Warning ⚠️ this is a STEALTH BAILOUT for the MEAT COMPANIES . 🚨 It's a $555 million stealth subsidy to the multinational beef packing industry and fast food lobby
The administration is waiving $554.4 million in tariffs to funnel cheap, frozen beef to McDonald's, Wendy's, and Burger King, not to lower the price of ground beef at your local grocery store. The fast-food industry is facing severe margin compression and consumer pullback due to inflation. This executive order is a stealth bailout for Quick Service Restaurant corporate margins disguised as grocery price relief for working families. meat counter🚨

TRUMP is DELIBERATELY DESTROYING THE U.S. CATTLE HERD
The only way to rebuild a cattle herd is for ranchers to hold back heifers (young females) for breeding instead of sending them to slaughter. When ranchers do this, supply tightens and feedlot prices go up.🚨
If you flood the market with cheap imported beef (even for 90 days), what happens to US ranchers? Live cattle futures drop (NCBA CEO "cattle markets have already turned sharply lower this morning"). 🚨
Ranchers who are holding out, trying to rebuild the herd, see prices drop. Their margins, already squeezed by drought and feed costs, collapse. What do ranchers do when prices drop and feed is expensive? They liquidate the herd. They sell their cattle to slaughterhouses at lower prices to stop the bleeding. If ranchers liquidate, the US cattle herd gets EVEN SMALLER
🚨
Who controls the slaughterhouses? The "packer monopoly" as Sen. Tim Sheehy called it. JBS (Brazilian), Tyson, Cargill, National Beef. If domestic herd liquidates, ranchers sell off their cattle to the big packers. The packers get cheap domestic cattle. They pair it with the cheap imported beef from their parent companies or alliances abroad (JBS is Brazilian, they basically control the Brazilian meat export market). JBS stands to make an absolute killing. They can source cheap beef tariff-free from Brazil through their own supply chain, blend it with domestic beef, and sell it at a marginal discount while pocketing the massive tariff waiver savings. 🚨
And if the domestic herd drops further, eventually the US will be structurally dependent on imported beef forever. The US will lose its food security. If you destroy the domestic cattle herd, you consolidate power over the US meat supply into the hands of a few multinational monopolies (JBS, Brazilian-owned; Cargill; etc.). These monopolies can then dictate prices indefinitely. Meanwhile, Trump gets a temporary 25% optics drop in grocery store ground beef for the 60 days leading up to the November election. He saves the GOP House/Senate.
Once the domestic herd is liquidated (cows are slaughtered, they are dead) , it takes 3 to 5 years to rebuild a herd (gestation + raising to maturity).
So this 90-day window permanently sets back US beef independence by years. This is a massive transfer of wealth from US taxpayers to the meat packing monopoly and foreign agricultural giants (specifically JBS/Brazil).

CERN spent $13.25 billion to confirm the Higgs boson — a particle that exists for 0.00000000000000000000001 seconds.
Nobody questions that funding.
But if you suggest spending money to study whether the 10^113 J/m³ of vacuum energy can be extracted, you're a crackpot.
One confirms a theory. The other could power civilization.
Guess which one gets funded.
Swedish bible from the 1800's shows that Israel was not in the holy land. This was published before the Scofield bible, which tried to modify history and introduce Zionism to Americans.
CHEMTRAILS are causing all the droughts now.
They spray their fake clouds in other areas to drain the rain before it can reach the areas that they WANT TO BE IN A DROUGHT.
Just noting for those who think this is 'natural'.
In order to understand the Bolsheviks, you need to know who they were.
