    I couldn't find my previous comment regarding this topic but I called this a little over a week ago. The Trump admin will provide bailouts to their base that they are hurting so they don't lose support during midterms.

    Then it will be branded that if you don't support bailing out Trump's base, you hate America or hate farmers or whatever causes the most division.

    Democrats will need to be strong in their messaging that these bailouts are needed due to the ineptitude of Trump and his failing trade war. Where the farmers would be doing fine without the trade war and that money could have been redirected towards infrastructure projects or something with high support for tax dollars spending (just not the military please)

    Conveniently in time for November elections. I'm not surprised at all since farmers were starting to get angry that they are getting hit hard and were blaming Trump.

    The things that is getting to me with this whole trade issue is, the US is going to become a pariah. All of these Trump supporters are saying, "Trump is making everyone pay their fair share!" But a part of what America got from giving the deals it had was good faith and a good standing... It helped our relationship with other countries. So it might not seem fair to a l lot of people and they can look at it like we took the lesser of the deal in some cases, but we got something for it..
