You’re literally paying “twice” for Trump’s tariffs.
Trump is using your taxpayer dollars to fix a mess he created after his tariffs nearly put so many farmers out of business.
And meanwhile, his tariffs are still inflating your grocery bills. The American people deserve better.

Breaking news: President Trump plans to announce a $12 billion relief assistance package for farmers, a key segment of his base, according to a White House official.

FLASHBACK: We asked ex ag commish Charlie Hatcher if he anticipated another Trump farmer bailout because of his tariffs, which impact Tennessee more than most.
It was obvious. But he scratched his head, insisted farmers were “optimistic”
Now he’s running for Congress 🤷🏼
