So here's the thing, I am 99.99% with you on your sentiment.
But then I have to ask myself, "HOW TF is that even possible? Or was there more to it? Was that the plan ? Did he gain something bigger from doing it?"
I'm not saying he's some genius we just can't comprehend. I'm saying he's a criminal and I wouldn't put anything off the table.
But yeah, he's probably just that shitty at business; but still? I hate this timeline.
Hell there are businesses already building a local stockpile of raw materials and part; been doing this for MONTHS. Other's not accepting long-term contracts that might bankrupt them if they are caught having to fulfill them post-tariff.
This all adds to the cost of doing business even if the tariffs never happen. Guess who pays since most everyone has to do it (read: there's no competition when all the players pay the vig!)
