      He’s not trying to go to war with Trump, I’d wager. Just trying to insulate the company from bad press when prices inevitably go up. I’m sure they are also trying to gently encourage the electorate to contact their representatives to avoid the problem altogether.

      Either way Costco is going to be ok, and he probably won’t be as likely to get the Luigi treatment.
