Deranged Trump Tweets He Loves & Respects Farmers; Tells Critics to “Be Cool”

In a series of three tweets on Wednesday morning President Donald Trump set forth his opinions on his trade negotiations (they are going great) and on people who are criticizing him (they are weak).

He also wrote: “China is targeting our farmers, who they know I love & respect.”

In his first tweet he makes it seem that anyone who has criticized his trade war is both weak and ignorant, saying “what can they be thinking?”

“Every time I see a weak politician asking to stop Trade talks or the use of Tariffs to counter unfair Tariffs, I wonder, what can they be thinking? Are we just going to continue and let our farmers and country get ripped off? Lost $817 Billion on Trade last year. No weakness!”

After that he made it seem that his critics were causing the delays in reaching new trade deals with the countries who have retaliated against the United States, which include China, Canada, Mexico and the European Union. He said “negotiations are going really well” with the implication being that if people would just leave him alone he’d come up with some great deals on his own.

“When you have people snipping at your heels during a negotiation, it will only take longer to make a deal, and the deal will never be as good as it could have been with unity. Negotiations are going really well, be cool. The end result will be worth it!”

Most people who know Donald Trump will laugh at his last tweet where he attacks China and accuses them of targeting farmers in the trade war that Trump started. What’s laughable is him saying he loves and respects farmers, which is ridiculous.

What is true is that he fears farmers will turn against him at the polls, and vote for Democrats who would then be in charge of Congress after November’s elections.

“China is targeting our farmers, who they know I love & respect, as a way of getting me to continue allowing them to take advantage of the U.S. They are being vicious in what will be their failed attempt. We were being nice – until now! China made $517 Billion on us last year.”

One thing Donald Trump is missing is that almost nobody outside his own administration believes that what he is doing in the area of trade:

Is a good idea, or
Will work.

With his latest tweets Trump has once again demonstrated his belief that if he tweets something then it is true, and people will believe it. Unfortunately what he tweeted today is NOT true and almost nobody believes what he wrote.

Even his $12 billion bribe of farmers he announced on Tuesday won’t save him from paying the price for his ignorant and misguided moves on trade.
