And no small business owner has the clout to show up in the Oval Office and give the president a gold statue to catch a break.

Many small business owners get their health insurance through the ACA, which has been gutted with cuts taking effect in less than five months. The Republican party is, in so many ways, not the party of small business.

Correct. Shakedowns only work when your victim has extra cash to spare.

And every penny of those billions will be squeezed out of US consumers, while Peepaw Trump crows about the money rolling in and denies or lies about where it actually comes from.

I'm torn here. On the one hand, people who voted for Trump absolutely deserve whatever they get. This was never going to go any other way and these people just thought others would suffer while they watched with glee. On the other hand, innocent employees and customers will suffer. So... tough one!
