Slouching Towards Oblivion

Overheard

A president who knows practically nothing about economics started a trade war - because they're "easy to win" - which made it nearly impossible for farmers to sell their goods, so he put them on welfare, paying them money our government has to borrow from the countries he started the war with.

Instead of profiting from the sale of American food to China, 45*'s trade policy has us paying interest to China while our farmers have become dependent on government handouts because they can't sell their crops to China.

And still, this makes enough sense to the rubes that they go right on supporting him.
