The Coming Trump Tariff Bailout

By The Editorial Board
Oct. 5, 2025 4:20 pm ET

You knew it was coming. As President Trump’s tariffs damage farmers and businesses across the U.S., the victims are besieging the Administration for relief. The long lines at the Commerce and Agriculture departments are the latest proof of self-destructive tariff folly.

Due to a MAGA imbecile, who insists on complaining to the admins about me posting from the WSJ, you will need to look this up yourself.

Trump is going to push a $10B bailout. Youmay recall his first term's farmers bailout.

Don't forget Northwest, this has nothing to do with MAGA nor the Republicans because neither exist in principle anymore.

Yes, the Republican Party technically exists but the MAGA movement has been de-identifying itself with Trump for quite some time now because of what Trump is doing, which is NOT what MAGA bills itself as being about ...and certainly not what the old traditional center-right leaning Republican Party is about.

That's why Trump will go down in flames, not because of the Dems, but because of the withdrawal of support from MAGA and the Republican Party as the US economy slowly grinds to a halt and once again becomes identified globally as an Isolationist, Protectionist Nation just like America was in the 1930's.

Cool, which probably explains the conservative outrage when he indicted a former FBI Director on Trumped up charges.

@swirlie I'm not so sure.
Project 2025 clearly shows the aim is to deconstruct the federal govt and turn it into a White Christian Nationalist State.

@Northwest
That is correct.

@JSul3
But the creation of Project 2025 had absolutely nothing to do with MAGA! That's my point! MAGA has been cast to the wind by Trump and Trump is now operating on his own after re-branding the Republican Party and then recently becoming separated (but not divorced) from MAGA which was the re-branded Republican Party.

Project 2025 is Trump's Advisor's brainchild, it isn't even Trump's idea ..and it certainly has nothing to do with the MAGA agenda.
