Trump "He devastated American farmers by provoking China into a trade war, then spent billions in subsidies to keep them from bankruptcy." We can't have a trade war with China, both Democrats and Republicans betrayed us. The wealthy wanted to exploit workers, for much greater profits, so they passed trade deals that sent enormous amounts of fairly well paying manufacturing jobs to China, Thailand, El Salvador...

@Be Ye Separate Your comments are no more constructive than those of the articles author. It is easy to criticize, far harder to come up with something better.
