I live in oil and cattle country. (More head of cattle in our county than there are people.)
We look at matters like oil and beef prices a little differently as a result. :-)
Not to worry, when beef prices go up Trump & Co. can say globalization's making the little guy starve, and when they go down he can demand more price supports to repair the damage globalization did to U.S. producers.
He can't lose!
