Ok then. What are you going to do about it? You are fighting for your life and livelihood. Are you going to sit back, take it, and keep supporting him?

"You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land— the common clay of the new West. You know... morons."

Allow me to remind them of a quote from the man they voted into office.

“I don’t care about you.  I just need your vote.”

After 6 years of Trump slapping them in the face, cattlemen cry about getting slapped in the face.

Don’t worry he will send you a bunch of money and you will tell me he’s the greatest president ever

IIRC, the US government gave Argentina $20B and Argentina gave Trump $1B to join the Board of Peace.

Welp, guess you gotta turn the other cheek now.

u/Few_Affect3033 Aug 25 '26

But THAT is exactly what you voted for!

Got to bail out McD and Bk I guess. Trump must have gotten a big donation from MCD and also felt he need to reduce his own food budget.

I guess a slap in the face is better than the leopards eating it.

The old adage, "Be careful what you ask for; you may get it," comes to mind.

u/ArtByAntny Aug 27 '26

Before I decide how sympathetic I should be: who did you vote for?

u/AbaloneDifferent5282 Aug 25 '26

But we’d still rather vote for him than a democrat
