00:00Donald Trump's bizarre brag, President insists cattle ranchers would be doing terrible if

00:06it weren't for him.

00:08Donald Trump insisted cattle ranchers would be doing terrible without his leadership.

00:12A remark that comes as several farming groups criticize his attempt to slash record beef

00:17prices.

00:18The cattle ranchers, who I love, don't understand that the only reason they are doing so well

00:24for the first time in decades is because I put tariffs on cattle coming into the United

00:28States, including a 50% tariff on Brazil, Trump, 79, wrote via Truth Social on Wednesday,

00:36October 22nd.

00:38Beef prices have soared in the last year, with items like boneless sirloin steaks jumping

00:43by double-digit percentages.

00:46If it weren't for me, they would be doing just as they've done for the past 20 years.

00:50Terrible, Trump continued.

00:53Trump introduced the idea of importing more meat from Argentina to lower beef prices for

00:57American consumers on Sunday, which sparked criticism from both Republicans and U.S.

01:03ranchers.

01:04This plan only creates chaos at a critical time of the year for American cattle producers,

01:09while doing nothing to lower grocery store prices, National Cattlemen's Beef Association's

01:14CEO Colin Woodall said in a statement on Monday, October 20th, per CNBC.

01:20In another response, Woodall said his organization cannot stand behind the president while he

01:25undercuts the future of family farmers and ranchers by importing Argentinian beef in an

01:30attempt to influence prices.

01:32It is imperative that President Trump and Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, let the cattle

01:37markets work, Woodall concluded.

01:40Republican Senator Deb Fischer of Nebraska also openly criticized Trump's proposal.

01:46Government intervention in the beef market will hurt our cattle ranchers, she wrote in

01:51an ex-post on Tuesday, October 21st.

01:54In addition, beef imports are down due to the 50% tariff Trump imposed on Brazil in July,

02:00and stricter limits on Mexico, which is currently fighting a flesh-eating pest.
