Trump, as usual, doubling down on his grift.
This time, its buying a politician & his country so they'll do Trump's bidding.

When supporters were no longer of use to him, he betrayed them & our country. Americans pay for his tariffs on top of dealing with a failing economy. Donny is bailing out Argentina while farmers and their families go broke because nations we used to sell product to are refusing to buy from us.

Mark Hamill @markhamillofficial.bsky.social · 4h

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

1/6 🧵I grew up in rural America...the kind of place where the morning smell of diesel and soil told you exactly what kind of day it was going to be.
Half the kids in my class had dirt under their nails before breakfast.

2/6 Their parents were farmers...the backbone...the tax base, and the quiet strength of this country.

Most of them voted for Trump.

They believed in him. Trusted him. Thought he understood the struggle of getting one more season out of land that no longer loves you back.

3/6 And now? He just bailed out Argentina...a foreign government...while the same American farmers who fed this nation are being left to rot on their own soil.

He sold every damn one of them out.

I know what’s coming next because I’ve seen this movie before.

4/6 In the 1980s, I watched men I knew...proud...sunburned... good men...lose everything they’d worked for.

Some walked into the barn one morning and didn’t come back out.

Others took the truck down a gravel road and made a final decision they couldn’t undo.

5/6 It broke families.
It broke towns.

And it carved something into me that’s never left: when leaders trade loyalty for leverage, it’s always the working man who pays the price.

This time… I fear it’ll be worse.

More debt. More pressure. More betrayal wrapped in patriotism.

6/6 And more men and women realizing...too late...that the people they trusted sold them a brand...not a future.

Because when you betray the backbone of a nation...it’s not just crops that die.

It’s hope.

House Republicans aren’t even in DC as the Trump Shutdown wreaks havoc on everyday people. We’re pushing vulnerable GOP representatives to call for a bipartisan deal to save healthcare. If your Member of Congress is a Republican, demand that they get back to work: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...
