILL vote for this fool. Thanks to this gentleman for speaking up !
Tariffs that are specifically targeted when in an unfairly unbalanced trade with another country are sometimes necessary and can elicit good results, but certainly not what djt is proposing. Pretty much it's guaranteed whatever he proposes is going to be detrimental to our country whether its economically, societally, or governmentally. VOTE BLUE!
Daily reminder that one of Trump’s former business professors at Wharton/ University of Pennsylvania (wherever he went) called Donnie “The dumbest GD student I ever taught” (his exact words)
@@sawtooth808 I remember reading that and MAGA will say "fake news." It's become really absurd.
Incorrect. If other countries are "dumping" their output in the USA, e.g. Chinese aluminum, the government should not impose a tariff. Rather, the government should actually buy all that product that is being sold below market value. This will result in a surplus of that product, so local makers will not be able to sell their own production. However, the work force that is no longer needed for local production can be shifted to producing other output. I.e. if the Chinese are "dumping" aluminum in the USA, that will allow the US producers who use the aluminum as an input to produce at a lower cost and also provide opportunities for production of new and different products. This is a much more beneficial solution than a tariff.
@@aheroictaxidriver3180 An honest inquiry who is producing and then selling that aluminum at below market? I understand the opportunities afforded if there is a "dumping" of a product as that would indicate cheaper prices. However, the scenario of producing new and different products would entail a revamping by current manufacturers or for new manufacturers to build an infrastructure as in a new facility to produce those new and different products which would entail a lot of time and money in both scenarios. In the meantime the unfair trade is still continuing for whatever time that it takes to revamp or build a new facility while the targeted tariff goes into immediate effect.
@@ashbeck1736 The time and money spent on new production plans and infrastructure would be the time and money saved by taking advantage of the "unfair" pricing. You're calling it "unfair" when some foreign government subsidizes production for export. This "unfairness" is actually a BENEFIT to the people buying the imports. The import location's government can immediately capture a good portion of the benefit of the foreign government's subsidy by buying up the cheap imports. The subsidy would be flowing from the foreign government to its exporters and then to the importers (via the local govt.).

Farmers around me love trump. Maybe you should stop blaming other ppl for being a lousy farmer
You said this so well
Thank you. More folks need to know this
I so wish that more people would understand this. I was still working as a import/export manager for a food and medical packaging manufacturer. When Trump enacted the tariffs and with the implementation of AFCMA replacing NAFTA, our exported goods into Canada and Mexico slowed because of the added Tariffs. Remember during Trumps time in office, lumber and plywood prices rose through the roof. They blamed the hurricanes for the reason, but the brunt of the increase was due to the fact that there is such a huge amount of lumber and plywood that is cut and milled and made into plywood in Canada. They were raising the prices in retaliation to the increase in Tariffs. The same with agriculture products and materials. The other part of tariffs is raising them does not deter American business from shifting the manufacturing of their products to China and other Countries, because as you said, they will just simply pass the added cost on to the American consumer. These higher tariffs have also impacted and contributed to the rise in inflation. Imagine what it will be like in Trump gets in office again.
At a rally in Iowa, which of course had a huge increase in farm fails, he told the rubes about gas prices of $5,6,7 a gallon, when they DROVE BY gas prices of about $2.60 a gallon.
Yep, he lies and they believe!
Farmers are the greatest assets our country has.
I live in a farming area and all the farmers and ranchers want Trump.

Tariffs create inflation
I wish my dad and brother had this guy's insight. They're both farmers (technically my brother's a chemical engineer working a side gig on the family farm), but in our state people vote Republican. I was raised to believe Republicans were "the good guys" and the Democrats only cared about city folk. I didn't question that for a long time, but I also saw the good Obama did and was glad that things weren't so dire as my family made them out to be. And then I saw Trump, and regardless of party, I had no respect or positive expectation for him. When he became President, I just hoped that things wouldn't be as bad as they seemed like they would be.
Obviously, it was pretty bad in hindsight... Trump showed me that my family beliefs were wrong. Republicans aren't "the good guys"'; it's more complicated than that. But they definitely aren't the friend to poor and working class people. My father and brother will never see that. They'll look back at their hardships and struggles to keep the farm going and never acknowledge that there might be a connection to Trump, or the Republican party. They're not dumb people. My brother especially, I'll never understand how someone so intelligent can be in such grave denial of reality. It's tough...
I guess my point is that for a lot of Republican voters, it's a deeply held family value, and a lot of people are scared to question it. They're scared to check if what they believe is actually true, so they never look into it, ignore the news and politics, and... get all of their information from Fox, if even that. They don't need to question anything else because they have faith that Republicans are "the good guys". ...It's always been a cult. They just never had a leader before.
Vic you're the man. Love ya brother. Keep educating people
I'm a 9th generation (just that I'm aware of) farmer. I can tell you right now, that any farmer (or anyone else), who thinks voting for a political candidate is going to save them needs their head examined. The primary problem in American Ag isn't tarrifs, it isn't labor costs, it isn't transport costs, it isn't the cost of fertilizer and it's not even the cost of fuel. It's not even the fact that multi national corporations crush small farmers and are swallowing up Ag land. The REAL issue is excessive regulation - full stop. This is an equal issue in mining, petroleum production, timber and the manufacture of products and goods. Ultimately, producers in this country are strangled by what's basically an entire library of red tape in the guise of local, state, federal and sometimes even international regulations. If you don't believe it, try growing a garden and try selling a dozen jars of homemade salsa to your neighbors and call up the state Ag department and ask what you need to do to comply with any regulations. You'll soon be crushed by enough red tape that you will say, "I can't do this." And if you ignore the red tape, we live in a country that SWAT teams small farmers for producing and selling raw milk, butter, jelly, homemade bread and meat processed in a kitchen all in the name of "food safety". Meanwhile, feel free to go grab some Doritos, eat a block of margarine and all the toxic colored soda you like that will cut years off your life. The death of the family farm didn't start under Trump. It didn't even start under Biden or Obama or Clinton. It didn't even start back in the day when Willie Nelson was doing Farm Aid. It started about a century ago as government began to grow excessively in size and power. And it has continued ever since. To be clear, many farmers support Trump because 1.) The Democratic Party is the party of excessive and ever growing regulation, and 2.) Because Trump promised to scale back regulation and that is still a cornerstone of his platform. The problem with Trump in this case, is that the rubber doesn't meet the road. Even if Trump really means what he says on this subject, it doesn't change the fact that he's basically a preppy real estate developer from New York City and he's pretty much clueless about the full extent of the problem. Most small farmers who are switched on to the problem are basically now heavily anarchistic even if they consider themselves to be otherwise pretty conservative folks for the simple fact that they want government out of their business and out of their lives simply because they know that they really can't survive inside this so called right-left system. Most of them don't want tarrifs and most of them don't want subsidies, farm loans, grants or other "help". What they want is the government out of their way so they can back to farming.
You guys remember Trump's 25% tariffs on imported aluminum and steel in 2018? Well it caused the price of US aluminum and steel to shoot up overnight because they were handed a monopoly and knew the Europe's manufacturers couldn't compete. In response, the EU imposed a tariff on US made goods like Kentucky bourbon, Levi jeans, and Harley Davidson motorcycles. So now Harley is paying more for their steel to make the bikes, and is no longer competitive in Europe unless they want to sell every bike at a loss. So they do what anyone would do, pay to open up a new plant and move some of their production overseas so they can skirt the tariffs. Finally, upon news breaking that HD was moving jobs overseas, Trump went on TV and publicly slammed them for abandoning their American heritage, which soured a lot of Americans on the Harley name. Trump was too stupid to realize it was his own fault.
Every pperson in the country should see this viddeo on Trump tarrifs. The explanation is informative and plain speaking common sense on tariffs and effect on the farming community..
USA put trade tariffs on soft wood lumber. This not only hurt the lumber industry in Canada but the USA as well. Prices went on both sides of the border and companies went out of business. Trying to protect USA ended up hurting them
And yet, I saw huge trump signs in fields and pastures all along the interstate through Missouri last weekend. Rural farmers don't have a clue (if only they'll watch this video). God help us if he wins this election.
Right on bro
Honestly this guy gave me a better explanation on tarrifs than most news broadcasters ever did.
Billionaire farmers got $92bn in “bailouts.” These bailouts didn’t roll down to the non-corporate farmers.
I am sure every word you said is true. However, most of those same farmers will go right out and vote against their own self interest by voting for Trump once again.
A tariff is a tax. You pay tax when you buy something. Not when you sell it. If an American company buys from China then the company pays the tax and if you buy from the American company you pay the tax in the form of higher prices.
Follow the rest of the money. When a farmer goes bankrupt, who buys up the land?
ABSOLUTELY
Thank you, kind sir for explaining this.
We pay the tariff
Tariffs is taxing your own people. It's not hard to understand.
