What happened

President Trump said that for four years before he took office, the previous administration crushed America’s farmers with, in his words, the worst inflation in the country’s history, crippled the agriculture industry with brutal restrictions, and failed to negotiate even a single new trade deal on farmers’ behalf. He said his administration is the exact opposite and joked it has so many trade deals it needs more lawyers.

The President said American farmers, ranchers, growers, and producers once again have a true friend and champion in the Oval Office, and that in his first year back in the White House farm income soared by 20 percent very quickly. He said he repealed the Biden EPA’s water restrictions to keep federal bureaucrats off farmers’ land and out of their pockets.

He added that, with Republicans in Congress, the administration passed the largest tax cuts in American history, and said 45 percent of filers had already taken advantage of the new tax provisions with an average refund so far of almost $5,000.

Why it matters

The clip is the President’s direct pitch to farm country, pairing claimed income and refund figures with deregulation of water rules and a trade-deal contrast with the prior administration.

Scoreboard watch

Trump stated farm income rose 20 percent in his first year back and that 45 percent of filers had claimed new tax provisions averaging almost $5,000 in refunds; both figures are checkable against USDA and IRS data.
