For the record: I have zero sympathy for either these farmers or the Koch network.
Trump’s position on trade has been pretty damn clear and consistent dating back to the 80s.
Yeah, right-wingers like the Kochs have created their own political Frankenstein monster, and now that they can't control him or his base, and he's doing things they don't like, they're hitting the panic button. I'm glad they're criticizing Trump, but it's not as if they're some innocent victim or bystander. As for the farmers, as you said, if they'd just listened to him during the campaign and read his statements on trade, they would have known this was coming. I have a hunch that these two groups of Trumpites won't be the last to feel betrayed and abandoned and hurt by their hero-messiah figure before this is all over.
