Why do a lot of farmers vote Trump?

A lot of American farmers back Trump, and it kind of makes sense at first glance. Think about it—he puts a 20% tariff on all imports, and suddenly foreign goods get pricey. Now that $3 bag of lemons from Mexico? Boom, it’s $7. Meanwhile, California lemons are sitting pretty at $5. People start eyeing those “Made in (insert country)” stickers like hawks to save a couple bucks, because we all know small savings add up fast. Farmers see this and think, “Hey, if foreign produce is more expensive, my stuff will fly off the shelves!”

But here’s where things get weird. What about that crazy weather wrecking crops left and right? And by the way, most of those shiny John Deere machines? Yeah, they’ve got parts from Mexico and China. Oops. Then there’s the whole issue of who’s actually picking these crops. Deporting the workers who handle the harvest? Not exactly a solid strategy. Plus, if farmers have to start paying fair wages and benefits, things get a little uncomfortable.

So, why exactly are farmers voting for Trump again? It’s like they’re betting on half the plan and forgetting the rest of the puzzle pieces that could totally mess it up!
