    To summarize, according to Trump:

    1. Ranchers are doing better than they have been for 20 years because of his tariffs since his tariffs slowed down buying beef from other places.

    2. But those same ranchers need to lower their prices.

    3. So we’re going to buy beef from other places to lower prices.

    It’s almost like we’re going right back to where we were!

    Ranchers definitely do not understand tariffs, if they did they wouldn’t have overwhelmingly voted for Trump and Republicans. It’s not like there was any kind of secret about the plan to impose tariffs on Americans, Trump couldn’t even answer a question about childcare without mentioning tariffs during the campaign. Now ranchers are feeling the consequences of their vote and we get to hear their “he’s hurting the wrong people” bullshit, like they didn’t choose to do this to themselves.

      I saw a video from a farmer who said they knew Trump was going to screw them, but that he’d bail them out afterward. They were after that sweet, sweet taxpayer cash.

        And they get to hold on to that family land that’s now worth millions of dollars. How fun for everyone else paying for their family wealth, while they vote for people screaming that everyone else that’s not them is lazy and freeloading off the government teat…

          How else are they going to “own the libs” while grinning about ICE tackling brown people and disappearing them?

    They don’t understand how the tariffs helped them because the tariffs DIDN’T help them.

    What a narcissistic shit bag. Nothing is ever his fault. He is always right, and everyone else is always wrong.

      That’s how he gets to make an idiotic hat for his followers to put on their heads so they can identify themselves with the modern dunce cap: “Trump was right about everything”.

      Farmers are pretty smart on trade matters. They don’t have the option of endlessly bullshitting and failing upwards.

    I feel so sorry for trump on how all the experts don’t know their expertise as well as trump. These so called experts could never make profit from underpants.
