Farming is .8% of the GDP
Nearly every single ally is distancing themselves from us, especially on trade.
Our word is worth even less than it was before because we can just elect someone who unilaterally reverses course and breaks treatys at the drop of a hat.
Currently saber rattling to an absurd degree against countries that were close allies less than a year ago.
Economy as a whole is being destroyed to such a degree that the dollar will soon no longer be the world reserve currency, giving up yet more economic power and stability.
Complete gutting of science and medical funding which will put us decades behind research that we were in the forefront of.
Completely stopping investment into renewable energy, giving up the opportunity to be a world leader in the future of energy and thus just allowing ourselves to be left behind when the switch becomes impossible to prevent, which will probably devastate the economy further down the road yet again.
The only thing we will have is the military, and though I don't like how much we spend on it or anything, they're still fucking that up because cooties are gross.
The superpower thing has nothing to do with farming.
