Well let’s see

If someone from another country posts shite about killing people in America - it’s probably not a good fricking idea to allow them into our country. Your parents should have taught you what the frick common sense was when you were growing up because you sound like a dumbass idiot questioning this

Trump wanted to rip the band-aid off with the foreign policy stuff as quickly as possible. Foreign policy does not win elections but he had to get the world under control before focusing on domestic policy.

Now that he pretty much has the world under control, the beginning of 2026 will be all about domestic issues, retribution, accountability which will make a perfect campaign season for Republicans.

People are now complaining that the fentanyl is not strong enough which is weening people off fentanyl- it’s glorious

If the illegals who are here working (not breaking the law with crimes (other than sneaking into the country) - if they want to stay, they have to turn in 10 illegals they know - Those 10 illegals they turn in grant them one ticket to residency.

One of these days people will listen to me on this website. I have explained this at least 20 times over the past several months that DOGE has been running all along and they are canceling billions and billions of dollars worth of fraud and bullshite - it’s obvious that Trump wanted DOGE to be out of the media spotlight so it died down with the coverage so everybody “assumed” that DOGE ended when Elon left

They can’t release anything on the 30 day window which has about 10 days left since the announcement (30 day release)

He’s not even in his first full year yet. He still has three fricking years left in his term. Have some God Damn patience. They are dealing with a dozen of the biggest fricking scandals in the history of our country at the exact same time

1. Soaring Input Costs and Inflation
High inflation under Biden—reaching a 40-year peak—drove up costs for fertilizer, fuel, feed, and equipment, squeezing farm margins. From May 2021 to May 2022, overall input costs rose 15%, with fertilizer prices up 77% year-over-year. Diesel and gasoline prices hit record highs, impacting planting, harvesting, and transportation. Farmers reported negative balance sheets and job losses in the sector, with one Iowa Farm Bureau leader calling it an "ag recession." Critics blame Biden's energy policies, like pausing LNG exports, for worsening global supply chain issues.

2. Burdening Regulations, Especially Environmental Rules
Revisions to the Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule reignited Obama-era uncertainties, potentially subjecting more farmland to federal oversight and permitting requirements. This created compliance headaches for small family farms (70% of U.S. operations), raising legal and operational costs without clear benefits. The EPA's biotech corn restrictions in Mexico were also cited as limiting U.S. exports. House Republicans argued these "radical environmental policies" prioritized "far-left groups" over food production, potentially harming the supply chain.

3. Trade Policy Failures and Declining Exports
The U.S. agricultural trade deficit hit a record $42.5 billion in FY 2025 (up from $30.5 billion in 2024), with exports at their lowest since 2020 ($169.5 billion) and imports surging. Critics, including Senate Agriculture Ranking Member John Boozman, faulted the administration for inaction on new deals, allowing competitors like Brazil to capture markets (e.g., ethanol tariffs in Brazil). No major free-trade agreements were pursued, and issues like Thailand's 50% beef tariff persisted. This hurt row crop farmers (e.g., soybeans, corn) reliant on exports, with 70 million acres planted for international markets in 2023 going underutilized.

4. Tax Proposals Threatening Farm Succession
Biden's American Families Plan proposed hiking capital gains taxes and limiting like-kind exchanges, potentially forcing family farms to sell land upon inheritance to cover estate taxes. Estimates suggested millions in added liabilities for farms, despite claims it would affect fewer than 2% of estates. This was seen as undermining generational transfers, vital for 96% of U.S. farms that are family-owned.

5. Perceived Discrimination in Aid Programs
Early debt relief under the American Rescue Plan targeted "socially disadvantaged farmers," leading to lawsuits (e.g., Faust v. Vilsack) alleging racial discrimination against white farmers (over 60% of the 2 million U.S. total). Courts blocked parts of the program, creating uncertainty and delays in broader aid. DEI-focused initiatives were later criticized as diverting funds from direct farmer support.

These critiques peaked in 2024-2025, with farm groups like the American Farm Bureau highlighting how policies contributed to a "brutal" environment.
