Trump's gonna take tariff money to help out the farmers who are being hurt by his tariffs/trade war. At least that's what I think he said in this word salad, excuse me...weave.
Quote:
We’re going to take some of that tariff money that we made, we’re going to give it to our farmers, who are, for a little, going to be hurt until it kicks in — the tariffs kick in to their benefit. So, we’re going to make sure our farmers are in great shape ’cause we’re taking in a lot of money.”
“We’re finding, the other day, it was very interesting — they found $31 billion,”
They said, “Sir,” I said, “You mean positively, right?” They said, “Yeah, 31 more than we knew. We didn’t know where it came from.” I said, “Check the tariff shelf.” They came back the following morning, they said, “You’re right sir, it came from the tariffs. We’ve never seen anything like this.”
Oh wait...that was $31 MILLION on the lost and found tariff shelf...
So what we’re going to be doing is taking some money from all of the tariff money that we’re taking and we’re going to be distributing it to all of our farmers, until the tariffs kick in to their benefit. which, ultimately, the farmers are going to be making a fortune. But it’s a process that ultimately has to kick in.

Good to know farmers are going to 'make a fortune'
$31 billion lost on the 'tariff shelf'...whoda thunk it?
the U.S. has collected $165.4 billion from them as of Sept. 22...19% got lost on the 'tariff shelf'...
