WE knew it was coming. The WSJ knew it was coming. The Trump administration? I'm not so sure.

Miller: Hey, Donald, there are a few hundred angry farmers from around the country gathering in front of the Agriculture Department.

Trump: Huh? What for?

Miller: They are pissed about the effects of our tariff policy on China.

Trump: Why? They aren't importing any food from China, so what do they care?

Miller: Well, no, they aren't buying food from the Chinese. But it has to do with Soybeans.

Trump: Soybeans? Whose Soybeans? Our Soybeans?

Miller: Yes. The Chinese are pissed about our tariffs, so they don't want our Soybeans.

Trump: So fire Soybeans, and let someone else handle it!
