I read about this when it happened. Loved seeing it.

Good Trump.

All window dressing
Yeah meat packers are part of the problem
This won't dramatically change the situation
Trump's just trying to find a Scapegoat

Partially agree. The investigation will be a white wash, but the target is correct. These cartels need to be busted up. You can't fix the underlying problems until you level the playing field.

True. An entire country depending on four companies to provide the vast majority of their meat does seem like a bit much.

Busting someone's ribs and giving them a black eye until they give us steaks that don't overcook our blood pressure!

Busting up monopolies and government regulations to limit Big business from crushing their smaller competitors is generally not part of the Republican playbook

I'd be shocked if any changes resulted from this press release

The meat packers are a huge part of the problem in this country.

As long as he doesn't extend this to the fudge markets, I think he can really pound out some better deals by being on top as the POTUS.

You don't think most Republicans would love to see Alphabet busted up? Paramount? Comcast? Disney?

I would.
