I probably should have put this in the I-1 is panicking thread...
quote:
President Donald Trump on Friday argued “badly run and weak companies” have blamed his trade war with China for flagging business in order to mask “bad management.”
His tweet comes as more companies from a range of industries have started to slam his tariffs on about $550 billion in Chinese goods. Earlier this week, more than 160 industry groups criticized Trump’s latest move to slap duties on Chinese products.
Trump, who has tried to pin blame on the Federal Reserve rather than his trade conflict with the world’s second-largest economy as concerns about a looming recession grow, said companies “are smartly blaming these small Tariffs” for their difficulties.
“And who can really blame them for doing that? Excuses!” the president tweeted.
