a Trump-Supporting farm is upset Trump recommending Americans to buy beef from Argentina

“We love you and support you.”

Americans are not real people.

More real than I care to admit.
Do I not bleed?
If it helps, Catharine O’Neill Gillihan was who wrote this and she was in Trump’s State Department and USAID in his first term.
It does make me feel a tad better. Thanks, lol.
It’s his own ‘Let them eat cake’ moment

We understand

No the fuck you don’t.

...i am voting for the face-eating-leopard party...why are these leopards eating my face?..
...those idiots in the streets have been screaming about the leopards for years, but i was not affected...
...the rich and affluent people with fences and guns were not hurt by the leopards, and they promised we would not be hurt by the leopards...
....why would the leopards attack me instead of the people with guns and money?..
Apparently Meriwether Farms was started by Catharine O’Neill Gillihan who was a member of the State Department and USAID under Trump in his first term.
This begs the question: has POTUS considered face-meat as a potential substitute for beef?
...no need, buying beef from Argentina...
Somebody call Trump and tell him to go to jail
Well when all is said and done I know to never buy from Meriwether Farms again. I love when these fascist supporters own businesses I can boycott.
The leopards are circling!
“We’re a symbol of independence… Also feed me more boot please!” These people deserve every single thing they’re getting.
Has any real human being ever said, truthfully, that they “love” a politician they have never met? That’s fuckin weird. But yeah… Trumpers.

We love you and support you.

Well, there’s your problem. Until you fix that, I think I’m going to just disregard the rest of those words you wrote.

For some god damned reason I read them. Its well explained point of corporations aligning with politicians to outsource everything in search of wider profit margins, leaving our own industries to atrophy.

But yeah they voted for this, so, fuck em.

You know, I really wouldn’t say fuck 'em if they weren’t showing with their first six words that they have learned absolutely fucking nothing - and in my way of seeing things, people who refuse to learn have nothing to teach me.
Their whole identity is tied to tRump and MAGA. To admit he is anything less than omnipotent is to lose themselves and their identity. It’s why you’d have better luck breaking people of this hold by not conflating their decision making with his actions, instead pointing out how his actions are hurting all of us.
This idiot’s words are actually too intelligent for Trump.

A handful of multinational processors—most notably Brazil’s JBS USA (a subsidiary of JBS S.A.), Brazil‑based Marfrig and Minerva, and China‑owned WH Group (owner of Smithfield Foods)—control roughly half of U.S. beef‑packing capacity.

Two Brazilian companies and a Chinese company. Really odd to refer to that as ‘BRICS aligned’ whatever that means in this context.

Brazil Russia China India

Sure but what does invoking Russia and India accomplish here?

Why not just name the countries involved directly?

ChatGPT is about to have a feast of ‘obsequious pleading’ genre to train on.

the American people don’t even know these products are foreign because they are allowed to be marked as “Product of the USA”.

That can’t be true, right?

Why wouldn’t it be? Probably some game like importing a side of beef and cutting it up in the US, poof “Product of America”
Hey now, im sure they pump it with american made brine.

Depends on what the US law is. In Canada this has been big news since our ally betrayed us. Product of Canada is 98%+ Canadian, Made in Canada is 51%+ but below 98% Canadian. Packaged in Canada is basically getting a vat of oj brought in and poured into containers in Canada.

US companies have been slapping similar looking stickers with a maple leaf and “Canada’s favorite” type labeling to trick consumers who don’t pay much attention. Our grocery monopoly has also been labeling bins of produce as ‘product of Mexico/USA, product of Brazil/USA’’ etc, mixing produce together to sell US shit.

Based on what we’ve been seeing down south, flat out lying to US citizens is completely on brand, and I’d honestly be surprised if that wasn’t the case here.

Some beef is allowed to be labeled “USDA Beef” even if the cow involved has spent 95% of its life overseas. So during its early life, the cow can be fed unapproved hormones, antibiotics and exposed to unhealthy environments because those countries have no laws saying you CAN’T do that.

It’s a way for big companies to do an end run around US health and safety laws.

One of our most powerful lobbies and corrupt industries is Food marketing and labeling.
The fact that they still love him shows that they are not any smarter than their livestock. Those cows happily follow their master to the slaughterhouse.
^ This analogy is sound.
You love your president? Like love love? Gross. Simp. It’s giving beta male.
Sorry Trump and his administration probably can’t read, have you try appealing to them with fake AI videos?
Could modify the one where he’s flying over and dumping shit, but when it cuts to the people they are farmers and ranchers.

“would”…

He already betrayed them…

These idiot farmers still think trump is on their side. trump only cares about money and himself, nothing else. we’ve all had to deal with trumps bullshit for nearly a decade now, and these slow learners still haven’t figured it out yet.

I know, Godwin’s law, yada yada.

But I still feel I can compare Trump to Hitler, I’m German after all. Trump is a demagogue, Hitler was a demagogue. Both check all the boxes (see this list).

And to me, this message sounds just as bizarre as “Dear Führer, we love you and support you, but we think the war you wage on the world will ultimately destroy us all.”

Demagogue - Wikipedia

The"influence of CCP" tells everything about how badly informed and alienated americans are…

China literally does own Smithfield farms, which is a massive pork producer for the US. And yes the CCP is not just minding its own business, they do a lot of shady shit.

Two things can be right, leopards are fat at this point on maga idiots, and china does a lot of shady shit in foreign countries, not just the USA.

Just a reminder lemmy has alot of CCP shills.
Most of the tankies have stayed on .ml though, it’s like they’re being told to spread out now. Seeing them constantly from db0 and sh.it is getting weird.
i got banned from sh.it because i talked against tankies.
Yea wouldn’t surprise me
I haven’t seen a single person unequivocally praise the CCP.
you will run into it eventually.
I think it’s more people think they need a shadowy enemy to make a point. Or to a shadowy enemy to blame when someone doesn’t entirely disagree with them.
lemmy.ml and other explicitly leftist instances have a lot of this. That said I think people do exaggerate how bad the CCP is, especially compared to Trumpist America.
Ah tankies, the only people besides conservatives that unironically believe Russia and China are actually communist.
Mostly Russia dickriders that I’ve seen, but there’s plenty of pro China propaganda on here, usually cultural and economic.
Love and support? Ew.

Any other politician throughout modern political history would have their disappointed voters start something like this with “I voted for you but…”

I know I’m not saying what hasn’t been said a million times by now but it’s just so fucking weird.

The president isn’t your child. You don’t need to show them unconditional love. You’re allowed to criticise them without prefacing that you still love them.

no politicians i can think of only cult leaders

The president isn’t your child.

Maybe not yours, but he is a child.

If you mean, by “a child”, the Antichrist, then yes.
