Trump bails out crooked Brazilian meatpacking Co....$62 Million

[JuliefromOhio]

What the hell?

The Trump administration on Thursday defended its $62 million bailout to a Brazilian meatpacking company controlled by a pair of corrupt brothers, arguing the private pork payout will eventually trickle down to struggling U.S. farmers.

Food industry watchdogs were baffled that JBS USA, owned by shady food industry titans Joesley and Welsey Batista, have their snouts so deep in an American bailout money pot, even though it’s designed to support American farmers hit hard by President Trump’s trade war.


The Brazilian bad boys — both of whom have confessed to bribing hundreds of top officials in their home country.

Trump is bailing everybody out......for his made-by-Trump trade war hot mess.

$12 billion last year to US farmers.
$20 billion this year to US farmers.

The bailouts are just a bandaid to try and keep the votes, farmers I know don't want bailouts because those payments ALWAYS come with strings attached ! Funny how Trump voting farmers have to go against their core beliefs and swallow their pride.

Can anyone explain how bailing out a corrupt foreign corporation helps our farmers?
It probably helps our corporate mega-farms rather than lowly farmers.

Trump never has been a fiscal conservative. The bailouts are terrible. I'm not like you though, I don't just oppose Republicans doing it. I oppose all bailouts. I opposed TARP. Capitalism is the path to riches, but failures going under is critical to a well functioning capitalist economy

You were for bailouts before you were against them. And when a Democrat is back in office, you will be for them again.

I'm consistently against bailouts. I don't care who does it. Bailouts warp capitalism because bad companies continue to sit at the table playing the game with taxpayer money

Trump is just not a capitalist. That's the main reason I didn't vote for him. The other was how he's talked about women. I'm a father of two daughters, it offended me.

So was Obama owned by all the people who he gave bailouts to too? Of course not, you're just a lying partisan hack

Defend Trump.....in honor of your daughters.

Democrats: To criticize Democrats is to defend Trump.

You're full of shit. It isn't. I voted for Gary Johnson and won't be voting for Trump next year either. Matt Stone said it best.

Matt Stone: I hate conservatives, but I really f'ing hate liberals

Oh, but to criticize socialists is to support Trump! There is no one else! If you were really a libertarian, you'd be a leftist Democrat!

Tell me again how Democrats are smarter than Republicans because you aren't all black and white like they are ...

We aren't big enough to get much of anything, we just keep keeping on

Well Brazilian women are pretty hot and King Trump doesn't go for the uglies......
