Trump Shows Up Doubting Dems And Saves Us From Food Shortages

This past Sunday Tyson Food put out a letter explaining how there are going to be upcoming food shortages. They were not trying to scare Americans but warn us as they had to shut down many of their plants after several of their employees contracted COVID-19. The Tyson Chairman was concerned for the overall welfare of Americans and he is not alone as the Smithfield CEO expressed a similar sentiment earlier this month when he shut down a plant for the same reason. They felt that prices were about to rise for Americans as meat was about to become more scarce, and this might have happened too if we had a weak Dem sitting in the Oval Office.

As pork, beef and chicken plants are being forced to close, even for short periods of time, millions of pounds of meat will disappear from the supply chain,” John Tyson, chairman of the Tyson Foods board, wrote.”

The closure of this facility, combined with a growing list of other protein plants that have shuttered across our industry, is pushing our country perilously close to the edge in terms of our meat supply,” Kenneth Sullivan CEO of Smithfield warned.”

But Trump saw this and acted using the Defense Production Act to get the plants back up and running.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order under the Defense Production Act to compel meat processing plants to remain open amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump had highlighted the order during an Oval Office meeting with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis that was opened up to reporters.
“We’re going to sign an executive order today, I believe, and that’ll solve any liability problems,” Trump said on Tuesday.
The President signed the order after some companies, such as Tyson Foods, were considering only keeping 20% of their facilities open. The vast majority of processing plants could have shut down — which would have reduced processing capacity in the country by as much as 80%, an official claimed.
By signing the order, Trump declared these plants part of critical infrastructure in the US.
The administration is also working with the Department of Labor on issuing guidance about which employees who work at these meat processing facilities should remain home, including workers who are part of populations most vulnerable to the coronavirus.”
Dems want to bash Trump for not acting and when he does crickets. He is ensuring Americans will still have the ability to buy meat as we soon will be returning to normal.
