What happened to letting free market forces guide business and economic decisions ? Like the tariffs. They're based on how he wants to manipulate the situation to his personal benefit by either getting business leaders to bribe him for exemptions or forcing businesses to go along with what he's offering to China in his negotiations. It has nothing to do with any economic principles Capitalism, Communism. It's all Trumpism. Griftonomics.
