Washington DC – March 28, 2026
President Donald J. Trump delivered a fiery address to hundreds of American farmers gathered at the White House on March 27, 2026, declaring that Democrats have turned their backs on the nation’s agricultural heartland.
In his remarks, Trump highlighted major victories for farmers under his administration, most notably the elimination of the hated estate tax, often called the death tax. He stated that this reform has saved approximately two million American farms from extinction by allowing family operations to pass from one generation to the next without being destroyed by massive tax bills upon the death of the owner.
“Very importantly, we saved two million American farms from extinction by virtually ending the unfair estate tax,” Trump said. “We’ve ended the estate tax, or as they call it, the death tax.”
The President then delivered a blunt warning to the farming community: “No farmer should ever vote for any Democrat.”
He emphasized that every single Democrat in Congress voted against the provisions that delivered tax relief and protections to farmers. “Every single Democrat in Congress voted against all of the provisions I just mentioned, including the estate tax,” Trump declared. “Republicans stood strong and fought hard and got it done.”
Trump accused Democrats of being influenced by overseas special interests that benefit from policies harmful to American agriculture. He argued that Democrat opposition to pro-farmer legislation reveals their true priorities — favoring globalist agendas over hardworking American families who feed the nation.
The speech underscored a clear divide: while Republicans delivered historic relief by removing the death tax that threatened family farms, Democrats uniformly opposed these measures. Trump urged farmers to remember this betrayal at the ballot box.
With rising input costs and global challenges facing agriculture, the President positioned his administration as the unwavering champion of rural America.
