    President Trump lands in New Orleans

    Trump promised he would never leave the White House during the government shutdown- saying he did not want to appear "insensitive". This is his third trip out of town since. He flew to Iraq over Christmas and was in Texas last week. He has also been to Camp David. Before he left, he tweeted that he was on his way to Nashville instead of New Orleans.

    NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) -President Trump has landed in New Orleans to speak at the American Farm Bureau Federation convention.

    Trump is expected to take part in the convention’s closing general session, according to Farm Bureau spokesperson Shiloh Perry.

    His visit comes on the 24th day of the government shut down.

    The president’s visit will impact traffic in the Central Business District.

    Convention Center Boulevard, from Julia Street to Henderson Street will be closed to vehicular traffic from 5:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. to accommodate the president’s visit.

    Drivers are encouraged to take other routes into and out of the Central Business District during this period.

    TRUMP: “I haven’t actually left the White House in months. …And I’ve been here virtually every night, I guess every night other than one day I flew to Iraq and then to Germany to see our troops. …I’m not even sure I actually missed a night, per se. But basically, I’ve been here for many months in the White House.” — interview Saturday night with Fox News.

    I do not know why he would stay in DC unless it is to lock them all out and make sure they can never return.

    Trump Promises More Labor to Farms Reliant on Immigrants (but does not elaborate on how). Expanding immigration quotas?

    Other farmers are more concerned with securing sufficient labor from south of the border.

    "You need people to help you with the farms," Trump conceded. "I'm going to make that easier."

    He did not elaborate.
    Net farm income fell an estimated 12 percent last year. And it's down about 40 percent from its peak in 2013.

    "We've got to get the farm economy booming again, not only for the farmers and ranchers but when our folks are prospering, that helps our industry sector partners," said Dale Moore, executive vice president of the Farm Bureau Federation.

    The drop in farm income is partly a result of cyclical factors including over-production and a resulting drop in commodity prices. But Trump has added to farmers' woes by picking trade fights with China, Mexico, Canada and the European Union.

    Trump's withdrawal from an Asia-Pacific trade deal has put U.S. exporters at a disadvantage in markets such as Japan. And other countries have imposed retaliatory tariffs on a wide variety of farm produce.

    Trump tried to reassure his audience that his aggressive trade policies will soon pay off.

    "We are fixing broken trade deals that are horrible," Trump said. "Many, many new markets are being opened up."

    China, which had been a major purchaser of U.S. soybeans, all but stopped buying last year in retaliation for Trump's tariffs. There are signs of a thaw, however, as trade talks with China continue.
    The shutdown isn't helping either. Farmers are unable to get loans if they need them because lending is shut down. Data which helps them plan like crop reports are also delayed by the shutdown- that makes it harder to plan for next year.

    Trump devoted much of his speech to the ongoing stalemate over the border wall, a fight that has shuttered parts of the federal government, including much of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

    "The USDA is doing everything in its power to help farmers deal with the ongoing shutdown," Trump said, even as crop forecasts have been delayed by the standoff and Farm Service Agency offices around the country are closed.
