Yesterday I wrote about how Trump's trade war was hurting Kansas sorghum farmers. Today, Reuters has a great story/graphic showing ships wth U.S. sorghum literally stopping at sea due to new 178% tariff: reuters.com/article/us-usa…
Hug a Kansan!
Even better, here's a Bloomberg tracking map of one of those sorghum ships (the RB Eden), turning around in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Accompanying story here: bloomberg.com/news/articles/… (h/t @sjcasey)
Just learned how to track tanker ship on my Bloomberg terminal, if anyone wants me to look one up...⛴️

NEWS: I got hold of internal RNC poll @jmartNYT + @jonathanvswan wrote about and it's stunning: Trump's boast of a "red wave" has convinced many GOP voters House isn't at risk -- so they may not show up in Nov: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
@jmartNYT @jonathanvswan Also, the RNC poll finds Dems "hold a significant edge on both the generic Congressional ballot and 'campaign interest'" -- they lead the generic ballot by 9 points.
@jmartNYT @jonathanvswan one correction -- @jmartNYT/@alexburnsNYT 's piece referred to America First Policies, not RNC

UPDATE: China just stopped buying U.S. soybeans (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…). That's going to hurt the 30 pro-Trump districts in the map below -->
Per Bloomberg data, here are the 25 House members whose districts will suffer most
Another view of the damage, via @TheTerminal

With Trump's tariffs imminent, I did a deep dive for @BW on the congressional districts that will suffer most. One GOP strategist told me: "It’s like he’s micro-targeting policy to screw his own supporters.” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
I found a remarkable stat on how badly Trump supporters get hurt in a trade war if China retaliates with soy tariffs as threatened. Of the 30 House districts most reliant on soybeans, GOP reps 25 + Dems 5 -- but all 30 districts voted for Trump in '16 (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…)
One irony is that hardcore pro-Trump House Republicans, like @SteveKingIA, will suffer the most from Trump's actions -- and they know it. King told me "nobody" in his district thinks this'll turn out well for them

"Trump has used Harley-Davidson as an example of a US business that is being harmed by trade barriers. Yet Harley has warned consistently against tariffs, saying they would negatively impact sales"

Harley, hit by tariffs, shifts some production overseas apnews.com/6c8942f7363743…
Important issue highlighted by @riotwomennn: are tariff exemptions determined by bribes?

Corker: "22,000 companies have asked for exemptions.There is no basis to deal with them. Are they going to grant these exclusions based on political contributions?"
Trump’s trade war with the European Union is going to cost Harley-Davidson as much as $100 million a year and force the manufacturer to shift production out of the U.S. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

If you, like me, cannot point to a single thing @RepFrenchHill has done for the benefit of his constituents in #AR2 then you owe it to yourself and everyone else in the seven county area to vote for @clarketucker this November. #arpx #Vote #Midterms2018
.@RepFrenchHill has voted to end coverage for pre-existing conditions. He doesn't care whether or not you can afford to see a doctor, or even if your health insurance will cover a visit. He does not care about #Arkansans #AR2 #ByeFrench #VoteThemOut #arpx
.@RepFrenchHill supports @realDonaldTrump #ConcentrationCamps for migrant children, infants, and toddlers. He refuses to speak up about these egregious #HumanRights violations. #Arkansas deserves a better, more humane representative in #AR2 - @clarketucker is that person! #Vote

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
