Then look at the record. Trump's Agriculture Department paid $23 billion to farms and farmers to cover a trade war with China. That money ran through the Market Facilitation Program, funded under Commodity Credit Corporation authority. For 2019 the payment cap doubled to $250,000 per commodity type. GAO found $163.4 million went to 883 high-income farms and 1,164 farmers with adjusted gross incomes over $900,000. Historically underserved farmers got 3.6% of the money. Meanwhile, NBER-summarized research found the tariffs reduced real incomes by about $1.4 billion per month.
