We voted for Trump to fix the border, now we are milking cows alone at 4am."

84. I witnessed a sheep sheering in upstate NY

when Obama was running for th eDemocratic nomination. The sheerer noticed my campaign button and held forth on how much he hated the Clintons because Bill's removal of tarriffs had destroyed the wool industry in the US. Wool just wasn't profitable in the US anymore with foreign competition. He said the tarrifs had been put on during WWII so the US would have wool for soldier's uniforms without needing to import it. The tarrifss remained until Bill Clinton.

This was a few years back, of course, this sheep sheerer was old and he said it was hard to find apprentices. I doubt Trump tarriffs will revive the industry now. People don't plan careers around a despot playing president who changes his mind everydy and has no plan to support the industries he claims to protect. Nor is sheering sheep likely to seen as a viable alternative to the universities Trump is trying to destroy.
