'Donald Trump literally only cares about himself,' a user blasted on X.
Elsewhere in his speech, Trump spoke to the farmers about recent fertilizer and energy prices soaring as a result of the U.S. conflict in Iran.
“We’re going to come out, and your fertilizer prices are going to go way down, just like they were four months ago,” Trump noted.“Your fertilizer is down, your energy is down, your oil, your gas, is all coming way down, and frankly I thought it would go much higher than it did."

Someone else fumed: "Trump does not think farmers have a nice safe life! He has so f----- with farmers. When a stinking politician can really f--- your life with their thoughtless c---, that is not safe. This man is a threat to farmers and should be treated as a threat. How do you treat a threat?"
"The average farmer probably sustains far more serious injuries on a weekly basis than Trump did to his ear," one added. "His ear wasn't pierced. Our agriculture industry is collapsing, people are losing their homes and livelihoods. He's referring to a scratch on his ear that disappeared in days."
