Trump Claims Tariffs Vital for American Cattle Ranchers' Success

In a recent post on social media, former President Donald Trump made a statement addressing American cattle ranchers, emphasizing the impact of his tariffs on foreign cattle imports. He asserted that these tariffs are pivotal to the current success of the ranching industry in the United States. Trump’s Position on Tariffs and Cattle Prices Trump noted, "The Cattle Ranchers, who I love, don’t understand that the only reason they are doing so well, for the first time in decades, is because I put Tariffs on cattle coming into the United States, including a 50% Tariff on Brazil." This statement reflects his belief that the measures he implemented have significantly benefited domestic producers. He continued by expressing concern about cattle prices, stating, "If it weren’t for me, they would be doing just as they’ve done for the past 20 years — Terrible!" Trump highlighted the importance of pricing strategy, indicating that ranchers need to adjust their pricing to accommodate consumer demands: "It would be nice if they would understand that, but they also have to get their prices down, because the consumer is a very big factor in my thinking, also!"
