But the fact that several farmers showed HuffPost data that they say ties the price drops to Trump’s tariffs reflects that their dissatisfaction with him is real, if subtle. “The numbers don’t lie. President Trump’s tariffs are putting the livelihood of thousands of hardworking farmers across the heartland at risk,” said Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.), who represents the district where these farmers live. “During his campaign, President Trump promised he’d ‘end this war on the American farmer,’” she said. “I just wish he’d actually do it because right now all we’re seeing is a trade war that gets worse from one tweet to the next.” Brian Duncan, vice president of the Illinois Farm Bureau, speculated that farmers are willing to give Trump some time to fix the situation because he’s done things that have helped them, like tax reform and loosening regulations. Patience may be wearing thin, though. “He put some change in his pocket with farmers. Now he’s pulling that change back out pretty hard on tariffs,” Duncan said. “There’s a sense of growing frustration. It’s becoming more and more evident each day that this is not going to be rapidly resolved.”
