Adair Expressed Support For Trump’s Tariffs On Twitter

March 2025: Adair Retweeted A Post Supporting Trump’s Tariffs. “THIS is what tariffs are all about ‼️ Putting America First American cattle rancher, ‘Welcomes the 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican beef and cattle, and we want more — For decades now we've argued that free trade, meaning when tariffs are reduced to zero, was harming American farmers and ranchers, particularly cattle and sheep farmers and ranchers’ ‘Since zero tariffs for cattle and beef went into effect between the US, Canada and Mexico in 1994, the US has lost about 285,000 beef cattle farmers and ranches. Our national cattle herd is shrunk by about 6.5 million mother cows, and we've eliminated over 87,000 farmer feeders from our domestic supply chain's marketing outlets. What zero tariffs did was allow global importers to displace domestic farmers and ranchers, domestic cattle and domestic cattle feeding opportunities with cheaper imports’ ‘Our logical arguments against free trade included that many foreign countries had lower wages, lower production standards, relaxed environmental standards, and weaker currencies. We argued that each of these advantages gave foreign countries an inherent pricing advantage over domestic producers’ This video is FULL of great info and facts and statistics about how not having tariffs have destroyed every aspect of our livestock farming industry.” [Patti Jean Adair, Twitter, 3/6/25]

April 2025: Adair Retweeted A Post That Argued That Not Being Able To Purchase Goods From China Was “Blessing” And Said “I Think This Version Of A Reset May Be The Best Thing That Has Happened To Americans In A Very Long Time.” “You know, maybe not being able to buy another Chinese TV, phone, child labor clothing, or plastic crap toy is a blessing. Maybe people will adjust how they spend their personal time and money by turning inwards to self-sufficiency? Grow a garden, mend your clothes, kids playing outside, talk to your neighbors. I think this version of a reset may be the best thing that has happened to Americans in a very long time.” [Patti Jean Adair, Twitter, 4/28/25]
