Trade War Fallout: Farmers Face Collapse Amid Whiskey Export Losses

Short Summary

  • Farm operating costs are cited as "astronomical," potentially leading to the disappearance of 25–30% of US farms.
  • Taxpayers previously covered a substantial $25 billion bailout for farmers impacted by the preceding trade war.
  • Distilleries suffered $500 million in losses because trade disputes caused Canada to cease buying American whiskey.

This segment analyzes the immediate economic damage caused by specific trade policies, focusing sharply on the plight of Midwestern farmers and the resulting inventory crises for US distillers, contrasting their business reality with their continued political alignment.

Description

‘Stuck on Stupid’ Trump Wrecks The Economy: Farmers On the Brink, $500M In Whiskey Rots Farmers say costs are “astronomical” and many “can’t make this deal work” under Trump’s economy. Producers warn 25–30% of farms could disappear if nothing changes. His trade war left $500M of American whiskey sitting in warehouses and helped push family farms in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois to the brink. Even red‑state leaders have begged him to stop policies that are hurting their own economies. 🔥 “Farm costs are ‘astronomical.’ I can’t hardly make this deal work.” 🔥 “We’re going to lose 25 or 30% of the farmers in this country if they don’t do something.” 🔥 “After Trump pissed off the Canadians… $500 million worth of whiskey sitting in warehouses.” 🔥 “Farmers in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois were losing their family farms.” 🔥 “They don’t believe in socialism — now they want a bailout.” #Economy #Farmers #TradeWar #Tariffs #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjXB7nX8bL2U2sje8d212Yw/join Support #RolandMartinUnfiltered and #BlackStarNetwork 👉🏾 Use Cash App by visiting Stripe https://buy.stripe.com/7sI3ccgYyfSQ8y45kl 👉🏾 PayPal ☛ https://www.paypal.me/rmartinunfiltered Venmo ☛https://venmo.com/rmunfiltered Zelle ☛ [email protected] Annual or monthly recurring #BringTheFunk Fan Club membership via paypal ☛ https://rolandsmartin.com/rmu-paypal/ Download the #BlackStarNetwork app on iOS, AppleTV, Android, Android TV, Roku, FireTV, SamsungTV and XBox 👉🏾 http://www.blackstarnetwork.com #RolandMartinUnfiltered and the #BlackStarNetwork are news reporting platforms covered under Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

When you operate on the strength of "this won't happen to me" or you're ok with others suffering but all bets are off when it comes to you, you should not be rewarded for your level of selfishness. For them, it's a bailout, but for everyone else, it's a handout. In my Redman voice, whateva man.

Some of their farms will become corporate owed, and some will be brought and turned into Data Centers.
