Humor: People who want to tax cow farts are upset about Trump’s tariffs

 GENESIUS TIMES  "WASHINGTON, DC—Green New Deal Democrats are reportedly fuming over President Trump’s latest tariff announcements—not because of trade imbalances or economic fallout, but because they’re worried it’ll hurt their grand plan to tax cow farts. Yes, you read that right: the party that once dreamed of a world powered by windmills and fueled by kale smoothies is now locking horns with the MAGA king over bovine flatulence.

"The controversy kicked off when Trump, fresh off his re-election landslide, unveiled a new round of tariffs aimed at curbing imports of cheap foreign beef. “America’s cows are the best cows—tremendous, really—and we’re not letting those sneaky foreigners undercut our ranchers,” Trump bellowed at a rally in Texas, flanked by a herd of suspiciously patriotic-looking Holsteins draped in tiny American flags. The move, cheered by cattle ranchers and steak enthusiasts alike, sent shockwaves through the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, who saw it as a direct attack on their eco-utopian agenda.

"At the heart of the outrage is the Green New Deal’s lesser-known “Methane Mitigation Initiative,” a proposal floated by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to slap a tax on livestock emissions—chiefly, the potent greenhouse gas expelled from cows’ rear ends. “We’re talking about a climate crisis here,” AOC declared at a press conference, holding up a chart of a cow with arrows pointing to its hindquarters. “Every moo is a ticking time bomb, and every fart is a call to action. But now Trump’s tariffs are going to flood the market with untaxed American cow gas!” . . .
