Despite strong support for Donald Trump in western Ohio’s corn-growing regions, his nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head the Department of Health and Human Services raises concerns. Kennedy’s proposed ban on high fructose corn syrup and seed oils could significantly impact corn farmers, potentially displacing billions of bushels and drastically lowering prices. While immediate implementation is unlikely, the long-term effects remain uncertain, leaving farmers cautiously observing the situation. Many farmers prioritize a broader assessment of Trump’s administration rather than focusing solely on this one issue.

The Democratic Party faces a critical juncture, with both a rightward shift and a bolder leftward approach presenting significant challenges. Moving right risks abandoning core Democratic principles and ultimately aligning with pre-Trump Republicanism, a movement swiftly overcome by Trumpism itself. A leftward shift, while potentially appealing to a segment of the electorate, necessitates expansive spending and a robust administrative state, both currently under threat. Conversely, a Trump presidency faces inherent contradictions in its policy proposals, making many of its promises unfeasible and potentially exacerbating existing problems.

Michel Bérrios, a Nicaraguan political activist with temporary legal status in the U.S., chose to self-deport to Ireland before the inauguration of President Trump, fearing the return of anti-immigrant policies.

This “self-deportation” strategy allows Trump to achieve his immigration goals without the logistical challenges of mass deportations. Bérrios’s departure highlights the anxieties felt by many with temporary legal status, particularly those from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, whose statuses Trump has vowed to end.
