It may very well not be what they voted for. Ads in spanish didn't emphasize immigration the way english media did. Not to say that excuses them from making a horrible choice.

Montreal to La Paz Bolivia is almost 7000 km. Montreal to Budapest is 6600ish km. So the western hemisphere also can be half way around the world from Canada. You could reverse it and argue "It makes more sense to shore up relations in the Northern hemisphere than to go halfway around the world."

My understanding is that he's giving $400 million in direct subsidies to egg farmers, as part of a $1 billion package to USDA to increase the profits of egg producers.

I think my edit is probably closer to the mark

If Trump had not campaigned on bringing down egg/grocery prices, I would agree with you.

In this case though, he promised to lower prices and that makes him a valid target for criticism since he promised he could do something about it and now obviously can't.
