A few incorrect (though fairly unimportant) claims in the meme here:
Cow poop creates biodiversity. Wrong. Look up “biodiversity.”
The lifecycle of grass takes CO2 out of the air and replaces it with oxygen. Throughout a 24-hour cycle, the intakes and outputs of CO2 and oxygen from green plants balance themselves. Yes, an infinitesimally small amount of CO2 is sequestered for a relatively short period of time (until the cow is processed). This is why growing trees makes a difference, i.e., the CO2 is sequestered in wood that can be locked into building products lasting decades or centuries.
The meat industry is the single most destructive thing we do with the respect to the planet’s health. That’s because:
a) The land we’re using comes largely from the destruction of the Earth’s rainforests, often referred to as the planet’s “lungs,” at the rate of 85 acres per minute, and
b) Every cow on Earth belches about 220 pounds of methane per year, a greenhouse gas that is shorter-lived than CO2, but ~28 times more powerful.
What Trump has done to this nation and how he accomplished it will be the subject of much discussion by historians for as long as human civilization exists on Earth.
Certainly, the Founding Fathers never imagined that Americans would elect such a manifestly terrible person, and that congress would be so feckless to keep him in power.
How Trump Outwitted the Founding Fathers Will Be an Enduring Mystery
The only one in America whose life is improved by mass deportation is Donald Trump.
Ignorant and hateful people (the MAGA base) love the idea of punishing people with brown skin. Yet working class white supremacists actually lose financially, as prices rise due to loss of workers in low-income jobs in agriculture, restauranting, childcare, landscaping, construction, hospitality, etc.
Remarkably, there are still Americans who buy into the concept promoted at left. Most people have figured out that:
The greed of corporations and billionaires has usurped our lawmaking processes and made it extremely difficult for the working class to live any decent kind of life.
Rule of law is a joke in the United States.
The final days of free market capitalism are upon us, leaving the common American more depressed and desperate than in any past age.
