Trump went to Iowa to proclaim, "Nobody has ever done more for Iowa and the farm belt and the farmers." He then went on to talk about conspiracies and whine about witch hunts.

So Let's talk about what Trump did for farmers:

Almost immediately after Trump took office, his administration began enacting an agenda to systematically defund essential rural services and programs.

The Trump administration granted 85 oil refineries a pass from buying 4 billion gallons of renewable fuel, killing demand for 1.4 billion bushels of corn used to make it.

America’s farmers bore the brunt of China’s retaliation in the trade war that President Donald Trump launched in 2018. In Iowa alone, the damage to corn, soybean, and hog markets was estimated at almost $1.7 billion.

Trump’s disastrous policies contributed to more than 2,000 dairy farms closing their barn doors forever, and record numbers of rural families filing for bankruptcy.

We know and research has shown that green policies can bring an additional $8 billion annually to rural communities. Yet, Trump spent his time in office rolling back environmental protections and ramping up fossil fuel development.

Trump's failed response to the COVID crisis left those who help feed the country reeling from the impact with many having to dump milk, burn crops, and euthanize livestock because there were no markets in which to sell their products.

There is always a human cost to Trump's ill-informed politics and policies and America's farmers paid a steep one. If Trump wins the 2024 election what’s left of the agriculture industry is going to be in tatters. We really are better with Biden.

⚡️ EU Council adopts 18 billion euro assistance for Ukraine despite blockage by Hungary.

The EU Council said on Dec. 10 that it agreed on a package that will "enable the EU to help Ukraine financially throughout 2023 with 18 billion euros.”

@AWeissmann_ @gtconway3d Part of what is being said is the inventory has been given to tfg, but also some documents may be so sensitive they can’t be described. If those exist does he still possess national security threats?

I could do without the creepy music, but this is a great clip to show to anyone not yet convinced that January 6 was the final stage of a careful plot to overthrow the election result. The plotters told us what they were doing, in real time, as they were doing it.

@NicolleDWallace @stengel Quick question, his lack of support for the military is also reflected in his stealing money from the military to fund his “Mexico will pay for it” wall. Why is this not part of his exposure? Just asking.
