    What, I wonder, allows for our leadership to continually apply such a small-minded solution to such a complex situation?

Trump agriculture chief: No guarantee small farms can survive:

    Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said Tuesday in Wisconsin that he’s unsure if small family dairy farms can survive as larger institutions continue to boom.

Doesn't sound good. Maybe he can explain why they're giving the finger to (presumably) some of Trump's own base?

    Perdue defended the White House’s strategy, calling the Chinese “cheaters.”

    “They toyed us into being more dependent on their markets than them on us. That’s what the problem has been,” he said. “They can’t expect to come into our country freely and fairly without opening up their markets.”

"Yeah! The Chinese baited us into the tariffs!!!!" ... Yikes, Trump admin, just listen to yourselves :(.
