Donald Trump made a rather stunning and unconstitutional admission while he was sitting next to the president of Turkey, Erdogan, on Thursday. Donald Trump just sort of blurted out, you know, with all of this tariff money that we're bringing in. Okay. What we're going to have to do now is we're going to have to bail out all of the farmers right now. That's what we're going to do. Just listen to what he said here. Here, play this clip.
We want to take our money. We're doing well because of tariffs. We're doing unbelievable. We're making more money than we ever have made. And by the way, we're going to take some of that tariff money that we made just to get off the subject for a second. We're going to take some of that tariff money that we made. We're going to give it to our farmers who are...
for a little while going to be hurt until it kicks in the tariffs kick into their benefit so we're going to make sure that our farmers are in great shape because we're taking in a lot of money that's the definition of a ponzi scheme right there the tariffs are literally what is hurting the farmers as there's retaliation by countries like china and elsewhere and as they're looking towards brazil but donald trump is so focused on delivering a TikTok subsidiary for his rich oligarch friends in the United States that he's basically given up legitimate trade objectives with China. And now our farmers are going bankrupt. So now they're going to get a bailout. And also Argentina is getting a bailout. While American hospitals are being shut down, health care is being ripped away from Americans.
Groceries are less affordable right now. Donald Trump's approval is absolutely plummeting, by the way. More on that in a moment. But here's Donald Trump's agriculture secretary, Brooke Rollins. Here's what she's got to say about how farmers are having what's going through farmers' minds right now. Let's play this.
That alongside, of course, the president's effort to realign America around American products and making all of these new deals, we are at a point where we're looking at the harvest, where we're looking at our soybean, corn, wheat, sorghum, cotton farmers who are facing very, very difficult times. We are currently in conversations here at the White House across the government on a farmer aid package. In our current programming right now, we've got about $13 billion moving out.
And of course, we've got to bail out Argentina. Nothing says American first like bailing out Javier Millet of Argentina, their libertarian president who Trump and Musk said he was going to be so good for Argentina.
What did Ben Meiselas report about Trump’s tariffs and farmer bailouts?
Apparently, they're about to go bankrupt and at least $20 billion of our taxpayer dollars are now going to Argentina. What?
play this clip has done very careful math about and so anybody who thinks that they can cause a panic in argentine markets understand it has to understand that the us is going to be a firm backstop to that it's not that we're trying to put our finger on the scales of an election we're trying to just make sure that market manipulators don't influence the election so should we have a confidence then that the us will support argentina Yes, the U.S. 100% will support Argentina and, of course, support the will of the voters. But again, there have been times where there are people who do things like they call them naked short attacks and so on, where market turmoil can be created ahead of an election by people who like maybe...
And then this delusional, bizarro Fox World, Maria Bartiromo and Kevin Hassett pontificate about how there's actually no inflation right now and everything is going great.
