MSNBC interviewed a Trump voting rancher and showed him that tweet. He was surprised, saying he agreed with Trump on a lot of things but he disagrees that he could do anything to lower the price of beef because his costs are way up too — because of the tariffs. Unfortunately, I’m not sure it dawned on him that maybe, just maybe, the president is a fucking moron who doesn’t understand anything at all.
It appears that the administration does have a plan to help the ranchers, though. They’re going to force Americans to eat more beef. Which is only right.
Remember this?
Sarah Palin brought 200 cookies to a Pennsylvania Christian school Tuesday, a hostess gift that would not be notable if Palin had not declared the move a stunt to mock anti-childhood obesity campaigns in public schools.
Fresh on the heels of Rush Limbaugh’s pro-Twinkie tirade against Michelle Obama’s health initiative, Palin explained to the audience, “I wanted these kids to bring home the idea to their parents for discussion. Who should be deciding what I eat? Should it be government or should it be parents? It should be the parents.”
The crowd roared. Palin was reacting to an incorrect report that Pennsylvania was considering banning sweet treats at school parties. She followed up with this tweet: “2 PA school speech; I’ll intro kids 2 beauty of laissez-faire via serving them cookies amidst school cookie ban debate;Nanny state run amok!” (Is it odd to decry the “Nanny State” to the very people who actually have nannies?)
That was completely different, of course. Michelle Obama is a Black woman and a Democrat. Donald Trump is our King.
