This is the sort of thing you do when you don’t know how to do tariffs.

Remember the names of the sellouts: Kirkland & Ellis Latham & Watkins A&O Shearman Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft Also kneeled to the wanna be dictator and gave $100 million+ of pro bono hours. All on the wrong side of history! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/b...
