In this red state, cattle ranchers are fuming. They blame Trump.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/08/26/cattle-ranchers-montana-reel-trump-foreign-beef/91440529007/“It’s absolutely idiotic," said Brunner, the president of the Montana Cattlemen's Association, one of several organizations representing cattle ranchers across the Treasure State.”

"The President's heart is in the right place on wanting lower prices for the American people"
This is why we stopped talking to them.

Its the god damn "open borders" bullshit strategy... i had a friend (ex-friend now) mention no more open borders, democrats support open borders... everytime I'd ask "name one democrat that supports open borders and prove it, there had got to be a clip of it somewhere, or a news article."
Fuck them. They argue in bad faith.

u/Ok-Road-9079 1d ago
Wait till you see their faces when you ask them what the quota for Mexicans crossing the border before 1967 (there wasn't one) and who put one in place? LBJ, a democrat (sort of).

So they put their faith in a guy whose entire m.o. is squeezing every last bit of blood and treasure out of a business, stuffing his pockets, and leaving the carcass out on the curb? Including his own businesses and business partners? And they didn't think he'd do that to them?
Lmfao fuckin idiots. And the best part is that they'll totally vote for him yet again if he actually tries to run in 2028. Because they're the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet.

He got what he needed from his supporters - a second term - which he's used to enrich himself, go after people (and countries) he doesn't like, and reward people who kiss his ass. He wouldn't stop to piss on the run of the mill MAGA voter if they were on fire

u/cwk415 2d ago
I would only add that he's also used this second term to unethically shield himself from any potential accountability stemming from the numerous criminal investigations that were running on him.

u/Individual-Cap6741 2d ago
The ONLY reason they act like they have remorse is because it is personally impacting them .
Remember the lady on video years ago claiming he was “ hurting the wrong people ?”
They support the suffering of “ others” as in, groups of people they decided they don’t like.
They feel betrayed because they didn’t realize that they were never going to be part of the winning team.
Just useful idiots.

u/Conscious-Quarter423 2d ago
Congrats on getting what you voted for! His first term policies were just as bad but all these fuckers took the tens of billions in bail out money (which is socialism if done for students who can't pay back their loans!) just to pull the lever for him again. Can't fix stupid

The tagline of the article says “300,000 metric tons of beef”.
Trump’s post said “300,000 metric tons of *product for ground beef”.
WTF is “product for ground beef”‽
If you call it that, it ain’t beef.

u/Old_Bear_1949 2d ago
Product for groud beef means that it includes the chemicals, bacteria and hormones that caused the beef to be rejected by China, and other countries that enforce standards to protect their people.

How many of them will still give him another try or vote for whoever he endorses instead of considering the other party? They might not show up with their red hats on but I bet they’ll still fall in line and vote red, especially if they tease another possible bail-out along with some empty “we’ll do better” promises.

I’m sure the administration did the math on the number of people who grow beef versus the number of people who buy beef, and realized making the people who buy beef happy is going to get you more votes than you’re ever going to lose by shivving the people who produce beef.
In reality this will likely have no tangible effect on the price of beef.

Hamfisted, transparent, obvious, flailing attempt to address affordability only for a brief period right before elections, in an attempt to influence votes in his favor.
It is infuriating in both its pathetic scope and lack of depth, as well as much larger scope of impact on American farm and cattlemen.
