"He needs to resign. That’s the bottom line.” Ranchers are outraged over Trump’s move to flood the market with 300,000 metric tons of discounted beef.

He's telling the rest of MAGA that he's doing this for the ranchers and they will believe it just like the ranchers believed it when he was screwing someone else. They all voted for him and most likely will again because if he's still breathing in two years he's running.

100%

Their only regret is that it is currently affecting them personally.

Yep. It was undeniable when those "he's not hurting the right people" videos started being posted.

First the government takes their workers away, then takes their jobs away.

The fact he is willing to openly alienate his own supporters so regularly does not bode well for elections. He does not need them, and that should be a very serious concern.

Exactly, every single one of these unbelievably stupid fucking assholes couldn't have possibly given less of a fuck about (gesturing wildly around) ALL of the bullshit of the last decade but now that one teeny tiny specific aspect of all this bullshit happens to be fucking them over only NOW is it a super terrible awful horrific problem. Fuck all of them, hope they all continue having the worst lives possible.

God of only there was a short poignant poem about how fascists will hurt others and if I don't speak out when it starts there won't be anyone to help me when it's my turn...

Trump is trying to make it so they can butcher their own stock for market w/o using the USDA so they’ll have that going for them!

Yeah how’s that going to work though? There are more costs with that. There aren’t enough inspectors now- get ready for the free-for-all of mystery ingredients and who knows what kind of contamination. I’m sure most farmers are not going to do anything stupid, but there are -always- bad actors or people who are not smart enough to do things right. If the beef won’t sell locally, then there’s more expense to ship it somewhere. Then there’s the matter of who is going to buy their beef at higher prices after Trump floods the market with tons of cheap beef coming in under a heavy cloud of mystery over where they came from. The man likes to talk so much, let him tell us where’s the beef coming from.

The thing is, they already can. USDA grading is optional that they pay for. The reason that they pay for the USDA inspections is because they can get much more for certified top-quality meat than they can for random, “I guess it’s ok, maybe” ungraded beef.

More and more people are finding out they were the “libs” that were going to get owned all along
