Wait - so he postponed ALL the tariffs, not just those on fireworks?
Ehhhh - that sounds to me like the work of more than just one man with $3/4 million worth of fireworks.
If this is the result of just ONE guy with only $3/4th a million blocking $300 BILLION worth of tariffs - then - uh - good? That’s a hell of a lobby! Too bad he can’t just do the right thing for no reason, but this is next to no reason. This guy is a goddamn hero.
I’d argue they are STILL overall getting hella good protectionism from that tariff, even though it isn’t enough and they are looking to cheat the system set up to protect them.
The truck market is solidly Ford and Chevy thanks to this tax, as they don’t have to compete with so many other companies directly like they do with cars (and are losing to Honda and Toyota). Nissan is the 3rd big maker and they are made (at least mostly) in the US due to this tax.
