    Trump is a populist, and populism works by claiming that someone else that they are fighting is the enemy of the public and the source of any problems in society.

    “Of course he was pissed,” one of the officials, granted anonymity to speak candidly, told CNN. “Why should a multibillion dollar company pass off costs to consumers?”

    It sounds the trump expects every company to eat the tariffs. I do not see that happening, and if the big corporations do, it will drive all smaller business out of business if they cannot afford to absorb those costs.

      There isn’t an issue on earth that he doesn’t see as transactional.

      “I make money for you, you cover my ass” is his one and only worldview. Whether or not anyone else explicitly agrees to that deal is irrelevant. He simply can’t even imagine a world where that isn’t the default that everyone has.
