His policies and his second go around have been absolutely catastrophic to American farmers, to the point where there are record bankruptcies of American farms all over the country due to Trump's economic and tariff policies, as well as his gutting of foreign aid. And while all that's happening and while all of his supporters have asked for help, here's how he responds.

r life. Nothing's benefiting [:You understand what that means? They have no money, they have no anything. They're fighting so hard to survive. If I can help them survive in a free world, I happen to like the president of Argentina, I think he's trying to do the best. She can, but don't make it sound like they're doing good. They're dying.

There are a few sandwiches short of a picnic because even after he nearly bankrupted them the first time around. They've decided to hitch their wagon to 'em again. That tells you everything that you need to know about this community. They don't learn, and the only thing that they're concerned about is that brown people and black people are worse off than them.
Their votes and their actions tell you exactly where they are.
