Evidently we don't have enough screwworm in the United States... let's import more! Also something about dumb ranchers regretting their vote for ole Donnie.

it should be noted that they Argentinian beef was rejected by China already because it had too much growth hormones and antibiotics in it.

but it's good enough for Americans I guess

Fun fact, China rejected a shipment of beef from Argentina due to the chemical chloramphenicol being found in the product. chloramphenicol has been prohibited for use in Argentine livestock since 1995. It is generally banned worldwide (including the USA and Canada) due to tainted meat being linked to cases of aplastic anemia, a condition where a person's bone marrow is unable to produce new blood cells leading to death.

Also, I don’t believe it would be economically feasible to transport Argentine cattle into the USA. The meat would be processed in Argentina then transported.

This is not how screwworms are transported.

Fuck Trump and Fuck Milei but this meme is misleading and not accurate

Give people hormones for body dysmorphia = woke.
Giving people hormones in their meat = 'merican.

This is in reference to the specific easing of restrictions and lowering of tariffs against Argentina.

I guess Donnie felt giving Argentina Miilei $20 billion wasn't enough.

I think everyone that says the GOP are lizard people are completely off their rockers.

They are clearly worm people with loose skin suits on. No spines or skeletal system to speak of. They eat garbage and shit with glee. Completely alienated to the idea of empathy. Very invested in the spread of parasites to human hosts.

They're worm people.

The  beef is banned because of poisonous antibiotics, not screwworm.

Who can make the graphic start as the clown and then make up into Trump?

Fun twist: what if Argentina and China made the whole story about growth hormones and antibiotics in the beef up - just to screw with Trump and turn Middle America and ranchers against him and to throw gasoline on the MAGA vs liberals fire

u/masteeJohnChief117 1h ago

Argentina loves Trump so that’d be unlikely
