His disgusting, vile post portraying farmers, a noble and essential occupation, as some sub-human species is something a person resembling a certain anal orifice would do.

253 million acres devoted to crops in the United States.The Chinese own 0.0004 of that amount. Foreign investors own about 5 million acres of cropland,about 2 %.Just under 8,000 square miles or about the size of Delaware and Connecticut combined.
The time to get concerned is when foreigners DON'T want to invest in the United States

I should cancel a 5 year lease because Trump started a trade war and farmers don't have markets for their produce?

If farmers are not being hurt by the trade war, why is Trump spending $16 billion to bail them out?

Speak for yourself. But apparently they are a lot smarter than Trump if they are conning him for $16 billion. Not hard to figure out who are the real stable geniuses.
