## Transcript

A bad deal all the way around. Bad for the taxpayers, horrible for farmers. It's just a bad deal. $ 12 billion sounds like a lot of money. Can you put it in context? [ LAUGH ] It is, it's a lot of money. $ 12 billion, we're talking B. But compared to what the farmers lose over time, it's not. I mean, the notion that you're gonna replace. This, and then farmers don't want aid, they want markets. And to basically take these markets away and then try to make them whole by saying we're just gonna give you some aid. One, this 12 billion announced today suggests that this is gonna be a longer term problem than the president Sad.

Just trade wars are easy to win, not so much.
