Farmers Warn Trump’s Policies Could Cripple America’s Food Supply

Farmers across the United States are sounding the alarm bells about what Donald Trump’s mass deportations will do to their businesses, which would then impact the entire country’s food supply. Farmers say that if Trump goes through with their plans, the prices of food will not only skyrocket, but the supply will dwindle down to the point where we could see massive food shortages. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Farmers across the United States are, once again for the second time in the last week and a half, sounding the alarm bells about what is going to happen to them, to the prices of food and to the supply of food in the United States. If Donald Trump goes through with his plans of mass deportations, and before I get to what the farmers are predicting will happen to everything, let's be clear, Donald Trump's threats of mass deportations are going to happen. He has made that abundantly clear just himself, but more importantly, so have his allies. So has Steve Bannon, so has Steven Miller, so has Elon Musk and Vik Sami. They just want to be able to keep the H one B visa people. The rest of 'em can get the hell out. There is nobody in Donald Trump's ear right now that has any amount of power telling him don't do the mass deportations.

And even if there were, he wouldn't listen to 'em anyway. So these fears that these farmers have are based on a big, if, if Trump does this, this is what will happen. But it's not an if it's a win. So I wanted to make sure that everybody understands that. Before I tell you what these farmers are saying, first and foremost, they're telling us many of the farms are gonna go under, they will have fruits and vegetables dying in the fields because without these workers, they won't have anybody to tend to the farms. So right off the bat, massive bankruptcies and shutting down of farms, the few that do remain open will be able to produce less than they produce now, which means two things with less supply, but demand staying the same basic macro economics, the prices are going to go up. So everybody that's been talking about how horrible the price of goods are in this country, the prices of groceries, guess what? They're about to get worse and they are bad. Now, I'm not trying to downplay that. I'm not trying to downplay anybody's economic struggles. Those are real and they're about to get so much worse for you. The other thing, scarcity, another basic economic principle.

More demand than supply increases the price. The increase in price will reduce the number of people willing to purchase that good. However, the demand may still be so high that we then enter a period of scarcity where every time a new truck rolls into a

Grocery store with, with food, people are lined up at the door to run in there. Like it's a Black Friday from the year 2000 to snatch up a tickle me Elmo. But instead, they're fighting over lettuce, they're fighting over potatoes. Again, this is not coming from me. This is coming from the people that produce our food. They're telling us that there will not be enough to go around anymore if and when Trump goes through with his mass deportation plans. So we will pay more for everything. If you're even able to purchase it. We could see a real life food shortage in the United States. Think about that for a second, folks.

It it, it would be unimaginable in the year 2025 for a nation as wealthy as ours, as powerful as ours to go into a food shortage. And by the way, before you think, well, can't we just import food? Ah, you forgot about the tariffs on every country sending goods into the United States, which of course has paid by the companies here in the United States and passed on to US consumers. So that doesn't fix anything at all. If anything, it exacerbates the problem. This is real, and this is what we're looking at.
