Bessent is the best. They're bringing cattle across the border now LOL.
Many top economists blame the sharp rise in beef prices on President Donald Trump's widespread tariffs, which have increased the cost of beef imported from Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, and Uruguay

>>>Bessent went on to make the claim, without evidence, that migrants were bringing diseased cattle with them across the border, and that was somehow contributing to the rising cost of beef.
"And there's also, because of the mass immigration, a disease that had been — we've been rid of in North America made its way up through South America, you know, as these migrants brought some of their cattle with them," Bessent said.
"So part of the problem is we've had to shut down, to close, to shutter, etc., the border to Mexican beef because of this disease called the screw worm. So we're not going to let that get into our supply chain. And, again, I don't want to focus on one product. It's a very important product. And if we are laser-focused on this product," he continued.
Bessent quickly pivoted the conversation to discuss inflation, but many on social media, reasonably, have some questions about the claim that migrants somehow transport cattle across the southern border.<<<
