Where’s the Beef? Trump and his Petty Tantrums are Destroying America

This week Trump has been more erratic than ever. While always mercurial, thin-skinned, vain, and vindictive, he has reached a new level of mortgaging America’s well-being for his own, always needy, perpetually bruised ego. It is not just his threat to flatten the Kennedy Center because his name can’t be on it. I am not referring to his temper tantrum renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America, nor to his ballroom, helipad, arch, gilded statues, the potential sale of a portion of a national park or a ridiculous race in DC. The list is, of course, exhausting in both length and emotional toll, but I am specifically addressing his meddling with the beef market and his trade war with Canada. This is not the first time Trump has brought his business “expertise” to agriculture or trade. And here I am excluding, for the sake of expediency, his tax policies that have taken a sledgehammer to small and midsized family farms, further empowering industrial farming conglomerates.
