    “Action must be taken immediately to protect Consumers, combat Illegal Monopolies, and ensure these Corporations are not criminally profiting at the expense of the American People. I am asking the DOJ to act expeditiously,” he added.

    Well. How about that. I fully agree. But I don’t think he means what I wish he means. :)

      I’m a farmer, rancher, and dairyman. The meat packing monopoly is a massive problem for decades now, and a huge reason for problems on both the producer and consumer sides. However, I fucking know for a fact that if trump all of the sudden starts talking about your industry, buckle up. He’s gunna fuck it up in the dumbest way imaginable.

      It is kinda nice to finally see my red hatted neighbors getting pissed off at the administration though.

        He’s going to go after ranchers because they cried foul over his support of Argentine ranchers. He’s all about retribution. He probably has a “buddy” in the meat packing racket.

      There ain’t no way that addled clown said all that. He probably doesn’t even know what a quarter of those words even mean…

      He sure as shit has never even heard the word expeditiously.

      Just more word salad that sounds good to him. The US is rife with what are effectively monopolies that squeeze the consumer who will have few choices other than competitors who are doing the exact same thing.

      Yeah somehow I don’t think they’ll be suing Cargill and Tyson over the meatpacking monopoly
