U.S. farming has been a hot-button issue in the ongoing trade war.

The fourth largest buyer for America agriculture products just said no thanks in response to Trump’s increasing tariffs against another round of Chinese goods. This is the (I’ve lost count. Third?

When the economy tanks as a result, remember who did that. This, unlike most economic results, is directly tied to the actions of one man. #ImpeachTrump
