Chuckles whining about Chinese tariffs now.

Chuckles is whining about the tariffs now.

Senator Chuck Grassley issued a statement on April 4 after it was announced China's second wave of tariffs will target U.S. commodities, including soybeans.

Grassley said in his statement that the Administration knew if it imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, that China would retaliate and create tariffs on U.S. agriculture. He also said he warned President Donald Trump of the possible tariffs in February.

"The United States should take action to defend its interests when any foreign nation isn’t playing by the rules or refuses to police itself. But farmers and ranchers shouldn’t be expected to bear the brunt of retaliation for the entire country," Grassley said.

Grassley added that the decision wasn't fair and didn't make economic sens


Chuckles, you and these farmers and ranchers you speak of fucked us in November 2016 by supporting Spanky McFuckstick so you'll pardon me for not prostrating myself in sympathy.

Hillary tried to warn you. And please tell me how sweet liberal tears are now. Go watch some Fox news.

I want the 80% of my area to understand the consequences of what they did .... I hope their bank accounts are zeroed out as much as they are responsible for zeroing out our country.
