    Looks like the secretary of Agriculture has cracked this case

    Brooke Rollins: "We've run over 1,000 simulations. It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, corn tortilla, and one other thing. So there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money."
    Real Trump MAgA Americans don't need to afford food, they just need Chicken broccoli tacos for $3 (and one other thing) (according to simulations)

    Almost, but it's got to be a corn tortilla, hopefully purchased from Argeninian Farmers subsidized with your $40 billion.

    Got to tighten the belts, folks, to afford the BallRoom and the armed gangs of Masked Terrorists

    Argentina repaid the investment from the US in full.

    Zero taxpayer dollars are used to build the ballroom.

    The party of lies, crime, and fraud just can’t tell the truth!

    GOOD DAY

    Is "one other thing" code for something else? Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink. Say no more, say no more.

    The other thing could be some catsup, which their other hero Reagan categorized as a vegetable. Maybe could put some salsa instead of catsup on the tortilla. Frankly it should have been some white bread as a Mezkin food a tortilla might trigger the little MAGA darlings.

    I think the Brazilian tariffs were the stupidest ones imaginable. I went to Target yesterday because I was asked to make taco steak bowls for dinner. Fck me... Skirt steak is still over 20 dollars for the smallest one they had. Thats almost double what a skirt steak would cost me just 3 or 4 months ago.

    And people that like steak aren't just soy boys and dikes (I'm assuming we can say that word again since in the Minnesota thread all of the MAGA bros over there were using that term). I'm pretty alpha males and cross fitters eat a sh$t ton of red meat, and slather beef tallow on top of the beef with a protein shake to wash it down.

    If anyone thinks Trump is a master strategists this is proof he's just the worlds luckiest idiot because his voters are just as dumb as he is.
