Lies. China bought $1.4 billion in soybeans from Illinois alone last year.
This year, due to Trump's policies, the U.S. is projected its lowest soybean exports to China since 2018—when Trump was also President.
Don't let Trump gaslight you. He's always been bad for our farmers.

Leavitt: "President Trump convinced President Xi to continue purchasing again American soybeans, which is something China wasn't doing under the last administration because they had no respect for President Biden or the country at the time."

Brian is correct, but what a world we have to live in that we have to note out loud that a for-profit corporation decided to continue airing a very profitable show.
These days, it's notable whenever a major media company ignores Trump's pressure and stands with talent. So let's note that Disney has renewed Jimmy Kimmel's contract for another year

Feds gassed and tackled people in Elgin today, the same day Kristi Noem was in Chicago for a Christmas photo op, after a few weeks of relative quiet.
I'm remembering that old story about groundskeepers at Versailles who would only turn the palace fountains on when the king came by.
