The tariffs are an illegal act by Trump imposed on everyone under the lie that it is a nation security issue. It wasn't a major security issue before, but the imposition of tariffs has had a negative impact on national security. Trump and the republicans are to blame.
Farmers go bankrupt.
The international markets that caused the demand, that kept prices high enough to make higher profits, are gone forever and the farmer will take the biggest hit. There will be significant increases in machinery, parts, and materials, because none of those products purchased are made in the USA anymore, they are all imported. So between the increase in cost (25%) and the loss of major markets, thousands of farms will go bankrupt. This will lead to higher prices for the consumer.
Nations that purchased the products, have found other nations to provide the products at a cheaper price, due to the agreements that were made before Trump. The USA had agreements in place that worked, perfect?, no, but better than the illegal tariffs that Trump and the republicans maintain.
The great trouble is that things will never be as good as they were for the farmers before Trump imposed the illegal tariffs. The markets are gone, and the recovery will be long, if we ever recover.

The republicans that promised to defend the farmers, this nation, and the people who voted for them, hide like little mice from Trump.
You would think, that the republican farmers who elected these republican congress people would be screaming about going bankrupt.
You would think that the Republican congress people would be screaming about the ILLEGAL TARIFFS that are hurting the people that voted for them.
But no, they pass non-binding resolutions that don't mean anything.
They obstruct with justice in the matters of a RUSSIAN SPY RING. Ryan, Nunes, and Gowdy. Why? Why? Why? Are they pals of Czar Putin also? (They are friends of Russian/NRA money)
The republican congress people are more loyal to Trump than to the farmers who elected them.
