I think the word he used for moments like this was “complexifier” though what to do here really isn’t complex at all.

Mr President: Here’s the cost to Apple to move its iPhone/mac production to the US. Here’s what your tariffs would cost us wo relief. Now here’s the much smaller cost to move our hq to Vancouver. What’s your cost if that happens? I know what you would do in our shoes. So …

I want to believe this is the end of this story. Instead, I suspect they’ll incarcerate him in Louisiana ICE detention, get another immigration judge to overturn “withholding of removal” on new “evidence” and then send him back. These guys double down when they are wrong. They don’t back away.

The swiftness of your response suggests that you haven’t read the piece yet. If you’d read it, knew who he was and what he supports with his own money, I’d be surprised if you still felt this way. I know exactly who he is. Known him 25yrs. He’s on your side.
