By that admission, it stands to reason that all tariffs are a tax on Americans.
Not surprised by that lack of foresight.

No, it’s only on their love. It’s their hate he wants.

Discount Trump brand ground beef.
Just say that every time you think you’re hungry.

Oh and it's ground beef. So less identifiable as beef at all.

And now we know what happened to the wild horses.

TRUMPBurgers™ are only slightly less than 50% horse meat which according to TRUMPLaw™ means we don't have to say it on the packaging and so what you said is TRUMPDefamation™ because it hurts Trump's TRUMPFeelings™ so prepare to get TRUMPSued™ (and/or possibly TRUMPDeported™)!

This is Donald Trump we’re talking about.
He’ll just sign an executive order officially renaming horesemeat to be called American Beef.

Doesn't this just hurt small farmers, because now they are forced to sell their beef below market price, causing them to lose money?

Ground "beef".
Trump just signed off on wild horses to be sold off for slaughter. I can hear RFK salivating from here.

I mean horse meat is delicious.

Slaughtered horse is too fresh for his liking.

As much as I like a good burger, I can just not eat burger. Non meat beef alternatives are certainly an option, but so are a plethora of other foods. Honestly, if this significantly hurts mega beef producers, I'll take that as a win. That would be a win for global climate change at least.

Temu Ozempic. Between that, and the explosive diarrhoea, i mean. Trumps weight loss plan.

Its the meat that China refused a few months ago

It could be the meat the EU refused for September. It could be horse meat. It could be random raccoons RFK Jr. has been collecting.
