You can't make this shit up. Scott Bessent claims that he too is a "soybean farmer" ...

Trump Treasury Sec. Bessent says he’s felt ‘pain’ from China because he’s a ‘soybean farmer’ (CNBC)

This asshole has around 1% to 4% of his portfolio owning farm land in North Dakota that is leased out to soybean and corn farmers. All he does is collect rent money from actual farmers. He doesn't farm anything himself, and even if the renters are suffering, he'll still be legally entitled to rent.

And even if the farmers go bankrupt, he'll still be in possession of the land, which he could potentially write off as a small loss.

Yet the heartland still wants to vote for Trump? I say they deserve everything that happens to them. I only feel sorry for those who didn't vote for Trump but got overruled by their Trump-supporting neighbors.
