Good column. Your column months ago about tariffs was very instructive. Wonder how American businesses feel about supporting Trump; about dealing with tariff issues in exchange for paying less taxes. Many will surrender to Trump as he uses tariffs as leverage.

Thank you for those kind words.

Major corporations will try to get tariff exemptions that benefit them, and Trump has already shown that such exemptions are for sale. Ultimately, businesses will likely fare the same as the general population: the wealthier you are, the less pain you'll feel.
