Yes having our fertilizer shipped from a Russian proxy dictator half the world away is surely a better way to arrange things than getting it from our democratic, once-friendly neighbor here in the North America
Trump: "The United States is working on a massive Deal with respect to the purchase of Potash from Belarus. The pricing would be for substantially less than we are currently paying to Canada, very good news for our Farmers and Ranchers. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

A brand new poll shows that voters aren’t just pissed about the economy; they are rejecting every element of the Trump agenda. They don’t like the man; they don’t like what he’s done, and they absolutely hate his latest ideas. www.messageboxnews.com/p/nbc-poll-t...
