A Furious Trump Demands Someone Find Him Another $200 Billion Worth Of Chinese Goods To Tax And Yes, I’m Serious
Just when you thought it couldn't possibly get any more ridiculous and petty, it does.

Reminds me of the Amazon US postmaster ordeal.
Nope. The Orange one is too dumb for that. Soros did tho. Billions of ’em.
