7. It's hilarious because the ranchers are making massive profits on the back of the consumers

Trump is actually correct: his tariffs have led to these profits! Of course, the consumer is SOL, and Trump now recognizes that the mood is souring because nobody can afford a fucking meatloaf.

But the ranchers, who are used to arguing against liberal price controls, have to now wage an argument against monarchical price controls, a type of class struggle that the bourgeoisie haven't had to fight since the 18th century. It's actually comical if you could put a meal on the table without spending your whole paycheck.
