Cattle ranchers are making less money in the US despite beef prices at an all-time high. In the meantime, Trump started importing beef from Argentina to lower beef prices, but only achieved to lower cattle prices.

Trump supporting cattle ranchers weren’t happy

    I hope you are right. I would love to eat my words.

    All I can do is report what i see with my own 2 eyes. The racism runs deep here and often has no opposing viewpoints in the small ranch towns on the west side of the state.

      I think it’s bad strategy that Donald has embraced the Biden/Harris playbook and just decided to outright ignore the affordability crisis.

      Red, Blue, doesn’t matter. I don’t think the cultist mentality of some will be enough to carry MAGA to victory in 2026 because you can’t propagandize around millions being unable to afford their rent and put food on the dinner table, as Biden/Harris learned in 2024. Back then, Donald was the candidate of change. This time around, he and the people he endorses will be the candidates of starvation.

        He was never going to help with that. He doesn’t need voters anymore. So the house goes blue in 2026. Who cares? He can still grift and tariff and make billions off market swings and back room deals.
