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

    Reuters spoke with a total of eight ranchers who said they still backed Trump, though he hurt prices for their cattle.

    Wilful stupidity when they vote. Wilful stupidity when they reap the consequences too. You’re supposed to learn something from FAFO.

    Have the life you voted for.

      Funny, my liberal blue ass is still doing okay in my blue city. Things are more expensive but overall not much has changed for me. Personally I voted blue to help those in need, expand snap, healthcare, and benefits even though in all likelihood I won’t need them.

      Meanwhile they voted to “own” me, whatever that means. I don’t feel owned, but as long as they feel better without those benefits I guess?
