Two Repub senators react negatively to Trump's latest trade gambit: 'farmer's welfare'...
Sen Rob Portman (R-Ohio): Farmers want trade, not aid.
Sen Ben Sassse (R-Nebraska): Trump's trade war "is cutting the legs out from under farmers and White House's 'plan' is to spend $12 billion on gold crutches."
Interesting interview tonight on PBS' NewsHour with Repub Senator Ben Sasse (Nebraska) regarding his strong objection to Trump's welfare check for farmers...
"I live in the most productive state in the history of agriculture right now. Our people feed the world," Sen. @BenSasse says of the state he represents, Nebraska. "They don't want bailouts; they want more trade." pic.twitter.com/BGr1cLmgVn
