  1. “These ungrateful ranchers can’t even enjoy a bankruptcy like I do! I don’t see what the problem is!” -Donald Trump (probably)

  2. So Cattle Ranchers are too dumb to see that being held hostage to force down their wholesale prices in a market of increasing costs is for their benefit!

    Oh how silly of them to not see that! Trump truly is a genius.

    >But cattle ranchers, and the rest of America, see Trump’s offer for what it really is: part of a hefty package of handouts the U.S. president has pledged in the hopes of buying Argentine President Javier Milei a victory in the country’s upcoming election.

    >The National Farmers Union observed that Trump’s tariffs on soybeans have sent China into the arms of Argentina, which had already received a massive bailout from the U.S. government. “The last thing we need is to reward them by importing more of their beef,” the union said in a statement.

    >The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association slammed Trump’s plan Monday, pointing out that in the last five years, Argentina has sold more than $801 million of beef into the U.S. market, compared to more than $7 million that American cattle ranchers had sold to Latin American nation.

    >And Farm Action, an agricultural watchdog group, called the plan “a betrayal of the American rancher,” lamenting that “after crashing the soybean market and gifting Argentina our largest export buyer, [Trump is] now poised to do the same to the cattle market.”

  4. Ah yes, nothing says “America First” like importing someone else’s cows. Quite touching really, watching patriotism get outsourced.

    Trump is gutting military jag replacing with bootlickers it is a coup it is our military not his release the pedo files!

  6. If I was conspiracy minded, I’d almost say Trump’s handlers have him doing this to destroy the United State’s ability to grow our own food, manufacture our own equipment, or be self-sufficient in every way. Even our energy dependence is going to explode as fossil fuels fail and our grid slowly dies.

    The preppers were right…

  7. Classic narcissist tactic.

    Break your promises and then tell the person/people you made your promises to that they’re “ungrateful” and you’re just “trying to help” and this is all for their benefit, not yours. Add extra points if you specifically asked them to *not* do the thing they are calling you ungrateful for, or if they have done this to you multiple times.

  8. Time for farmers to pull themselves up by their bootstraps or whatever the republicans say nowadays

  9. wtf did Argentina give to trump? this has to be a bribe. I doubt he even knows where it is

    Trump has been stiffing employees/contractors for decades now. Why anyone would trust that man with anything but violent retribution is beyond me.

  11. They are ungrateful. I don’t recall them saying “thank you” once to the administration for destroying their lives. Bunch of ungrateful cow people.

  12. Man. Fancy wagyu aside, if there’s one thing the United States should never need to import, it’s fucking beef. 

  13. Middle America – you got what you voted for! You believed his lies. Now, help the rest of us get rid of him. Flip the Congress in 2026.

  14. They have nothing to be grateful for. If you voted for imaginary issues and Trump you’re the problem.

  15. they should be grateful, he’s done most of what he promised. maybe they should have paid attention to his campaign

  16. So the guy who oronsied to save American farmers is not importing beef from Argentina? You can’t make this stuff up

  17. FieldMouseMedic on

    Putting the needs of another country above those of his own people yet again. I’m convinced more and more every day that Trump has a genuine hatred for this country.

  18. As always, Trump proves his would-be narcissism diagnosis. Everyone who’s had an NPD partner/friend/parent is getting chills.

  19. And the ranchers will still be frothing at the mouth ready to vote Republican when the time comes.
