Litttle buddy is so full of BS. Trumps tariffs have hurt the cotton industry. "Trump administration tariffs have significantly disrupted the U.S. cotton sector, particularly by escalating a trade dispute with major buyers like China. The subsequent retaliatory tariffs and shifts in global market dynamics have created major financial challenges for domestic farmers. hese trade barriers caused China's purchase of U.S. cotton to plummet from billions of bales annually to a fraction of that, resulting in an estimated $1.3 billion in annualized trade losses for U.S. beef and cotton exporters."
