Congressman Cramer Calls on Ag Secretary to Protect Farmers During Trade Uncertainty

Yesterday Democratic House candidate Mac Schneider was on my radio show and was tough on Trump on this issue. And you know what? Outside of a bit of exaggeration no doubt driven by partisan politics, he’s not wrong.
