    Let’s just look at some facts about beans.

    Soybeans is the largest export from USA to China. USA is China’s second largest source of soybean imports. China has officially decided to put fingers in both ears in regards to Trump’s flip flopping on tariffs. Trump has no power over China’s domestic tariffs

    Well. I don’t know what soybean farmers want from Trump, because there’s nothing he can do to fix the thing he broke.

    Eh, we could always buy the extra soybeans to feed hungry people here and abroad through the many welfare programs that… definitely still exist… right?

      Do you have any idea how hard it is to get the average person to lean into soy?

      In fact, the alt-right have been using it as an insult since 2012 exactly because of its public image

      There won’t be more tariffs, it’ll be an additional permanent loss of the Chinese market.

      Farmers are permanently fucking themselves over.
