What you're saying is so limited in thought.

No President can destroy an economy or "the family farm" in 8 months. I live in Wisconsin and I can tell you that the number of family farms have been steadily decreasing for 50+ years. Equipment prices, taxes, crop failures and general overhead have all played a role in the demise of the small farmer. For those reasons and more we've experienced the rise of the corporate farm because they can absorb the costs associated with large scale farming. We have 6+ billion mouths to feed on this planet so things have changed. Things have changed in other industries as well. The result is consolidation, job losses and in some cases virtually complete elimination. Is that Trump's fault too? My career drastically changed with the advent of $5.00 trades. Was that Trump's fault?

You want to blame a current president for every negative thing that in reality is just part of the evolutionary process of business. You're probably one of those white apologists that thinks we should pay reparations to black people for a terrible thing (slavery) that people today had absolutely nothing to do with. We could hand a check to every black American and it would do no good. What of the next generation of black people? Don't you think they'll want compensation too? When does it end? And what of the 500,000 soldiers that died in a war that, in part, was fought for the end to slavery? What of the countries that rounded up their people and sold them off as slaves? Where is their responsibility? We can't right every wrong that happened in human history. We can't fix the sins of yesterday by using the value lens of today.

The only constant is change - it's called progress and evolution. It's advancement and it leaves some people and industries behind.

That's the best I can tell you so don't even bother to reply because I'm not going to jerk off all day to argue the point.
