CEOs/CFOs must 'mind' the shareholders' interest, or be sued by the shareholders.

So, corporate either jacks up the price on other merchandise to keep shareholders happy, or they increase prices on affected items.

It's puzzling why the buffoon ignored this reality, and even more
puzzling his immature perspective of tariff issues. He screwed the
pooch, and now wants others to cover his wrongdoing.
