MAGAt Senators Have A Beef With Trump

 

The deranged Malignant Fascist's dealings with his odd Argentinian counterpart Javier Milei has caused some real dissension in the ranks of MAGA. First, it's the $20 $40 billion bail out of their economy, when our Government is shut down, and an imminent halt to SNAP payments and higher health insurance costs are creating a crisis for families here.  Then, his idea of buying Argentinian beef to flood the market here and lower prices has cattle farmers up in arms in a number of MAGAt states.  From Politico:

"For President Donald Trump, it was a brief musing to reporters on Air Force One about his plans to import beef from Argentina. For dozens of farm-state Republicans who have held their tongues as key Trump policies battered their constituents, it was the final straw.

GOP lawmakers in cattle-producing states unleashed a flurry of calls over the following days to the White House and Agriculture Department. A small group of Republican senators, including retiring Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, cornered USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins in a private meeting less than 48 hours after the Oct. 19 comment.

This could not go on, they argued.

So far, the burst of objections has not generated a U-turn from the administration, which is going ahead with a beef import plan that Trump officials argue will both lower steak and hamburger prices for American consumers and bolster relations with a key Trump ally, Argentinian President Javier Milei.

But it has exposed the limits of GOP lawmakers’ tolerance for policies that have especially tested states heavy on agriculture. Some of the president’s staunchest Hill allies watched for months as Trump’s tariffs devastated farmers. More recently, they begged his deputies to reopen key farm offices during the shutdown. Then came the beef beef, with one GOP senator granted anonymity to speak candidly calling it a 'a betrayal of America First principles.'”

To add insult to injury, the MF hit back at ranchers telling them they're better off now that he's President and to stop whining.  The term "FAFO" applies here, as the MF has been blithely sticking it to his nominal constituents in places like Iowa, Nebraska, Texas and more, and they're naively wondering what they did to cause their cult leader's betrayal.  Tip: it's because he's a megalomaniac and sociopath whose only concern is himself.

Meanwhile, the MF met with Chinese leader Xi in South Korea to sign a trade deal that, on the face of it, looks like the MF is going back to worse than the status quo was before his destructive tariffs.  Gone is the 100% tariff threat, while the MF begs Xi to buy our soybeans again, and suggests that highly valued, sophisticated NVIDIA chips be sold to China, in exchange for more of their rare earth elements.  They don't call him TACO for nothing.
