Summary
Trump snapped at a reporter who asked how much economic pain he was willing to inflict amid plunging markets triggered by his new tariffs.
Speaking after a weekend at his Florida resort, Trump dismissed speculation he was trying to crash the market, claiming tariffs would bring in “$1 trillion” and spur U.S. manufacturing.
When asked about a pain threshold for Americans, he called the question “so stupid,” arguing economic “medicine” was necessary to reverse decades of “stupid leadership.”
He insisted the strategy would make the U.S. “solid and strong again.”
Where do you think food comes from exactly? It’s not New York City or San Francisco. California has a good bit of farm country, but a lot of the rest of our food does come from “red” states.
except lots are paid by the government to grow food. that money is now gone.
So if you think the “red” food-producing states would stop producing food altogether without government money, then where would the “blue” states get food?
By the way, it is not money that grows food from the farmers’ fields. They are still able to produce crops without subsidies. They just might not be able to produce a surplus of crops to export to other states.
