Greetings from Trump's America UPDATE: Eleva/Trempealeau County, Wisconsin, where Sonny Perdue placed a collective kick to the gut


SourceWikipedia

As Perdue rips opens rural America’s wounds, farmers get fired up.  (Capital Times, 10/9/2019)
“I went to Madison feeling financially scared and emotionally depressed but hopeful,” said Paul Adams, who runs a 500-cow organic dairy near Eleva. "I came home feeling financially scared, emotionally depressed, unwanted and unneeded.” 
Adams said the sense he got was that 50-100 cow herds are just going to disappear, and the ag secretary doesn’t seem to care. 
“It’s an unfortunate mindset that some people and organizations have, saying we can’t control milk production, that it’s just not American,” Adams said. “What is American about being so focused on the global climate that you’re ignoring the people right here on American soil?”r
Third paragraph.  Whaddya think

'They live in fear': Arcadia struggles to heal wounds caused by ICE raid.  (Madison.com, 8/11/2019)
It’s been almost a year since the small town of Arcadia was paralyzed by an ICE raid that detained 15 residents in one weekend. Almost 40% of the town’s 3,000 population identified as Latinx, according to the 2017 Census, and since that September day, the community has struggled to heal the wounds caused by the raid while preparing for the possibility that it could happen again as threats of wide-scale ICE operations spread.

Pain of Tariffs Tests Farmers’ Faith in Trump: ‘How Long Is Short-Term?’  (The New York Times, 5/24/2019)
Despite the strain on Mr. Goplin’s family bank account and peace of mind, he backs the president’s tactics. “I get why he’s doing it,” he said over the tractor’s whir and beeps. “America has been bullied.” And if the trade war persisted through the election next year, he added, “I would be O.K. with that.” 
Federal help is “very important,” Mr. Goplin said. The administration’s previous $12 billion package of emergency aid meant the difference between profit and loss on his soybeans.
Some might call it welfare.
