Also, shut up you piece of shit
Beef prices have been strong since Covid. As usual old Donny is utterly full of shit.
Republicans will do everything but do an antitrust breakup of tyson and cargill
yoooo if we get MAGA to turn against cattle ranchers that might actally be huge for american politics in the long term
AKA "Mu votas moa dumb dan mee!"
Why are they complaining? The President, who they voted for and who they have been supporting all the way up until now, said they are doing "so well, for the first time in decades"...
Double hypen, did he get ai to write this?
Um, guys, I use double hyphens--am I an LLM?
You can't just assume every block of text with an em-dash is from an LLM... This is Trump's (media coordinator's) signature style.
was his signature style established before or after the adoption of llm’s?
...before

Hm let’s check the cattle production statistics to check this
https://esmis.nal.usda.gov/concern/publications/h702q636h
Oh huh weird that’s the link from “cattle” stats but sure… let’s search up cattle info from September before the shutdown…

Oh total exports down 9%…. Total imports UP 30%
Yeah… I’m sure that’s… good…
You mean to tell me that Trump is wrong and the opposite of what he said is actually correct? That checks out.
He even lies about the reason for the 50% tariff on Brazil. It wasn't due to the trade deficit, as the US has had a trade surplus with Brazil for many years (https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2025/10/17/brazil-exports-fall-us-traiffs/3781760711705/).
It was purely politically motivated, as right around the time that the tariff was about to be placed, Bolsonaro's son, whose dad was in the process of being judged for his treason and attempted murder attempts, went to the US to cry about it with Trump. (https://www.france24.com/en/americas/20250719-bolsonaro-s-son-known-as-number-3-pushes-for-us-pressure-on-brazil)
Ofc a fascist defends another, and to punish Brazil for its actions he placed that tariff. He also attempted to invalidate the entire country's sovereignty by classifying the PCC (a gang) as a terrorist organisation, which would allow the US to march into the country with impunity (https://www-theguardian-com.translate.goog/world/2025/may/07/brazil-gangs-terrorist-designation-pcc-comando-vermelho?_x_tr_sl=en&_x_tr_tl=es&_x_tr_hl=es&_x_tr_pto=tc and literally what's happening RIGHT NOW in Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela). IN ADDITION, he also tried to fine Brazil by classifying PIX, the national payment system, as a way for crime to propagate in South America and the US, while the real reason was that he disliked the strength of the BRICS in standing against the usage of Visa and MasterCard's duopoly as well as the global dependence on SWIFT (https://restofworld.org/2025/pix-brazil-us-investigation-digital-payments/).
That's not how tariffs work, Donald.
Donald's tariffs, like Donald, do not work.
That's not how anything works!
Those darn cattle ranchers, always complaining about doing well.
Why are Tariff and Terrible capitalized (and probably some other words)?
Republican red hat snowflakes.
Because the grammar is a very big factor in the language, also!
