I once again reiterate my earlier statements that a lot of Trump policy does not seem to be to be very good at all for American agriculture, which is surprising to me, given that the present-day Republican Party is the party of rural America.

It shouldn’t be surprising. Trump doesn’t represent the Republican party; Trump represents Trump. He does what’s best for Trump, nobody else. If what he wants happens to coincide with what’s good for anyone else, it’s a happy coincidence, nothing more.
