Hey, Iowa, having fun yet with First Felon Donald Trump's tariffs?

 
3rd party votes:  21.5% in 1992, 11.6% in 1996, 5.4% in 2016
(Alabama segregationist George Wallace 
received  11.8% of the vote in 1968)

Donnelle Eller reports:
Aaron Lehman, president of the Iowa Farmers Union board, said Monday that tariffs will not bring much joy for U.S. farmers, especially if, as a result, they lose access to foreign markets and the domestic supply of corn, soybeans, pork and other products balloons. 
Lower prices aren’t fun for farmers,” said Lehman, who led a virtual town hall meeting with U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, Monday that ended shortly before Trump's post. “Losing reliable trade markets is not fun for farmers".  [emphasis added]
