Why is a president who pledged to put “America first” handing a $40 billion bailout to Argentina while quadrupling Argentine beef imports to undercut the price of beef produced by U.S. ranchers at the same time his tariffs have destroyed U.S. soybean sales to China, thereby enabling Argentine soybean farmers to sell to China instead?
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has absolutely no clue.
The Georgia Republican continued her surprising tour of pushback against Republican nonsense with an appearance on The Tucker Carlson Show Wednesday, where she called the bailout “one of the grossest things I’ve ever seen.”
“I have no idea who is telling our great president, our ‘America first’ president, that this is a good idea,” she said. “Because, honestly, it’s a punch in the gut to all of our American cattle ranchers, and they are furious and rightfully so.”
“I can’t think of a country that’s further away from the United States of America than Argentina,” she continued. “It’s literally at the bottom of South America in the Southern Hemisphere, and we’re all the way at the top. I don’t know how that’s ‘America first.’”
