Wait...trump said CHINA would eat the tariffs, remember?

Now he's saying that an American company should "eat" them. It's so confusing. Why is he letting China off the hook now?

It's almost like the whole thing was BS and unnecessary to begin with, isn't it?

company to try to force them to actively kill their profit margin to help him politically.

And in this case the idiot will belittle and denigrate anybody who tries to tell him the facts. And when it doesn't work, he blames somebody else.
