Inadvertently destroying the corn industry and the overuse of HFCS in foods made here might just be the only good thing he does, and it still wouldn't be on purpose.

Except that we don't grow sugar here, so we'd have to import it, and he'll slap a huge tariff on sugar so now a coke will cost $15 for a 12oz can.

The reason they started to use HFCS in the first place is because of.... a tariff.
