Paradoxically I’m increasingly believing in two things at the same time:

Gov. Pritzker: Trump doesn't care about rural communities. He's only guided by two things—his personal greed and his massive ego. His selfishness has driven our nation into a war with Iran, a trade war, and a war on working families.

Sen. Klobuchar: Trump's trade war with Canada is devastating to our farmers and ranchers. Their export markets are devastated, and then their input costs like fertilizer and gas are also hit. Trump has created this horror show.
