Agreed. But Trump cannot do this alone. He needs the help of the always feckless GOP-e who always has it finger in the air, testing the direction of the political winds.

The media have misunderstood the concerns of the American Farmer. They understand the need of "long range planning" and will be patient to the plans of Trump as long as they aren't taken for fools(again) They need to be reassured the president has "their back" and stories like this reassure them that , in the end, they will get good prices for their crops and not just being used as an "bargaining chip" as they have been used when election time rolls around.

Just ask Jimmy Carter about the vengeance of the American Farmer.
