2. Promises made, promises kept!

Trump really has made Russia great again.

[Martin Eden]

21. Promises to Putin!

By his fruits ye shall know him.

[John Fante]

3. I haven't seen winning like this since the Buffalo Bills'

Super Bowl performances from 1991-1994.

[CentralMass]

4. Red Don delivers again.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

5. And the coincidences just keep on piling. To paraphrase someone

else. That muthafucka is Russian Intelligence.

[Botany]

6. I hope all those American farmers who voted for Trump are happy because after all Hillary had ...

.... a liberal agenda that needed to be stopped.

[violetpastille]

8. Let's hope they are not happy! And that Elizabeth Warren is giving them a lesson in

Econ 101!

She's good at that.

10. Gee, you would think that losing the biggest market in the world might not be a good thing.

Trump was never a great business master, almost all of his projects failed, he has declared bankruptcy
4 or more times, and "The Apprentice" was a made up tv show where Trump pretended to be a
billionaire brilliant tycoon.

BTW right now he is paying back his master, Vlad Putin. Could he be a bigger Russian asset?

[smirkymonkey]

7. Nice going, President Dipshit.

[volstork]

9. Aaaaaaaaand

there you have it. The REAL reason behind the "tariff wars."

[Adrahil]

11. WINNING!!!!!! NT

[uponit7771]

12. Benedict Donald doing more of Putin's bidding

[SleeplessinSoCal]

13. Win/Win for Putin/traitor.

new wall.

[Vinca]

14. So how much of Don's debt is paid now??

[Harker]

16. He'll never pay it off.

He's in overdrive in a race against time, and the ticking in his ear is deafening.

Vlad will just kick him to the curb, or have him over for tea.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

38. just payin' the vig

He's racing to cover the interest -- never mind the principal. Be a shame if somethin' were to happen to a tower, y'know.

[spanone]

15. Putin's got a lot to be proud of.....

don is delivering like the world has never seen before

[NCjack]

18. Don the Delivery Boy! He keeps piling up names of derision. nt

[KPN]

17. What else will this treasonous traitor do to

benefit Russia before those (if there are any) GOP Senators who didn’t already sell their services to Russia wake up and realize they will be remembered in history as being complicit in the wholesale destruction of the US Government and our democracy if they don’t step up and help rid us of Benedict Donald.

[roamer65]

19. How much more evidence do we need that Dump is a Russian asset?

[sandensea]

20. As well as Brazil and Argentina - both also ruled by Trump buddies.

And yes, one is a crisis in the making - and the other is an outright disaster.

[GetRidOfThem]

22. the two largest soy bean exporters are...

Number 1: USA (pre-tariffs), and number 2: continental-sized Brazil. The biggest beneficiaries of the soy-bean mess are not the Russians, but the Brazilians. We were neck-in-neck with them.

[roamer65]

23. The Chinese will probably able to make a go of it with increased Russian production.

[GetRidOfThem]

26. the real deal is that

Instead of importing they are planning to ramp up domestic production, which will leave the exporters screwed...

[keithbvadu2]

24. The best investment Putin ever made was putting money into Trump.

[Ferrets are Cool]

25. More winning...

Raise your hand if you are surprised by this.

[BobTheSubgenius]

27. I'll be damned.

Trade wars ARE easy to win... although winning doesn't give me the feeling I thought it would.

[elmac]

28. I'm sure the corporate welfare train will continue to come to their rescue. nt

[Kurt V.]

29. this is just putin blowing smoke .

they simply do not have the means to up production to any meaningful scale. Brazil has been the benefactor.

[womanofthehills]

37. Brazil is one of the largest producers of soybeans, but Putin has doubled his production

and plans to keep increasing his food exports. Russia is now one of the world's leading producers of wheat and plans to be the world's largest producer of organic food too. All GMO free and Russia is promoting their food as healthier than America's GMO food.

[Kurt V.]

42. it took russia 10 years to up wheat production to that level.

Everything I've read says it will take 3 to 5 years to up soybean levels. even after doubling production they account for 1 or 2 % of Chinese imports. non gmo soybean oil is popular in china but non gmo soybeans are not. this is pure Russian misinformation. however if they *annex* Ukraine, the 8th largest soybean producer, they could meet china's needs.

[dalton99a]

30. Kick

[bdamomma]

31. Gave Putin Syria too

Putin wanted his presence in the Middle East, fucking Donnie gave it to him.

[yardwork]

32. I'd like to hear some answers from the Republicans about this.

[bluestarone]

33. TRAITOR!!!! But this is what he said to the farmers (Think they still believe him?)

34. Didn't the soybean farmers create this market?

So now what? Does he plan to subsidize the soybean farmers for 12B now annually? What about chicken and pork? They're taking a hit as well. This is a classic example of voting against your own best interests. The guy goes bankrupt 5, 10, a hundred times, is sued thousands on top of thousands of times, and they still voted for him. You know why? Because her emails. Media and their ratings are wholly to blame. Maybe next time they'll do their job and VET the damn candidate.

[TryLogic]

35. Trump delivers for Putin again.

Treason, treason, treason.

[womanofthehills]

36. Trump was definitely blackmailed to do this- Also Russia has no GMO's & that's another selling point

Putin is also promoting his soy beans and all foods grown in Russia as GMO free and healthier than America's food. He wants to be the largest grower or organic food.

[beachbum bob]

39. win for putin and china, too funny

[coeur_de_lion]

40. Why not? Everything we do now benefits Putin

[Achilleaze]

41. republicans have totally screwed over American farmers

freaking traitors
