I have one good thing to say about trump [View all]

I learned that butter is one of the easiest things to make. He forced me to learn to make my own butter.
Tastes much better than most store bought butter - I am never buying butter again. Thanks trump. Because of the trump economy I am learning new ways to cut costs. If it wasn't for you, I would have never known how simple it is to make butter.
Seriously. If you have a stand mixer, (PS, I don't have a fancy Kitchen Aid, just a regular ol stand mixer) you can have butter in less than 10 mins. Flavored butter costs an arm and 2 legs lets these days. Now I can make whatever flavors I want and for less than what it costs in the grocery stores.

Oh and another thing, pulled out my old food processor that I barely ever use. Used it to make ground beef.

So now I can buy heavy cream, use some of it as creamer, make home made ice cream and make butter and butter milk( PS, you don't need an ice cream maker) I have one and the no churn method tasted way better than in my ice cream maker. One item used for multiple purposes instead of buying multiple products.
And I get to control the ingredients.

Thanks trump. Would have probably never happened without you. Under Biden's economy, I went to the store and put things in my cart without thinking about it.
