Taylor said he's a lifelong Republican. He voted for President Trump in 2024. He applied to receive relief from the administration's $12 billion Farmer Bridge Assistance Program — a one-time payment designed to offset tariff losses.
The Trump administration argued the payments would help farmers until their economic policies, such as lowering some taxes, would take effect.
Taylor received a payment in March, he said, declining to disclose the exact amount. But he said it covered only about 20 percent of what he actually lost last year, and his patience with the Trump administration is "wearing thin."
The rising cost of fertilizer and fuel prices is pushing some farmers to the brink

If he won't stop destroying my livelihood I might consider not voting for his illegal 3rd term.

If he won't stop destroying my livelihood I will be mighty pissed in the voting booth when I vote for his illegal 3rd term.

If he doesn't stop destroying my livelihood, I'll be mighty pissed 2 years after voting for him in to office for a 3rd time, since he is doing the exact same things he did during his first and second terms, and he even told us in all 4 campaigns that he was going to do these things.

Welfare queen living off the tax payer dollar while the rest of us work for our money. Somebody should deport him back where he came from.

There's hasn't been a Republican administration in my lifetime that hasn't pushed farmers to the brink. Possibly even my parent's lifetimes...
