A beekeeper who voted for President Donald Trump three times says he would have “considered other options” after the president ordered tariffs and cuts that could put him out of business.
“I never thought I was going to lose this much money this fast,” farmer Jim Hartman told CNN, explaining that cuts to the federal budget, combined with the Trump administration’s tariff policy, could cause him to lose over half of his annual income.
TOTAL FARMER DEATH
fuck bees
cuts to the federal budget
Wow, it's almost like public deficits are private surpluses.
I get my honey from my neighbor. Not my problem.
I collect raw honey from my chimney. Bees fucking love my house.
you could see Trump costed this man his BEEsiness
how the fuck would tarrifs affect a beekeper. The hives are made out of wood you can get anywhere
his honey is being tariffed = his honey is not being purchased
Leopards eating faces.
why would a beekeeper need imports?
it's a job drunk neets (monks) used to do and they supplied society
sounds like a shitty apiarist
he sold lots of honey to schools under some gov program and DOGE cut everything
The article says he imports bottles from Taiwan and corks from Portugal, but he also sold half of his honey to the federal government through a food bank program.
He's a Trump supporter who also depends on the government to buy his stock. It's like businesses who depend on illegal immigrant labor yet vote for trump for some reason. Just retards.
didn't notice the article link, thanks
Because it's a dumb fake article to make globalists all giddy because they think absolutely everyone is dependent on chinese shite to survive.
vote Trump
wtf why is he doing what I voted for him to do
People are acting like they didn’t have since November to prepare for this.
Farmers are more dependent on the federal govt than anyone else. They're heavily subsidized and get more protections than any other industry.
I'd rather not anon...
This is a signal to start a glassblowing business and plant cork trees.
anecdotal "evidence" from CNN on a scripted dubs OP
right

Go ahead and call him and tell him what you feel.

You’re not supposed to post useful information.
fuck bees
The massive spam by brown chinkshills is a massive bull signal.
Well, it looks like he and his business were a part of the "big government waste" rhetoric that he totally bought into.
I love these boomers who envision cutting government expenses as eliminating social programs for [insert-minority-here] people. But he's too dumb to realize that the government actually fucking works for him, and is in fact a giant boomer subsidy. Even that faggot Elon would never had made his billions without the government subsidizing his $90k cars, and his space company, and all the hard problems of space flight science that NASA has already figured out for him.
Benefits for me? Good
Benefits for them? Bad
Cork takes like 30 years to grow
big win
we're gonna blow beautiful, you're gonna love it!
it will be something to look at
buy a tesla, or you're a communist
“Stuff like this is pushing me left,” he told The Wall Street Journal in a separate interview, claiming that farmers like him have been left to carry the brunt of the president’s trade war.
And although he does not blame Trump personally for the economic downturn, “the people he’s appointed and the way they’re going about things, it’s not OK,”
"And seriously, we can't let him get the nuclear codes," he continued.
Fascinating article from a totally real business owner that totally regrets voting for Trump.
guy goes out of business
Oh NOOOOOO! how could anyone, anywhere, at any point fail in busiess?! this has literally never happened before! quick, burn the constitution and flood the country with brown people!
Better get on it then. Better returns than the fake news stonk market.
I guess that must sting
literal who newspaper that has a sex section on its website
photo of the writer looks like a _soyjak
Yeah I'm sure this is a reliable source of information, I'll be sure to take every word to heart
You cant, they would sting you. Also regardless of how hard you try to please them they will never love back, only use you and then never come back. Bees are fucking sluts that break hearts. We could have had something together you stupid yellow fuck, we could have had something beautiful. Fuck you.
Like everything that country does its really just annoying, unconvincing, and half assed
At least (some) of the trannies put effort into the pilpul
Bees are kikes, I prefer wasps
fuck you corporation drones. Why have capitalism at all uf you think that way.
CHINKS CHINKS CHINKS CHINKS
Least obsessed faggot award.
buried deep into the article
farmer admits that it's not the tariffs that cost him half his business but rather the fact that half his business came from selling honey to schools and the federal government stopped buying them (DOGE cutting unnecessary spending)
it has literally nothing to do with tariffs
how convenient
kek
I have zero sympathy for him
Markets go up while businesses collapse
Can someone explain this meme.
Markets are big business that slurp up small business assets and market share when they go bankrupt.
He either is buying/selling most of his supplies or products from foreign nations, or was one of the leeches reliant on government programs
We need more labor jobs
No not those labor jobs
A reminder that Trump promised farmers subsidies in exchange for voting for him because they'd be hit with reciprocal tariffs in 2018, instead he's let them rot this time kek, fuck food overproduction who needs it let farmers collapse from tariffed Canadian ash imports, lack of exports and no subsidies
The extent you will go to to blame farmers for retarded trump tariffs killing businesses is hilarious.
Gonna call him a hypocritical faggot.
This is a joke right? Nobody is this stupid, and would be quoted saying such dumb things, right?
I mean, this is like a reddit tier leopards at my face joke
Good. I wanna see Americans suffer. Kinda got sick of them and their arrogance. As a European, these past few months have done it. Disgusting fucking creatures. Drug addict scum
