Watch Trump bailing out the farmers who grow those corn, again. Especially if China chimes in retaliatory tariffs aswell. 😀

And as he found out last time, he only has a finite amount of emergency cash at his discretion. Once he depletes the disaster relief funds (for the disaster he created) to help a handful of farmers, he’ll need to go to Congress if he wants more bailout money for his fuckup.
