Trumpâs âClever & Generousâ Farm Bailout: Farmers Beware
National Economic Council head, Kevin Hassett, dropped a tantalizing hint Wednesday at Axios News Shapers: as soon as Washingtonâs microwave oven known as the government shutdown finally pings 'done,' a 'clever and generous' bailout will swoop in for American farmers crushed by trade wars. Soybean farmers, those tear-stained soil poets whose biggest admirer until recently was China, now face an export exile thanks to the trade rip-off and a shutdown delaying rescue drills scheduled for Oct. 7. Hassett didnât spill the bailout beans, but promised itâs both 'quite clever and generous'âbecause nothing says farm support like a suspense thriller stuck in political limbo.

Trumpâs bailout plan for farmers is 'clever and generous'âtranslation: weâll give you just enough to keep rebooting the tractor app but not quite enough to fix the trade war potholes.
Farmers waiting for Trumpâs bailout like itâs the final season of Game of Thronesâpromised clever twists but still stuck in a government cliffhanger.
The government shutdown delayed a bailout so clever even soybean farmers need a PhD in economics to understand itâor maybe just a wheelbarrow full of patience.
