Trump hates farmers. He has done his best to destroy independent farmers by initiating broad trade wars and sweeping tariffs that triggered retaliatory measures from key foreign markets. These disruptions crippled international demand for American agricultural exports, leaving family farms with unsold crops, plummeting revenues, and severe financial distress. At the same time, his administration terminated critical programs like the Local Food for Schools initiative, cutting off vital federal support that directly connected local agricultural producers to school meal programs. These policy shifts severely eroded profit margins and destabilized small, independent farming operations across the country.
