Trump Getting Stupid?

Bad enough that Trump is willing to overlook the EU's long-range missile attacks on Russia (designed to force America into the war).

Even worse that he displays his arrogant ignorance (NYC boy, you understand) about beef prices.

 

President Donald Trump says U.S. cattle ranchers are benefiting from tariffs he has imposed on imports but must lower prices to encourage American consumers to buy their beef.

Trump earlier this week said the administration was considering importing Argentine beef as a means of lowering record-high consumer beef prices. The suggestion angered U.S. ranchers. ...

..."The Cattle Ranchers, who I love, don't understand that the only reason they are doing so well, for the first time in decades, is because I put Tariffs on cattle coming into the United States, including a 50% Tariff on Brazil," Trump wrote in a post Wednesday, Oct. 22, on Truth Social. "They also have to get their prices down, because the consumer is a very big factor in my thinking, also!"  --AOSHQ quoting DesMoines Register.

 Trump tariffs, my ass.  The reason(s) that beef prices are high are feed prices partially caused by jamming corn into gas tanks rather than into beef cattle, innumerable EPA intrusions into ranching protocols, droughts affecting alfalfa supplies.....

Go back to building ballrooms.

And get the F*** OUT OF EUROPE.

You don’t even mention grass fed…. Corn Eaton straight acidifies the stomach of the cow and set the stage for E. coli infections

What we need is more fencing, and the farmers have destroyed it all So they can use bigger equipment

We need fences and smaller tractors and smaller farms

Then our beef prices will come down
