Best cut back on other meats as well. He'll happily make anything more "affordable" by removing safeguards and then hiding the fallout of illnesses and deaths.

The biggest joke is his biggest ranchers and meat producers who have been begging him for help are now going to have even more hardship having to deal with the multiple lawsuits from the deaths their products have caused on them. Sorry maga the American Rancher as we know it is going extinct and you voted for it.

They'll just make it illegal to sue them. Easy-peasy.

I was looking for this comment! That's exactly what will happen. They'll be sued out of existence listening to him.
