Trump is such a man of the people, he wants to dump cheap, toxic ground beef on the market for the peasants to buy! Everyone celebrate their benevolent overlord and his brilliant plan to lower the cost of groceries! Please ignore the renewed trade war with Canada, which will send the price of toilet paper through the roof.
Truly, Trump is a political genius of unparalleled mastery of the economy!
