Flash: American farmers have been liberated from the “burden” of selling their products to the world!
An inconvenient question: Why are all those shipping containers filled with American sorghum sitting on loading docks?
U.S. sorghum exports to China declined 95% from 2024 to 2025. Before the trade tensions between China and the Trump Administration, China imported about 70% of the U.S. sorghum crop. Ouch!
Before China became the biggest importer of U.S. sorghum, Mexico was the biggest importer of sorghum. How are our relations with Mexico? Ouch again!
Don Bloss, a hardworking Nebraska farmer who voted for Trump, discusses his frustration: “We’ve worked quite a few years to build up the markets for our grain. It takes a lot of years of trying to build that up to have it knocked down in a day or two by one person.”
In defense of U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, the architect of America’s trade war WITH THE WHOLE WORLD, at least the penguins in the Heard and McDonald Islands are not ripping off those mentally trapped in the MAGA cocoon. Lutnick assures us that we have a zero trade deficit with all the flightless birds in the world.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
