US farm bankruptcies jumped 20 percent in 2019 despite federal aid | TheHill

U.S. farms faced a surge of bankruptcies in 2019, up 20 percent despite aid efforts from Washington.

President Trump's administration allocated $28 billion in aid for farmers affected by his trade war with China in the last two years, but bankruptcies were recorded at the highest level since 2011, according to the American Farm Bureau's study reported by CNN.
===================================================
Thanks for the trade war, Donald of Orange. I doubt these poor folks will be voting for you in Nov.

Considering that about half of (the 600 of?) them would not have voted for him anyway, it is hardly going to make or break his re-election chances.

Dems bail out the car companies, and it works but the Republicans and their masters in the Con media scream and yell for years about the free market, socialism, etc. etc. etc....

Trump bails out the farmers, it doesn't work but nothing but silence from the Republicans and their masters.
