Well... it's Trump... again. #47, here we go.

I've read a couple of the "love letters" that Natalie (allegedly) sent to Trump, and I'm reminded of a lesson that I learned early in my career as an on-air radio personality.

You do NOT engage the stalkers.

I lucked out in that I didn't have anything too extreme, but I worked with people who did. Fanatic listeners finding out where they lived and staking out the apartment building. Sending explicit photos. Boyfriends calling and threatening to come down to the station and get violent. Even if they're attractive (my super-fan was) you just don;'t, and if you run into them in real life (like I did) start looking for the exits. Whenever you engage them - even if it's to say "get the fuck away from me, you psycho" - they will take it as validation and redouble their efforts.

Ms. Harp is - and this should be a medical term if it isn't informally - cray cray. "Not something that ten years of good therapy won't make a small dent in" (and that's something a psychologist told me was used in the industry).

You'd think that someone who has been in the public eye for most of his life would know this, but Fragilego Mussolini never learned the lesson. And I realize that beauty is subjective, but Natalie is not the hottest woman on the planet. She's like a Hooter's waitress who works the day shift because she appeals to the Boomer guys on lunch break and that's about it.

Today, I concluded a deal to substantially lower the price of ground beef for working American families.
As everyone knows, under President Biden, beef prices soared at their fastest rate and the American beef herd fell to its smallest size in modern history.
As we work to rebuild this herd and help our ranchers, for the next 90 days, the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of product for ground beef to be imported with no out of quota tariff.
We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25 percent below current market prices.
This deal will reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Isn't this the sort of communism we're supposed to be so scared shitless about?

I doubt she is the first person with such a personality to be the intern / aide sphere.

The letters do read like the nanny in a movie where the nanny is overly obsessive and things go poorly.

What I find insane about this is the devotation to a guy that is only devoted to himself.

Gotta say, Laura Loomer's reaction to all this is pretty...interesting. Something something popcorn?

And yet the ‘libertarians’ , you know the avowed free market puritans, keep supporting Trump and the GOP in general.

She went to Point Loma and Liberty after a home school primary education. I think the seduction of Trump by this ‘Hooters Day Waitress’ May be more calculated than cray cray.

I know my highest degree and profession is in marine science. But I did go to and ag/tech/engineering college and that statement doesn’t match what AgEcon classes taught us about markets.

Maybe a ‘libertarian’ around here can square this new GOP policy with classic market economics. You know explain it in a way that even a tankie can grasp how undercutting the market price with cheap imports on fixed prices will entice domestic producers to increase supply. Yeah it’s been decades since I took AgEcon but that seems a tad off.

But I thought the exporting country pays the tariffs, so this can't possibly lower prices.
 
The few small ranchers I know are down to ignoring the noise. If prices don’t support feeding their hay to cattle, they’ll produce more small bales and sell them at super high prices to people from Texas to Tennessee as well as locals like me. It’s not like they’ve extended themselves so badly that they have humongous herds they can’t feed. But rich people still have horses, the ranchers have great horse food … why go through unnecessary brain damage, by adding the extra step of converting it to people food? They’ll wait for this trump bullshit calms down (they don’t think of it as that) before trying to balloon their herds.
