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’m still a Trump supporter. I’m just not a happy Trump supporter.”

    Anybody who supports trump at this point is either brainless or heartless. Stopped reason after that. That means the guy is either completely uninformed, or he should say “I’m still a pedophile sympathizer”. Ergo, his opinion on the matter is completely worthless.

    Seriously most of these people…ranchers especially…are sitting there like Gilles Fucking Corey yelling out “more face-eating leopards”.

    Y’all need to go vegetarian in protest. Or at least give up red meat. Fuck this guy and fuck his industry.

      I gave up red meat, it’s not that hard. Honestly, I’m hoping the market will take this opportunity to come up with more decent vegan alternatives. I’d like to give meat up altogether but the products that are out there currently are pricier than red meat, ffs.

      These people would cut their own arms off if the people they don’t like would also lose a leg as a result.

    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.

    “guy who has proved he is bad at business does a bad business deal, his supporters suffer for it. More at 11.”

    Some of these ranchers are family, so blinded by fear of ethnic minorities and “them damn antifuh slurs” that they can’t see how their blind faith in orange man is actively hurting them. These guys are literally about to lose their ranch to a corporate firm who will almost certainly hire them again to tend it until they die at starvation wages. And when their kids refuse to take those reigns they’ll bring in the very ethnic minorities those idiots are terrified to do the work instead.

    As much as I love LAMF, I think it’s great that some of them are waking up, even if it’s only for selfish reasons, and even if they should have woken up before they voted the damn idiot in a second time.
