Don’t let anybody tell you Donald Trump has no heart.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that he was delaying some tariffs on Chinese imports ahead of the Christmas season to stem their potential impact on holiday shopping.
Awwww. Thanks, Don – now we can shop til we drop to make Baby Jesus happy.
The Trump administration announced hours earlier that it would delay some of the tariffs, originally scheduled to come into effect on Sept. 1, until Dec. 15.
I guess Don suddenly saw a calendar.

Or he was visited by the Ghosts of Trade Wars Past, Present, and Future.
Thing is, most of the Chinese made Xmas merch is probably here already, or en route in container ships.
So, he’s admitting that his tariffs are affecting American consumers. What happened to “trade wars are easy to win”?
If someone finally managed to get him to understand that tariffs are born by domestic consumers, he’ll forget that fact as soon as it’s convenient for him to believe otherwise.
