Thread: President Donald Trump

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/new...ectid=12258610


Trump has repeated the same lie that he created the 'choice of veterans' program over 80 times and even used it to attack McCain over failing to deliver on it at one point.

Except it was passed during Obama's administration and McCain was a co-sponsor.

However I bet if you ask a Trump supporter they'll tell you it was him.

The Average U.S. Farm Is $1,300,000 In Debt, And Now The Worst Farming Crisis In Modern History Is Upon Us

We haven’t seen anything like this since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Leading up to this year, farm incomes had been trending lower for most of the past decade, and meanwhile farm debt levels have been absolutely exploding. So U.S. farmers were desperate for a really good year, but instead 2019 has been a total disaster. As I have been carefully documenting, due to endless rain and catastrophic flooding millions of acres of prime farmland didn’t get planted at all this year, and the yields on tens of millions of other acres are expected to be way, way below normal. As a result, we are facing the worst farming crisis in modern American history, and this comes at a time when U.S. farms are drowning in more debt than ever before. In fact, the latest numbers that we have show that the average U.S. farm is 1.3 million dollars in debt…

Debt-to-asset ratios are seeing the same squeeze, with more farms moving into a ratio exceeding 80%. Barrett notes each year since 2009 has seen an increase in the average amount of total debt among farmers, and 2017 was no exception. Average debt rose 10% to $1.3 million. The biggest increase was in long-term debt, such as land.
Farming in the 21st century has become an extraordinarily risky business, and countless U.S. farmers were already on the verge of going under even before we got to 2019.

Now that this year has been such a complete and utter disaster, many farms will not be able to operate once we get to 2020.

Minnesota farmers Liz and Bob Krocak were hoping for better days ahead as this year began, but things have been really tough and their debts have become overwhelming. During a recent meeting with their creditors, Liz was so distraught that she literally burst into tears…

They had to face their creditors at a mediation. There was Del, the mechanic, whom they owe $28,000 and who now can’t help his son buy a home. There was Steve, the feed store guy, who is 64 and has delayed his retirement because of the Krocaks’ $311,000 bill.

Liz recalled the mediator opening the meeting by saying, “This is going to be an emotional day. I can see everybody really likes this family.” Liz had burst into tears then – and she was crying again now, describing the scene seven months later.

“We just hope there’s a farm left at the end of it,” she said.

In total, the Krocaks just happen to be 1.3 million dollars in debt.

At this point, there isn’t a prayer that all of that debt will ever be paid off. All they can really hope for is more patience from their creditors, because without it the farm is going under.

The Krocaks recently received a check for about 12,000 dollars from the federal government, and they are very grateful for the money, but the truth is that it isn’t even going to make a dent in their 1.3 million dollar debt.

If the horrific weather and endless flooding wasn’t enough, about a week ago the Chinese government announced that they would be ending all “purchases of U.S. agricultural products”, and that was a devastating blow for farmers all over the nation.

In particular, soybean farmers are going to see demand for their crops absolutely collapse. In recent years, China has purchased approximately 60 percent of all U.S. soybean exports.

And even if a trade deal is eventually reached, it is unlikely that all of that demand is ever going to come back. Right now, the Chinese are spending enormous amounts of money “to build transportation infrastructure to ship soybeans grown in what used to be rain forests” in Brazil. They aren’t going to abandon all of that just because Trump suddenly changes his mind.

And the truth is that it is extremely unlikely that Trump will change his mind and cave in to the Chinese.

So for the foreseeable future, U.S. farmers are going to be facing weaker markets and lower prices, and that is going to be the final straw for many of them.

Have you ever been at a point in your life where you have endured problem after problem and then one day a final crushing blow comes along that takes away the last shred of hope that you were holding on to? That is precisely what has happened to farmers like Bob Kuylen of North Dakota…

“It’s really, really getting bad out here,” said Bob Kuylen, who’s farmed for 35 years in North Dakota.

“Trump is ruining our markets. No one is buying our product no more, and we have no markets no more.”
We keep hearing about “government bailouts”, but they aren’t going to be nearly big enough for most farmers. Kuylen has worked as hard as he possibly could, but he was not able to overcome the challenges he was facing, and now he is facing financial disaster. He would walk away, but he says he can’t because “I’ve invested everything I have in farming”…

Kuylen, who farms roughly 1,500 acres of wheat and sunflowers, lost $70 per acre this year, despite growing good crops. Current government subsidies only cover about $15 per acre, he said.

“There’s no incentive to keep farming, except that I’ve invested everything I have in farming, and it’s hard to walk away,” he said.
It would be nice to think that all of these farmers will somehow bounce back next year, but that isn’t likely. It is very doubtful that there will be any sort of a trade agreement with China before the 2020 presidential election, and global weather patterns are not going to be getting any more stable. Sadly, it is entirely possible that next year could be even tougher for U.S. farmers than this year was.

So please say a prayer for our farmers. They grow the food that we all eat on a daily basis, and their hard work is rarely recognized on a national basis. They are unsung heroes, and right now most of them are really, really hurting.

The Average U.S. Farm Is $1,300,000 In Debt, And Now The Worst Farming Crisis In Modern History Is Upon Us ? End Of The American Dream

"right now most of them are really really hurting"
I wonder how many of them and their family and friends voted for Trump.

Love the video btw.

Good morning Democratic plebs .

So my mate The Donald held an awesome rally in New Hampshire , the joint was ramed full with the Party faithful.

My love for The Donald runs deep because he does not fook around when confronted by his enemies, he goes fookin hard and treats them all equally with utter contempt.

Very much like myself.

I pissed blood with laughter when the Donald tore Omar and Tlaib a new front bottom, awesome work in the art of koontishness and a winners move.

These Nasty arsed bitches are now banned from Israel and they can only blame themselves considering their hatred against the Cuntry.

The Donald don't fook around when confronted with a '" Check Mate " move eh fukos. Brilliant move wannit.

Anyway shitstains, you lot have a lovely day eh.

Cheers bitches.

So I see baldy orange cunto has fucked the economy and as usual is trying to pin the blame on someone else.

Stoopid trumpanzees don't know though, they're as thick as shit.

The POTUS has to be a real Superman to think about all the wars, (the real ones and the trade ones either), human rights, immigration, unemployment rates, sex offenders, riots in HK, welfare of the poor people in Venezuela, weapon deliveries, sanctions, love letters to NK, travel ban of Congresswomen to Israel, helping with Brexit, and much more.

And all his staff awaiting eagerly and submissively his ideas how to manage the world...

Oh yes, for the money and glory he can take the blame, who else?

So Tony got the arse out of the White House by The Donald and has now decided to spill a ton of his bile slagging The Donald off.

The fuk wits who hate Donald are now on side with Tony where as when Tony was working for Donald they hated the Coont.

Ya gota larf dont cha fukos.

Yea, the Donald definitely pissin' everyone off and alienating support across the board he is...

Trump gets surprise Log Cabin Republicans endorsement
Yahoo NewsDYLAN STABLEFORD ANDCHRISTOPHER WILSONAug 16th 2019 4:50PM

Welcome to 2020 Vision, the Yahoo News column covering the presidential race. Reminder: There are 171 days until the Iowa caucuses and 445 days until the 2020 presidential election.

Log Cabin Republicans back Trump

During the 2016 election, Log Cabin Republicans, the conservative LGBT organization, declined to endorse Donald Trump for president, even after Trump's vow, at the Republican convention, to “do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens from violence and oppression.”

Since taking office, Trump and his administration have effectively rolled back rights for the LGBT community, reinstating a ban on transgender troops from serving in the U.S. military; reversing departmental protections against discrimination against transgender people; banning the flying of pride flags at U.S. embassies; and siding with a Colorado baker who refused to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple.

This month, the Department of Labor promulgated a draft rule that would allow government contractors to discriminate against LGBT employees on religious grounds.
That's why it was a surprise on Friday when the group — which normally waits until after the conventions to endorse a candidate — announced its endorsement of Trump's reelection bid.

In an op-ed for the Washington Post, Log Cabin Republicans chairman Robert Kabel and vice chair Jill Homan credited Trump with "removing gay rights as a wedge issue from the old Republican playbook" and "taking bold actions that benefit the LGBTQ community."

"He has committed to end the spread of HIV/AIDS in 10 years, through the use of proven science, medicine and technology to which we now have access," they wrote. "Trump has used the United States’ outsize global influence to persuade other nations to adopt modern human rights standards, including launching an initiative to end the criminalization of homosexuality."

"While we do not agree with every policy or platform position presented by the White House or the Republican Party," they added, "we share a commitment to individual responsibility, personal freedom and a strong national defense."

Trump has courted the support of evangelical leaders such as Franklin Graham, John Hagee and Jerry Falwell Jr., who stridently denounce homosexuality as a sin. He appointed Falwell to a task force on education policy.

At your clear lack of intelligence? Most definitely.

This is so baldy orange cunto:

- Workers being forced to attend baldy orange cunto spouting his usual shit
- Workers being told they were not allowed to protest
- Baldy orange cunto claiming credit for a project that dated back to Obama.

Thick as shit, but the trumpanzees will swallow it.

I don't know anything of the sort and you and your fellow trumpanzee moron buddies have even less a clue than I do. I do know that trump lost the popular vote in '96 and that he will lose that again in 2020.

According to a few things I've read today he's nervous about a possible recession and is already covering his arse blaming the fake media for creating it.

Or, presented another way - There is a 70% chance of not having a recession in the next year.

The Dem fools are clutching at two straws.

The first straw was impeachment but unfortunately their girlfriend Mueller shot that one down.

The second straw is that if we have a recession the Septic public will turn against Donald and fuk him orf.

Will never happen shit stains, your only hope is an assassin.

And knowing how utterly fuked up Merica is that is a distinct possibility.

But interesting that baldy orange cunto is already covering his arse by saying if there is a recession it's the fake medias fault.
Meanwhile the agri sector is going down the tubes because of that stupid fat cunts complete ignorance combined with the flooding of the last year.
Did he really not think China would retaliate against the latest tarriffs?
Meanwhile moron trumpanzees think China is paying the tarriffs.
Now China has gone elsewhere for their groceries.
In a year the US will be on it's knees begging Beijing to buy their produce at any price.
It'll sure give post Brexit Britain some bargaining power.

Long term economic consequences from his policies are pretty grim. The guy has no clue what he is doing, nor does he care.

When citizens are deemed terrorists in their own country for publicly opposing fascism or fascists, as Trump and a handful of Republican senators are now considering legislating into law, you know that the US is a full blown fascist state that is trying desperately to protect itself. It's the Weimarer Republik all over again.
