Trump's Tariffs Are DESTROYING American Farmers - Bankruptcies DOUBLE

 

 

America’s farm crisis is accelerating—and the people being destroyed by it are Donald Trump’s own voters. 

 

This video breaks down how Donald Trump’s tariffs have triggered a surge in farm bankruptcies, wiped out key export markets, and left family farms collapsing at rates not seen in years. In the first half of 2025 alone, farm bankruptcies reached 181 cases, nearly matching the total for all of 2024. In the first quarter, bankruptcies doubled year over year. Farmers across the Midwest point to one cause above all others: Trump’s trade war. 

 At the center of the collapse is soybeans—America’s largest agricultural export. Before the tariffs:

 The U.S. exported nearly $25 billion in soybeans annually Roughly $12 billion went to China After Trump’s tariffs and China’s retaliation:

 China effectively stopped buying American soybeans 

Exports fell to near zero during peak months 

China replaced U.S. farmers with Brazil and Argentina 

Brazil now supplies nearly 80% of China’s soybean imports 

This video explains: How tariffs wiped out America’s largest farm export market Why higher input costs are crushing farmers from both sides How fertilizer, equipment, and seed prices surged due to tariffs 

Why bailouts can’t replace lost markets How $35 billion in taxpayer-funded farm bailouts failed to stop bankruptcies 

Why family farms are collapsing while corporate agribusiness consolidates power How Trump’s first trade war permanently reshaped China’s supply chains 

Why many lost markets are never coming back While farmers lose land that’s been in families for generations, large agribusiness corporations absorb bankrupt operations—and foreign competitors enjoy record profits. 

China ended 2025 with a record $1 trillion trade surplus, while American farmers faced storage overflows, collapsing prices, and rising debt. 

Even Republican leaders from farm states have acknowledged that critical export markets are now “shut down.” This is not abstract economics. 

It’s families losing farms, communities hollowing out, and a policy failure being papered over with emergency checks that arrive too late—and go mostly to the biggest players. 

All analysis is based on bankruptcy data, trade statistics, farm group reporting, economist testimony, and documented policy timelines, not speculation. Viewers are encouraged to examine the evidence and draw their own conclusions.
