Low soybean prices are good for people buying soybeans and bad for people selling them. High beef prices are the inverse of that.

The subsidies actively destroy small family farms, you are sort of correct about that.

It should not be the aim of foreign and trade policy to benefit any particular industry, but to benefit the US as a whole.

You are arguing for for crony-capitalism and are pretending to be upset that the president isn't making policies and decisions to directly benefit the people that voted for him.
