I kinda like that he is doing this because while this won't reach a large number of MAGAts, at least a few will pause and realize, "Wait, other countries have higher standards for their citizens than the food that myself and my family eat daily? Is that.. a good or a bad thing?"

And some small number will learn something they would've never been exposed to if the orange-moron didn't say it.

I don't imagine it will reach many of them, they wouldn't be MAGAts if they thought about things very deeply after all, but some of them will get it.

Thank you Mr. President for starting this awareness campaign (in the stupidest way possible).

Nope, that would require them to think/know we don't want their food because it's a lower standard. They will instead believe we don't want their food because we are jealous of them, or because we want to unjustly mess with them as competition.

That is an abstract thought. Something tells me a Trump voter really struggles with abstract thought.

they aren't that willing to think about it,

they will just think(be told) that Europe hates freedom and therefore American meat/poultry

at least a few will pause and realize, “Wait, other countries have higher standards...”

Nice thought, but too generous. If you're not England, France, or maybe Germany, then we consider you a third world country. (Incorrectly!)

If anything, this will piss them off more: "How dare these third world countries reject the world's best food?!"
