Did you see the question mark, dummy? How about this admission? - D Austin says Trump can declare himself the winner before elections are held. Since you're online, let me ask you .... do you have to flush 10-15 times like Widdle Donnie does? Wasn't it ridiculous for him to admit he has to flush so many times out of frustration? Do you wanna bet Russian intelligence has video of him screaming in frustration as he tries to flush his crap? Look at this video ... you can see he's wearing depnds under a pair of tight jeans: twitter.com In that video, why does HE need an umbrella but Melania doesn't? There are many videos of him using an umbrella while his family member do without. Clearly he;s afraid of getting his hair wet. He has even blown off visits to cemetaries due to rain. What a PUSSY!

Donald Trump suddenly goes running to Putin as impeachment threatens to swallow him whole Bill Palmer \| 9:09 am EST December 7, 2019 Palmer Report » Analysis We still don’t know how the impeachment process will play out against Donald Trump – but we know that Nancy Pelosi isn’t messing around, and she’s far smarter and savvier than he is. Trump has announced that he won’t even bother participating in the next phase of the House impeachment process. Instead he’s running into the arms of a familiar face. That’s right, Trump is running to Vladimir Putin for help. Putin’s right hand man Sergei Lavrov is visiting the White House this upcoming week so he can meet with Trump’s own corrupt right hand man, Mike Pompeo, according to the Washington Post. The meeting is obviously nothing more than an opportunity for Putin to pass instructions to Trump in a manner that can’t be electronically traced, and it’s obviously a sign that Trump is at the end of his rope when it comes to his Ukraine extortion scandal. Notably, this meeting is suddenly happening right after Donald Trump figured out that House impeachment investigators can get to his cellphone records, after they did the same to Rudy Giuliani. It’s not difficult to parse that Trump is now afraid to simply pull out his personal cellphone and call whichever Putin intermediary he might be using this week. Any such calls have been unsecured all along, but Trump only appears to be finally figuring this out now. In any case, the specter of Donald Trump inviting the Kremlin into the White House, at a time when Trump is being impeached over his Ukraine scandal that was aimed at helping the Kremlin, makes for terrible optics. It’s clear that Trump is far past the point of caring about appearances. When you’re this desperate and you’re running out of options, your last ditch antics tend to make you look even more guilty.

Land O’ Lakes CEO: Trump’s Trade War Is Shutting Down Generational Family Farms

by Andrew Wagner
Oct 9

Land O’ Lakes CEO stated trade war will cause farmers to lose farms that they've had in their families for generations.

Beth Ford, CEO of Land O’ Lakes, recently stated that President Donald Trump’s trade war will cause U.S. farmers to “lose farms that they've had in their families for generations," according to Newsweek.

Ford heads one of the country’s largest farmer and retail-member-owned cooperatives and represents thousands of landowners and agricultural producers. These groups have suffered due to a combination of Chinese tariffs and record-setting floods in the spring. Trump’s tariffs have cost American soybean farmers their Chinese market and resulted in prices for corn dropping more than 10 percent, now selling at only $9 a bushel.

On a recent CBS 60 Minutes report, Ford stated, “That’s a very low price. That means many farmers are losing money.” She went on to say, “More frustration is present because a number of people are going to lose their businesses. They're gonna lose farms that they've had in their families for generations."

The average farm income in 2017 was $43,000. As a result of the tariffs, in 2018 the median farm income was -$1500. These losses pushed bankruptcies in farm states to the highest level in a decade, mainly in farm states across the Midwest, which sell half of U.S. farm products.

Trump responded to the 60 Minutes episode with a tweet claiming that U.S. farmers were subsidized with $28 billion, paid for by the tariffs on Chinese imports. However, the increase in bankruptcies and concerns voiced by the Minnesota Farmers Union show that the subsidies were not nearly enough to cover farmers’ total losses.

U.S. farmers have been hit hard by President Donald Trump’s trade war and many are at risk of losing, or have already lost, their farms regardless of government subsidizing efforts.
