Since the only cuts of beef I buy are arm roast and hamburger, I've never heard of wagyu before this man became president...what is it?

Expensive!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagyu

From the link: "These different breeds produce beef that range from expensive (by any measure) to extremely expensive (about $500 USD per 150 grams of filet steak sold retail in Japan)." You can bet that Zero got the pricey stuff. I did a quick conversion: 150 grams = 5.3 ounces. So basically $100 per ounce.

But who cares when this guy is creating new entitlements in the trillions.

A hyper-expensive version of USDA prime in various cuts. The most recent Allen Brothers, a prime meat distributor located in Chicago, catalog yields these sample prices for Wagyu:

Strip. steaks: $75.00/#;

Filets: $116.60/#;

Ribeyes: $75.31/#.

IOW, the most expensive beef they could get.
