    “The Cattle Ranchers, who I love, don’t understand that the only reason they are doing so well, for the first time in decades, is because I put Tariffs on cattle coming into the United States,” Trump wrote in his Wednesday post.

    Despite days of verbal clashes between president and ranchers, the White House on Wednesday confirmed plans to quadruple the tariff-rate quota for beef imports from Argentina. The same day, the Department of Agriculture announced an action plan to support domestic cattle ranchers.

    Unironically everybody involved in this are fucking morons. Trump saying to buy Argentine beef while raising tariffs. Ranchers complaining while prices skyrocket and he raises tariffs. It’s really really dumb.
