Did MAGA beef ranchers think that Trump tariffs would send China to the Aussies instead of the US for product... FAFO?

MAGA folk tend to avoid thinking

Speaking as an Australian, we fought side by side with Americans in WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan... and now Trump wants to slap tariffs on us. It seems unhinged.

[Asker]

It's beyond unhinged! It's absolute fv<k! ng insanity!!!

All will be revealed on Nov 3, 2026. President Trump is a lot smarter than he looks to you.

All those yokels are in FAFO stage. Fuck em!

Every single country that has traded with the US is making new deals with other countries trying to replace the US and diversify their trade. I don't see a lot of countries lining up to talk trade with the US but I see a lot of countries making trade deals with everyone but the US.

I don't think MAGA people think in globalist terms. Different criteria and values there. Of course they're missing the big picture. They're not interested in it. They want to make the picture smaller, controllable.

[Asker]

MAGA US beef ranchers may not think in globalist terms, but they do look at their bank accounts!

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

I kinda like that localist vision even at cost to bank accounts. Have you seen some of Helena Norberg Hodge's speeches? She makes a lot of sense to me. I don't think we can scale human endeavors that well (ex: a movie typically doesn't improve if you assign two or more directors).

We have to be willing to die for a more localized economy though. It's not going to be painless.

It is more about opening up the Australian market for US beef.

[Asker]

No, dumbass! That market is being opened up for the Chinese! Can you read?

[exitseven]

I can read but the reality is that Trump is trying to get Australia to drop it's tariffs on American beef so our ranchers can access that market.

[Asker]

Tariffs won't work! The Aussies are not going to move an inch because US beef also doesn't meet their biosecurity standards. China and Australia are winning. US is losing... which means American farmers are losing. US is finding out that they're not the only game in town. People with brains and money are seeing through Trump's bullshit. MAGAs will blindly follow him over the cliff. Republicans like ultra conservative Chuck Grassley - Iowa (mucho farmers) want to rein in Trump's tariff powers so Congress can have a say so before he completely wrecks the world economy!

[exitseven]

US is winning. over a hundred countries have lined up to negotiate with the US.

[Dargil]

Only long term results matter. We all get to decide at the midterms.

[Syntosi]

Man, you must be a masochist. The long-term results are going to be even worse. You sure you want a bigger slap in the face?

[Dargil]

@Syntosi All will be revealed on Nov 3, 2026. President Trump is a lot smarter than he looks to you.

[Syntosi]

Sure it will bud. I am sure daddy Trump has everything under control and you dont have to worry about a thing little Jimmy.

[Dargil]

@Syntosi FEEL THE HATE!

Oh no, now American beef will be cheaper for Americans? Whatever shall we do?

[Asker]

Ok, since you're an idiot, I will try to explain. When American farmers lose export contracts (China 3rd largest) and are forced to lower prices while their expenditures stay the same or increase, American farmers get screwed. What do they do now, ask the orange wizard for government subsidies? Oh yeah, I'm sure that DOGE will get right on that!!!

[seeyounexttuesday]

Wait you think the prices they were selling beef to China for are equivalent to what they are selling beef to US markets for?

[Asker]

I simply can't get over how profound your ignorance of basic economics! Go back to school... if you ever went to school! Go find American ranchers who are popping open the champagne over this!!!

[seeyounexttuesday]

So your concern is for giant billion-dollar conglomerates over the American consumer?

[Asker]

I defend American farmers and workers. They are getting screwed. Trump is telling them just deal with the pain. It will get better soon. That's a blatant and cruel lie!

[seeyounexttuesday]

Are they getting screwed by Australia who refuses to import US beef?

[Anonymous]

American beef farmers are happy about this.
