In Ruby Red Texas the first domino is starting to fall for the wild eyed assertions about Mexico and/or Schizophrenic trade policy or lack there of.
Quote-
"The Trump administration represents a risk to international economic conditions and global sovereign credit fundamentals," according to Fitch. "U.S. policy predictability has diminished, with established international communication channels and relationship norms being set aside and raising the prospect of sudden, unanticipated changes in U.S. policies with potential global implications."
The irony, of course, is that states like Texas, the plains states and Michigan all helped put Trump in office. But the cows in pasture don't care about politics. And cowboys rightly don't care about irony, even if they are to be its first casualties
I wonder how the ag. community likes being the canary in the coal mine when it comes to a trade war.
Sad.
