what is this new american trend of infantile statements?
It’s hardly new. The United States have always been like that one popular kid in an elementary school. If you act the way he wants, he can be nice to you and your on his team. Take one step in a different direction and they’ll start badmouthing you, preferably behind your back.
They’ve been doing this to Russia and China for decades. As long as they have the stage, they can create any narrative they want and the audience will most likely adopt the opinion and start saying the same things.
The thing about propaganda is that, if it fits in your frame or reference, you’ll be more likely to accept it. If it doesn’t fit, like when it is about you, suddenly you’ll realize that this is something they have been doing about others all along and that it doesn’t break any patterns, apart from the recognition patterns of the receiver.
It is not about the behaviour, it is about the language. Back then even though they were bullies, they did at least use adult diplomatic language. It is about the brainrot of Trumps sycophants copying his bizarre childish way of talking.
Sadly that kind of language apparently resonates with voters more than intelligent speech. It’s happening all across Europe as well. As someone from the Netherlands, I had a bit of a laugh when the right wing populists found out that governing is not at all as simple as they make it out to be. It’s the embodiment of ‘fuck around and find out’.
This is how the fascists evangelize to the morons, the lower educated.
See, when they say stuff like “our beef is beautiful, and theirs is weak, they’re jealous” or “these tariffs might be the manliest thing, they’re going to being us back from woke and give more testosterone” they’re not talking to you.
I mean, they know you’re gonna hear them but they know you’re smart enough to know what they’re doing.
What they’re really doing is rilling up all the dumb, uneducated masses that voted them in. They’re filling the airwaves with buzzwords, and their fucking sleeper zombies awaken from their WWE stupor, they all turn down their sweat lodge manosphere podcasts and go “yesss daddy make us more stronger omg trump greatest ever we’re gonna dunk on those nerds”
They think this will scare you and intimidate you not because of their words directly, but because you understand the effects of what they’re really doing. You know, because of the implication.
Of course it’s fucking stupid, but the problem is they will actually throw a tantrum when you tell them to fuck off and that’s when fascism gets ugly. God help us all.
The majority of the US reads below a 6th grade level. They’re talking to those people, because those are the dumb ones that put them in power.
It is simple sadly. An infant is running the country. They want to make sure he can understand what they’re saying publicly without it having to go through a translator. Note the excessive use of the word beautiful for instance.
Most Americans are fuckbrains, this is just something we have to accept. At least for the time being.
It’s really simple, the bootlickers realize that impressing Trump is the only way to move up in MAGA world, so 100% of their effort is put toward doing that which leads to many different embarrassing acts including him here trying to mimic his fetid babytalk.
They’re dropping the facade now that trump has gained power. They’ve always been petulant, greedy little children who will burn anyone or anything for power.
New?
Food from the USA is not up to European standards. It’s that simple.
Just look at how long it took to ban Red Dye #3. Banned almost completely in Europe in 1994, while in the US it’s legal until 2027.
Just want to piggy back on the red dye thing. The dye was banned in January, and shortly after, in February, a canal in Argentina turned red, which people suspected was from a dye manufacturer dumping into the water way: https://vt.co/news/weird/concerns-raised-after-canal-water-mysteriously-turns-red-like-blood-overnight
I suspect the two events are related.
That seems unlikely. Demand for these things tends to taper off. It’s not like the products using this dye immediately had their formula changed when the law passed. Instead, production of the dye will slow down as those products get a new formula, and they’ll continue to use old stock until it’s depleted.
Besides, the article points to other likely sources of pollution.
I’m confused, is that how a ban works? Companies are allowed to continue to use it from massive stockpiles as long as some day in the future they stop? It sounds way too easy to game…
Don’t forget high fructose corn syrup, which is still legal in the US, despite having a conspiracy theorist who hates it in charge of the Department of Health and who could get that ball rolling with a word.
Corn subsidies effectively bankroll a number of (Solid Red) US states. That shit’s big business, with big lobbyist payrolls, with big lawyers behind them.
The corn lobby is nearly as strong as the oil lobby… it aint going nowhere.

Now you also know why he’s popular with his voters
It actually wasn’t Drumpf that said this shit this time. Some asshole named Lutnick.
Edit: apparently he’s the Secretary of Commerce
Why yes. I want my beef *checks notes* beautiful. And strong.
Eww… We don’t need chlorine infused chicken and chemical soaked eggs. No idea what crap they have in their mad cow beef and lobster. Ban it by law, put it into the constitution change all the national anthem to say EU citizens will be protected from US chemical infused meat and eggs. Write it into a huge stone facing US in multiple languages. Make T-shirts too and hats.
Don’t american eggs need to be refrigerated and cannot be eaten raw or something ridiculous
They are washed with harsh chemicals, leading to the destruction of the natural protective layer (that protective layer prevents germs like salmonella from entering the egg)
Apparently, it’s to combat salmonella contamination from fecies on the shell.
European countries instead vaccinate their chickens, have higher hygiene and biosecurity standards (with regular inspections) for farms and frequently collect the eggs to avoid any surface contamination without having to wash their eggs.
But we just hope that harsh chemicals will cover up the natural consequences of our inhumane practices. So I can see both sides.
Please send help. We’re disgusting.
It’s because they are washed in a different way than the rest of the world.
No idea what crap they have in their mad cow beef and lobster.
Neither does America: they fired the people who check this.
Weak unchlorinated meat, unbelievable!
God damn it that’s not how people are supposed to speak.
Your beef is corn fed and cows cant digest it, get fucked. Grass fed ftw.
Lutnick’s description of American beef as superior is a common perception and has some evidentiary basis.
“EU consumption of beef has been in decline for 20 years. This may be, at least in part, due to inconsistencies in eating quality, meaning that the customers cannot be sure of the quality they are purchasing,” says a 2022 academic article in Animal: The International Journal of Animal Biosciences.
So according to the NY Post, the apparent absence of complaints in the US is an argument why US beef is better?

In other words: They have no clue and are just guessing. That (parts of) the EU may be following an entirely different trend is completely unimaginable.
My personal anecdotal evidence: Basically everyone I know who eats less beef does so because of pricing, wanting to adopt a healthier/different diet or because they don’t want to shut their eyes as much to what “meat production” means for a cow anymore. Then there’s the group who just goes along with that because they either don’t prepare meals themselves or so they’re not the only one not eating at least vegetarian. Not a single one of them does it because they “cannot be sure of the quality they are purchasing”.
Ofc my anecdotal evidence isn’t saying anything about the entire EU either. I merely wanted to showcase how easy it would be to frame the entire thing completely differently.
My view through the tainted window: fewer farmers, less government assistance, more droughts, higher expenses. Overall, not worth the trouble.
Two sides of the same coin. Bottom line is beef is pricey and importing it from the states wouldn’t change that for the better so nobody wants to.
Beef is expensive
Exactly why i mentioned “pricing” as part of my anecdotal evidence.
It’s utterly absurd, there is nothing wrong with the beef in Europe
NY post is owned by Murdoch.
Those evil Europeans like quality. But not American, only real quality.
American animal “farms” are a dirty and unhygienic mess, and the fact that people still eat their products in the US makes people elsewhere cringe in horror. I love to shock Americans with “Mettbrötchen”, a crispy roll with raw, minced pork meat. Perfectly safe to eat here. But people who are used to washed.eggs and chlorinated chicken recoil in horror to something like that.

If someone asked me to describe the animals rolling in and meat out of Tönnies Factories I would use the same words to describe it.
Our meat isn’t that much better (still better than in the US, but the prepackaged stuff in the supermarket is still low quality), no reason to be smug here and riding the high horse
German Farms are like that too. But ours have just a tad more regulations.
The “tad” fills a few shelves of folders.
In the States, we’re told that raw pork puts you in danger of trichinosis. Does your methodology somehow eliminate that threat?
“They disespect us. They disrespect our beef. They call us stinky, poopy babies.”
~ Fox News, probably
And they’d be right
As an African with access to reasonable traditional cattle farming, I can say that American beef tastes like crap. Looks amazing, but tastes like crap.
It depends on where it comes from in the US. You’re spot on when it comes to basically anything sold in a grocery store. But we have some great cattle that produces great beef. You have to go to high end butchers for it though. Or buy it directly from the ranchers and butcher it yourself.
The best steak I ever had. I watched iit graze in pasture a couple hours before eating it.
As an American that has traveled to many places, why would Europe want any type of American food. I felt like most countries I’ve traveled to especially in central and South America and places like Italy the food is more farm to table and by far way more healthier. Have you ever seen Fanta from Europe compared to USA?
How is the fanta different?
Most countries don’t use high fructose corn syrup
European Fanta lover here. Visited US, the HFCS based Fanta felt disgustang to me
Look at a picture to start (my account is to new to upload a pic)
Argentinian beef is top tier. While we do have some great beef in the US, it’s all from smaller ranchers that most people don’t have access to, and it still doesn’t compare to Argentina.
Argentinian beef could use some seasoning though. Every time I’ve had Argentinian beef fare it was bland af, which sucks because it looks amazing
Trumps words coming out of a sycophants mouth. How stupid do you have to be that trumps way of putting it is better than what you can come up with yourself.
I thought this was a joke until I read Lutnick’s name
I’ve eaten beef all over the world. US beef is nothing special.
It’s special in that it’s full with antibiotics and growth hormones.
