There is a disinformation campaign where farmers who are harmed by Trump’s actions go on to claim that the true cause of their economic misery is “deep state” or equivalents - not that Trump’s a reactionary know nothing who doesn’t have a fucking clue about anything and his idiotic trade war and refusal to act to impose the TPP and inability to move NAFTA 2.0 (his USMCA) due to his complete incompetence and lack of understanding about how the legislative process works.

Yeah: those quotes from the Reuters piece linked in no. 93 are pretty
depressing:

“The question I hear from farmers who voted for (Trump) is, ‘We believed him when he said he would help make the farm economy better, that we could save our farms. Now, who do we blame?’” Matthews said.

Many farmers told Reuters they intend to support Trump again in his re-election bid in 2020.

“It’s much easier to be angry at a faceless Washington bureaucracy than at the man you voted for,” said Jere Solvie, 69, grain and hog farmer from west-central Minnesota who voted for Trump and still supports him.

And unfortunately for the country, I don’t think those attitudes are limited to farmers.
