If It Weren't for Me,' They'd Be Doing Terrible!': Trump Scolds American Cattle Ranchers to Lower Prices
"We would buy some beef from Argentina. If we do that, that will bring our beef prices down, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday. In the days since he made those comments, Trump has taken heat from both the cattle ranchers themselves and even some of his allies in Congress and the media. Why the actual FUCK would we buy Argentinian beef? asked an incredulous Tomi Lahren on Tuesday."
"Our AMERICAN ranchers are getting crushed already by cheap shit foreign beef imports. The meat packers are already under cutting our AMERICAN producers as it is. This is an OUTRAGE. Why the actual FUCK would we buy Argentinian beef? Our AMERICAN ranchers are getting crushed already by cheap shit foreign beef imports. The meat packers are already under cutting our AMERICAN producers as it is. This is an OUTRAGE."
"Eight House Republicans, meanwhile, signed on to a letter to Trump expressing their concern over the potential importation of foreign beef. While we recognize the importance of strong trade relationships and diverse markets, our producers are seeking clarity on how this decision will be made, what safety and inspection standards will apply, and how this policy aligns with your administration's commitment to strengthening American agriculture, wrote the GOP lawmakers."

Eight House Republicans signed a letter seeking clarity on how any import decision would be made, what safety and inspection standards would apply, and how the policy would align with commitments to U.S. agriculture.
