The announcement was the latest in a series of financial promises and ​pledges that the Republican leader has made to voters heading into the November midterm elections, where control of Congress is at stake.

The Republican Party currently has a narrow majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. ​However, Trump's approval rating has been low due to his handling of the high cost of living ​for Americans during the US-Israeli war on Iran that has raised fuel prices.
Trump and the Republican Party have been scrambling ‌to ⁠maintain support in farm states with competitive Senate races as costs have risen.

Notice that this is not any movement towards, this is just an announcement.

Wow, so we can find money when it suits our purpose. Just not when it helps people we don't like. Got to love Republicans/MAGA/GOP.

And for anyone labeling themselves as Republicans or conservatives who say, "but I don't agree with that, we aren't all like that". Then clean your damn house.

This is for the midterms, I doubt they'll get paid. That's why I posted this, to remind people that he's lying to them again. There will be no checks and most likely, no bailouts.

I get it's all lies for votes. Look at all the other promises not kept.

But it's the ones who are going to see this and think 1) he's going to do it, or even has the ability, and 2) are the same ones who say that welfare aid or any other "socialist" action is too expensive. Bullshit.

Welfare haters in the streets, welfare queens in the sheets.

An announcement of socialism.

And if anyone wants, they can give me $4,000, and when I get my $5,000 Trump check, I'll just sign it all over to them.

MAGA loves those sweet sweet socialist bailouts.

trump again uses tax money to deal with situations brought about by enriching himself with the presidency. news at 11.

2 weeks ahead of the midterms.

To appeal to the voters supporting small government.

Private profits, public losses

Even if his program was almost perfectly efficient he could only cut the cost of diesel by about a third for one year. While this could help a little, it is not going to save the farm because that doesn't include the diesel used for shipping.

The reality is this is an ill thought out plan that will likely be corrupted and abused. Farmers might only see a small decrease in fuel bills while Trump and his cronies take the rest home through their schemes. Eight billion more dollars gone like it was nothing.

Its a concept of a program

Zero chance of this actually happening after the midterms. Those rubes will fall for it, again.

And for anyone labeling themselves as Republicans or conservatives who say, "but I don't agree with that, we aren't all like that". Then clean your damn house.

These people are called "liars."

Fortunately, they won't get anything though.

The early voting in the midwest is starting to look really fucking grim for team red.
