When Pres Trump first started talking about and implementing tariffs, I commented that companies likely will be able to buy exemptions or by coddling Pres Trump's ego.

Huang prolly been wearing a Trump Golden Idol lapel pin, too.

A million dollars is chump change for Trump now.... but he's still a chump wealth wise compared to the other Elitists like himself that he serves.

Trump is so easily played.
It will almost certainly cost you the regard of some.
As well as a pile of self-respect.
However, this blobbish clown-felon will walk away thinking he "won. "
Like those times he went big belly up in the casino business.
(Jayzus, what kind of mook can't make a casino work?)
So there is that.

God damn it must suck so bad to have to go within smell range of the DIAPOTUS just to try to salvage a few hundred billion in shareholder value.

The most "for sale" administration in history...
It has in reality become a time where one person, one vote has been replaced with one dollar, one vote....

Jesus Christ.

So we are putting tariffs on all the shit we don't need to make here.

And exmpeting all the stuff we should make here...and would actually bring some decent paying jobs.
