Remember he ended the brutal unsolvable war between Azerbaijan and Albania - when you are operating on that level you get a pass for these minor oversights.
Poor Albania, drawn into a war they didn’t even know they were a part of until Trump mentioned it.
Am I the only one that finds the ”30 kilo pounds” quite entertaining?

Maybe grandparent meant fruit salad.
Just watch out for the killer blueberries

Did you just forget about Iran?
I think Iran was an enormous blunder that hurt everyone around the world, and will for a long time. But at least I can see what he was aiming for - the acclaim for winning a war and bringing a long time foe to heel. He was sold an easy war by Netanyanhu and being gullible he was easily convinced. There was a reasonable, desirable goal he was aiming for. But this screwworm thing is so stupid simply because there was n…

Which interpretation of your comment do you think makes you look better: that you're pretending not to understand the point being made, or that you truly don't understand the point being made?

Is appropriate for recalling ~30 cows worth of beef? There is no secret point being made, it's just average things happening while certain people overreact.

You can disagree with the take, but being ignorant of it doesn't make sense.

Would those be the high prices he created by importing millions of invasive foreign screw worm flies?
Of all the many things he did, I argue that this is the stupidest, most pointless and damaging thing he did. There was no upside to doing it. He went out of his way to destroy a program that had been running successfully out of sheer stupidity. He mainly hurt his voters (cattle farmers in rural areas), not democrats. It hurt him on the biggest issue he ran on - inflation. It was a massive unforced error that he’s bee…
So about this quota* of imported beef of secret origin(s) that won't meet regulations: I guess it will be a gamble which will contain e. coli, s. aureus, salmonella, listeria, or mad cow, given that country of origin (CoO) labeling nor lot codes aren't required for retail, processed food, or restaurant sale for ground beef. It can be produced with absolutely zero standards. * Quota amount of ground beef is 6.7% of ye…
It hasn't been inspected

You're expected to understand at a high level the incompetence and corruption that's being referenced as having led to this. You can disagree with the take, but being ignorant of it doesn't make sense.
Broadly though, the belief that "current X politician from Y party is the worst, most corrupt politician ever" is a childish belief. I've heard it said about every president and high-ranking politician in my lifetime and it is not remarkable. Frankly the Biden scandals where his son was cutting him into foreign payments seemed worse, and there's no reason to think this beef import had anything to do with corruption, and certainly not at the presidential level.
