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

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.
Hey some of us have no problem putting trump’s cheap meat in our mouths.
Talk about shrinkflation...
Somehow after reading this I just keep vomiting.
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.
He'll get out his sharpie to cross it off the ingredient list, just like the dotard did for that hurricane.
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.
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.
It's lean, so it needs to be cooked correctly to avoid toughness, but its flavor is good.
Pro tip: if you don't know a language, don't guess when ordering from a menu. For example, "Filetto di Cavallo" does not mean "Cavalier-style fillet." Though, after I was eating and enjoying it, when I asked the waiter to explain what kind of meat it was, the whinny said it all.
Slaughtered horse is too fresh for his liking.
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.
Odds are it's Argentine beef that didn't pass inspection by any developed country. So of course Trump would let it in as another way to bail out his fellow fascist with bad hair Milei.
Make America Vomit Again?
Temu Ozempic. Between that, and the explosive diarrhoea, i mean. Trumps weight loss plan.
His bigger weight loss plan is mass starvation.
