The government of Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, has inflicted serious damage on American farmers and ranchers with its decisions in economic and political fields, especially in the trade war and military action against Iran. These decisions have not only increased costs and reduced income for this sector but have gradually pushed them towards supporting the Democrats.
Consequences of the Trade War
The trade war that Trump initiated with various countries, especially China, has had profound effects on American farmers. Heavy tariffs on agricultural products, such as soybeans, corn, and wheat, have led to reduced exports and a crisis in domestic markets. Many farmers who previously voted for Trump are now struggling with severe financial problems and feel that the government is not paying attention to their needs.

Anger and Discontent with the Government
As a result of this negligence, anger and discontent among farmers and ranchers have increased. Many of them have concluded that Trump's decisions have not only been against their interests but have severely worsened their situation. This group is gradually leaning towards the Democrats and seeking solutions from them that can alleviate their problems.
Moreover, Trump's illegal actions against Iran and their consequences on the global economy have also impacted this situation. These decisions have led to rising prices and instability in global markets, which in turn has affected the daily lives of farmers.
Given this context, the 2024 elections could be a turning point for farmers and ranchers. They are looking for elections where their representatives address their real needs and prioritize their problems. In the meantime, the Democrats are attracting this segment of society and are trying to win their votes by presenting programs to support farmers.
Ultimately, this situation will not only benefit the Democrats but could also lead to fundamental changes in the economic policies of the United States. Farmers and ranchers, once known as Trump supporters, are now recognized as a powerful force in the upcoming elections, which could change the fate of the election.
