      He forgot to buy stock before exempting it, so he has to redo

      He made up his mind a bunch of times already, he just waits until all his friends bought/sold stocks and then he makes up his mind again.

    He excluded Smartphones because Apple (who donated to his campaign) asked for it, I think they’ve realized they could just straight up ask him to tariff their competition away.

      What competition does Apple have that still has a tariff? I’m a little surprised he didn’t just come out and EO a program where any company that contributes X amount of dollars is exempt. Make Samsung pay also.

      I could imagine a few smart uses for a bucket of hair. How about “dumber than a potassium umbrella”?

          Surely chocolate teapot is th classic. Although that tastes good - I’d wager Trump does not.

    in my headcanon, Xi didn’t call so his plans to announce a china-self-made-“deal” didn’t follow through.

    this is another tantrum.

    The only good thing that came out of the Trump tariff is the volatility index going up!
