Pro-Trump farmer in Missouri faces losing his farm after federal freeze, says he “didn’t have time to research” before voting (wtfdetective.blog)

A Missouri cattle farmer is facing financial ruin after the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) froze funding for key conservation programs, despite previously signed contracts with the government.

The freeze, part of the Trump administration’s sweeping federal review of spending programs, has left Skylar Holden, a first-generation farmer, scrambling to save his land.

Holden, who voted for President Donald Trump, had signed a $240,000 contract with the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) to improve water lines, fencing, and wells on his farm.

It might be something like:

Not saying i agree with him, but it sounds like he was saying he felt certain issues were more important than others which led him to believe that Trump was his candidate.

For example, he was led to believe through propaganda that illegal immigrants coming over the border selling drugs and eating cats and dogs was a higher priority than let's say taxing billionaires (who are the ones eating the cats and dogs it turns out) into oblivion, and the quiz spit out that he should then for for Trump.
