WASHINGTON, D.C. — A $12 billion aid package for the agricultural industry is designed to help American farmers cope with how good the economy is, President Trump announced Monday.
The Farmer's Bridge Assistance Program was reportedly created by Trump in response to complaints from farmers about the economy. Since, according to Trump, the economy is "doing just tremendous", he saw fit to shift funding away from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to help farmers deal with just how tremendous the economy was.
"These farmers — they don't know anything. I love 'em, but they're out in the fields all day singing slave songs or whatever they do. They don't understand money," Trump said during a White House Cabinet Room roundtable. "So we're going to throw some money at them so they can handle just how well the economy is doing."
Farmers attempted to explain to Trump their precise economic concerns: higher supply costs, plummeting crop prices, and a labor shortage due to mass deportation. The president only shook his head and pointed to a chart showing a 3% inflation rate. "The numbers are down, which means the economy is up," Trump had said. "That's just basic math. And you can take it from me, I'm a math wiz. Everyone says so. They look at me and ask how I can solve all these math problems and I tell them it's just adding and subtracting. It's very simple."
According to sources, however, farmers are eager to get their hands on the funding from the aid package regardless of its intent because "money is money."
At publishing time, Trump had asked the Federal Reserve to keep lowering interest rates to catch up with the booming economy.
