Trump's Beef Catastrophe: Incompetence, Blithering Idiocy, and Blatant Lies Have Obliterated America's Beef Industry In yet another humiliating display of incompetence, the authoritarian Trump regime has turned America's once-mighty beef industry into a national punchline. After months of touting "record" export numbers as proof that his chaotic trade policies were somehow working, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been forced to admit it inflated beef export sales by a staggering 90 percent. According to a bombshell Reuters report, the USDA bragged in early July that U.S. exporters had sold more than 126,000 metric tons of beef to foreign buyers for a sales period ending in late June. The actual number? Just 12,000 metric tons. That's not a rounding error. That's a catastrophic fabrication that would embarrass a high-school bookkeeper. The fake numbers were so absurd they should have raised red flags immediately. The USDA claimed record sales of more than 38,000 metric tons to Chile and over 32,000 metric tons to Italy — countries that aren’t even major markets for American beef. Reality? A pathetic 367 tons to Chile and 350 tons to Italy. Fourteen other countries saw their numbers slashed as well. This isn't just bureaucratic sloppiness. This is the Trump regime's signature brand of hype, lies, spin, and propaganda colliding with economic reality — and the American cattle industry is paying the price. U.S. beef prices have hit record highs this year thanks to tight cattle supplies and strong domestic demand. Exports have been declining since 2022. Higher prices have priced American beef out of the global market, as commodity analyst Austin Schroeder bluntly told Reuters: "We're priced out of the world market to a certain extent. It wouldn't make a lot of sense for that big of an export number." Meanwhile, domestic supplies are so low the U.S. has had to ramp up beef imports. Earlier this year, a screwworm outbreak forced Texas to declare a state of disaster, further hammering producers already squeezed by Trump-era chaos. Instead of acknowledging the mess his administration created — from trade wars that disrupted markets to regulatory neglect that left ranchers vulnerable — Trump and his sycophants simply let the USDA pump out fantasy numbers and call it a win. This is the same pattern we've seen across the board: brag about successes that don't exist, then quietly revise the data when caught. Only this time it's not some abstract economic indicator. It's the backbone of rural America — cattle ranchers, feedlot operators, processors, and exporters — watching their industry get trashed by incompetence and covered up with lies. The revised numbers aren't just embarrassing, they're devastating. They confirm what ranchers have been screaming for months: America's beef sector is in serious trouble, and the people running the show are too busy tweeting victory to notice or care. The only question left is how many more "record" numbers will have to be walked back due to Trump being a serial lying sociopath who is too psychologically fragile to handle the truth.

JUST IN: 🇩🇰🇺🇸 Danish reporter slammed NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte live on camera: "You sit next to Donald Trump at moments when he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

You miss a penalty with your team already trailing, then watch them concede a second goal moments later. The stadium goes silent, the fans lose hope, and everyone writes you off. Most players would disappear mentally after that. Not Lionel Messi. At 39 years old, after all the criticism about his mentality throughout his career, he responded in the only way he knows how. Football is like a movie—you should never celebrate before the final whistle. At halftime, Ronaldo fans and Messi haters came out in full force. “Finished.” “FIFA boy.” “Flop.” Then Egypt made it 2–0, and X was flooded with posts mocking Messi, as if they had forgotten he already settled every debate in 2022 and had nothing left to prove. Then came the plot twist. Messi assisted Romero to make it 2–1. Minutes later, he produced a breathtaking equalizer for 2–2. Finally, Lisandro Martínez set up Enzo Fernández for the winner. From 2–0 down to 3–2. A remarkable remontada. The villains always celebrate too early. And somehow, in every football story, Lionel Messi is always the hero. 🐐🇦🇷

After Belgium scored their 4th goal vs USA, the whole team mocked President Donald Trump by doing his signature dance move Pretty savage troll, especially on US soil & after Trump fought to have FIFA review the bogus red card suspension on Balogun. Well played 🤝

Actor Roddy McDowall took home movies of a morning during the filming of the 1968 film Planet of Apes, and they're a fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse into this film.
