Trump's Agriculture Secretary Called Out Over Farmer Fantasy

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has been called out for her claims that the Trump administration has made “great achievements” in her department, which will usher in the “golden age” of farming.

“70% of American farmers can’t afford fertilizer. Expensive fertilizer means less food for a higher price. Nothing about that sounds ‘golden’ to me,” Democrat Senator Mazie Hirono of Hawaii blasted on X Sunday in response to the boast.




The wake-up call came in response to Rollins’ appearance on Mornings with Maria on May 7, in which she was asked about Trump’s then-upcoming trip to China and what she would like to see “out of this meeting.”

Asked about whether the trip was being delayed, Rollins told Bartiromo “I would never jump infront of my boss,” before beginning to tout her team’s achievements.
