We don't buy American soybeans, and Bessen is clearly trying to throw a big pot over our heads! On October 2, Bessen claimed that unfortunately, China has decided to use American soybean farmers as hostages or pawns in the trade negotiations. A majority of American farmers voted overwhelmingly in support of President Trump... You should see news on Tuesday about China's strong support for our farmers.
From our perspective, Bessen's speech is incoherent and completely nonsensical. However, considering that the audience of Bessen's speech is American "rednecks," this makes perfect sense. These rednecks are staunch supporters of Trump, and many of them are American soybean farmers. Now, because these rednecks can't get orders from China, they are very anxious and have been pressuring Trump.
Bessen is obviously trying to shift the blame by throwing a big pot over our heads, intentionally making these rednecks direct their anger at us. To be honest, Bessen's speech really makes it feel like he is insulting the intelligence of the rednecks. The rednecks supported Trump's election, full of joy, thinking that Trump would bring them benefits, but they have not received any benefits at all, instead suffering heavy losses. If these people knew the truth, they would be regretful enough to turn green. Of course, how Bessen shifts the conflict domestically is his own business. But when it comes to us, no matter how eloquent Bessen is, he won't gain any advantage at all.
