Trump tweets "Thank you for your attention to this matter!" to no one in particular

It's a 4-tweet chain of China rant tweets, but he is not addressing an individual.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

...Additionally, the remaining 300 BILLION DOLLARS of goods and products from China, that was being taxed from September 1st at 10%, will now be taxed at 15%. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

His tweet was actually intended for an Arby's drive thru and now he's wondering where his shitty sandwiches are.
