“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, including a 50 percent Tariff on Brazil. If it weren’t for me, they would be doing just as they’ve done for the past 20 years – Terrible! It would be nice if they would understand that, but they also have to get their prices down, because the consumer is a very big factor in my thinking, also!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Wednesday, then adding “In addition to everything else, Tariffs on other Countries SAVED our Cattle Ranchers!” in a subsequent post, as if to convince himself he’s right.

Problem is that the pharmaceutical-brained fucking idiot forgot the only reason he put those tariffs on Brazil is because of the charges against his thinner and less bald mini-me Jair Bolsonaro for attempting to overturn his 2022 election loss which did jack shit to stop him from being convicted and sentenced to 27 years in prison where he’s going to rot until some right wing government comes into power and frees him. It was a political fuck you that had nothing to do with protectionism.

Considering that he can’t even understand why he punished Brazil – which is probably going to backfire by stirring up nationalism, keeping the left in power and Bolsonaro behind bars – it does not seem likely that domestic ranchers are going to understand, nice as that would be for Donald.
