Somewhere in the "heartland"

Well, I know this can't be true:

 American farmers are attacking President Donald Trump in the wake of a new hit from China, which comes as part of the lingering trade war between the countries. 

Because I saw an Iowa farmer interviewed on MTP over the weekend, and he said he still supported Trump despite the fact agricultural trade with China was practically nil.

(I actually suspect the truth is somewhere in between, and it doesn't really matter what farmers think en masse in the long run, but media gotta narrative (is that a verb now?), just like Iowa caucuses gotta matter (even though they don't).)
