Cattle Rancher Calls Trump ‘Delusional’ Over Beef Price Claims
UPDATE: Tensions between former President Donald Trump and America’s cattle ranchers erupted Saturday morning as ranchers pushed back against his recent claims regarding beef prices. During an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” Craig Bieber, vice president of the South Dakota Cattleman’s Beef Association, labeled Trump “delusional” for suggesting he played a significant role in improving cattle market conditions.
Trump’s controversial comments came on Wednesday via a post on Truth Social, where he stated, “The Cattle Ranchers, who I love, don’t understand that the only reason they are doing so well… is because I put Tariffs on cattle coming into the United States, including a 50% Tariff on Brazil.” He continued, asserting, “If it weren’t for me, they would be doing just as they’ve done for the past 20 years — Terrible!”
Bieber swiftly countered Trump’s assertions, emphasizing the market’s upward trajectory was due to years of tough conditions, including droughts that had previously eroded the cattle herd. “We were headed into these markets… Almost everybody in the industry that was aware knew this was coming,” Bieber declared, dismissing Trump’s tariff claims as irrelevant to the current market situation.
The exchange highlights the ongoing struggles faced by cattle ranchers in the U.S., particularly as they navigate fluctuating beef prices and consumer demand. With ranchers expressing frustration over Trump’s comments, this dispute underscores the complexities of U.S. agriculture policy and its impact on local economies.
As beef prices continue to be a hot topic, observers are watching closely to see how this public dispute might shape political narratives leading into upcoming elections. Will ranchers rally behind their own policies, or will Trump’s influence persist in agricultural discussions?
Stay tuned for more developments as the situation unfolds.
