Unless your business is directly impacted by tariffs being applied or reverted on a weekly basis.
- gkoberger 2y agoEven then, easier to get an exception (or avoid tarrifs on your product) if you spent the money to sit behind him at his inauguration.
- zzzeek 2y agothat's exactly when you want to pay your $5M fee to have a private session with Trump at Mar a lago, pledge fealty, and get your exception. then make sure you behave lest he changes his mind and has DOGE mess you up.
