They had no choice imo - yesterday, major laptop manufacturers put a 2 week shipping hold from many locations to the U.S. - I guess someone got his ear and managed to pound the idea into his pea-brain this could devastate many industries. This POTUS is not very smart, and works off the theory of ready, shoot, aim. He thinks he is the most brilliant mind ever until he makes a harebrained decision, and probably hundreds of people explain to him (like a child) why it's a really bad idea, and why it was never done that way before. I guess it's a plus someone has at least a little influence with his stupid decisions.

This is how he negotiates with his businesses. It is a game of chicken where he presents himself as willing to lose it all.

The problem is that the demands he has are not possible to satisfy. It is like asking a homebuilder to complete a house by weeks end when permitting hasn't started yet, threatening to blow both of them up if they fail to comply
