Logic's not so strong with this one, eh?

Every American thing I've tasted has been absolutely vile compared to even the cheapest things in Europe. I really feel bad for US citizens who have lived their whole lives with shit like that.

Russia refusing to import our bleached chicken during Obama was a big falling out point with them. And they blocked the US adoption industry from trafficking Russian kids.
Big Ag has a lot of power here. They will be petty and make this hurt for the EU.

Beef is a lot more expensive in Europe in my experience, but is also of a much higher quality. You can get an equivalent quality in the US but you’ll have to go to a specialty butcher or a farmers market and it will be more expensive than an equivalent cut in Europe.
And frankly the cheap stuff in the US is still too expensive for me to make it a regular part of my diet. So, if I’m going to have it, it’ll be a treat, and I may as well buy the better stuff in that case.
Word for word, the same thing the president said.
You know, that's exactly what I've said, every single time I've eaten beef, anywhere in Europe..."What weak beef! I bet that cow couldn't have done more than 20 push-ups. I can actually taste that a 2-hour run would have taken that cow the better part of an hour."
🙄
Gee, it's almost like he's intentionally being an asshole to achieve a specific reaction he wants
Honestly asking, what reaction do you think he is looking for?
I can understand (and believe) these assholes are all evil and greedy at a cartoon villain level, but I simply cannot understand what is the goal here. All I see is stupidity running rampant
Absolute isolationism with nationalistic delusions of grandeur
Basically, North Korea
But don't they realize that North Korea is a broken dump? why would they want to be kings of that when they are already Oligarchs of an actual rich nation?
Not asking you to make them make sense... I am just at a lost for logic here

im convinced this guy has actual brain damage.
that's my occam's razor
The thing that gets me about the Trump Admin is how all his spokesgremlins sound like they stepped off a Middle School playground. We've gone from "Newspapers are written at a 6th grade reading level" to "Public policy is implemented by 6th graders who just discovered what a bully is".
Spokesgremlins... I like that!
