While he hasn’t yet expounded on what trade deal he reached with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump bragged on Monday morning that farmer will be the main beneficiaries of the deal.
“Farmers, I LOVE YOU!” he tweeted.
My meeting in Argentina with President Xi of China was an extraordinary one. Relations with China have taken a BIG leap forward! Very good things will happen. We are dealing from great strength, but China likewise has much to gain if and when a deal is completed. Level the field!

Farmers will be a a very BIG and FAST beneficiary of our deal with China. They intend to start purchasing agricultural product immediately. We make the finest and cleanest product in the World, and that is what China wants. Farmers, I LOVE YOU!

Idjit.
Well, they better sow some grain fast, then…
Bullshit. Farmers – even those idiotic enough to still support Trump – know damned well that China has signed multi-year contracts to import soybeans from other countries. And other agricultural commodities are already being bought from elsewhere.
(In other words, this is yet another Trump lie. Everything Trump says is a lie.)
Well he certainly leveled the farmers’ fields.
There are more than 200 acres of soybean sitting rotting in a field just down the road from me. The farmer cannot harvest it because the grain elevators are all full and he has nowhere to put it if he does. The grain elevators are all full because there are no buyers. Lardass doesn’t seem to realize that farming isn’t something that is FAST. I live in Maryland, BTW, so this assumption that all farms are in the Midwest, Trumpworld, needs to be challenged.
