Summary

Michigan farmer Rebecca Carlson, a longtime Trump supporter, faces bankruptcy as Trump’s funding freezes stall a $400,000 USDA grant for hiring temporary workers.

Carlson, who hoped Trump’s second term would revive her struggling cherry farm, already spent $200,000 preparing for labor under the H-2A visa program.

With funding halted, she risks losing $200,000 more and can’t move forward with critical hires.

Trump’s new tariffs and immigration crackdowns threaten agriculture costs and labor availability, leaving farmers uncertain and frustrated with unmet promises.

    She is racist.

    That’s why she voted for Trump.

    All the excuses she gives are secondary to the fact that she’s white and hates seeing non-whites who didn’t work as hard as her get government cheese.

    These people voted Trump not because of “fuck the libs” or “save my farm” but because, they were first and foremost, racists.
