But it’s not just the tariffs that are squeezing his budget. Hartman admits that nearly half of his business comes from selling honey to the federal government for use in food banks and at schools as part of a program that was suddenly halted by the Department of Agriculture (USDA) without any warning as part of its efforts to streamline government spending.

Mr GOP Beekeeper, when trump talks about eliminating "waste" I hope you now see he's talking about you. To trump you are the waste.

"...he does not blame Trump personally for the economic downturn..."

I don't think he learned anything.

Yeah but just think of all the libs he owned. Shame the same can't be said of his business.

I am owned, so owned. He sure taught me a lesson.

Nope. They deserve the day they voted for.

I’m sad… that it’s only half his business and not every last penny.

"stuff like this is pushing me left"

If it hadn't already pushed him left, he's still hopeless.

“Stuff like this is pushing me left,”

Thought you could get the racism/sexism along with sensible economic policies? GL bro, hope you end up living in a cardboard box by the river.

This guy better sprinkle a bit more of that honey on Trump's ass because the taste isn't going to get much better 🤡

“I never thought”, the beekeeper told CNN.

You probably shouldn't be so supportive of cutting government spending if you're the one they're spending on. They're not exactly going to cut down on their buddies' contracts first.

I bet that stings a bit.

Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.

Can't wait for climate change to kill off the rest of his bees.

Good. Live shamed, die empty.

Well that's too bad. ANYWAY . . .
