(WISCONSIN) — Ahead of Donald Trump Jr.’s visit to Rothschild, Wisconsin, Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesperson Tommy Kubitschek released the following statement: “Donald Trump Jr. coming to Wisconsin serves as another reminder of how horribly President Donald Trump has failed Wisconsin. For the last four years, Trump has gutted Wisconsin’s agriculture and manufacturing industries, attacked our health care, and failed to address a pandemic that is threatening our lives and our economy. Now, he thinks he can send his campaign cronies to divide and distract us from his complete negligence and failure of leadership, but nothing can hide the fact that we’ve

America has an obligation to uphold our promises to farmers and producers — but from illegally granted small refinery waivers to ill-advised trade wars, Donald Trump has launched a full-on assault on the ethanol industry. Nearly a year after reneging on his promise to restore the billions of ethanol gallons producers lost to Big Oil waivers, Trump has sat idly by as courts have ruled his Administration’s actions unlawful, and farmers who lost demand for one billion bushels of corn have watched prices collapse and markets dissipate. Let’s be clear: We know that at a moment’s notice, Donald Trump could
