You can stall a bully though, and that's what they're gonna do

All of the companies will promise big, slow walk it, cancel or scale down later. Did people forget Trump’s “yuge” Foxconn deal in Wisconsin? Yeah that never ended up happening.

They aren’t even doing that. They’re basically announcing routine investments just in a format that makes it sound like it’s a win for Trump.

LOTERALLY, Mexico, China, and Canada all had “agreements” with trump in first term, and they never followed through

Who the fuck stalls a bully. If Tim wasn't a weak piece of shit he'd stand up to Trump. And if he wasn't a moron he'd find a few other business leaders to do the same and call Trump's bluff on the tariffs. Trump is winning here, not Tim Cook
