    Damn, that’s not fair. Boeing were doing their best to make their planes unbuyable with their absolute trash company culture resulting in tons of safety issues. They almost had it on their own and now the trade war madness is stealing their thunder.

    It’s like shooting a man that is about to jump off a cliff. Just let them cook. They got this.

      Trump: I’ll trade you a shitshow of stupidity and backstabbing friends while rivals watch me smear shit on my face and I blow my enemies. In exchange I burn my country to the ground for no reason.

      China: Deal

      Americans: Deal

      Russians: Deal

      Rest of the world: WTF!!! Ah, fuckit. Deal.

    If they are flying them back, they should pay the 145% tariff. After all it is China paying it, right?
