The man playing at being president has no idea what he is doing.

The Trump administration's immigration enforcement mostly left farms and meat packing plants alone, until coordinated raids last week. Now, President Trump is signaling continued support for farmers.

House Republicans just managed to pass its jam-packed, multi trillion-dollar spending bill to fund Donald Trump’s second-term agenda. It includes major cuts and changes to Medicaid and SNAP in order to deliver large tax cuts to the wealthy. “It is a piece of garbage,” former Democratic Senator Jon Tester of Montana told Ali Velshi. Tester says, like Trump’s tariffs, it will hurt farmers and worsen pre-existing problems in rural America, which could lead to “an even bigger mass exodus” of people out of those areas. “It doesn’t deal with the issues,” he says. “It puts a band aid over the issues in production and agriculture, just like it puts a band aid over our national debt.”
