President Donald Trump claimed on Friday that companies who have pushed back against his escalating trade disputes have done so in an attempt to shift blame away from internal mismanagement.
"Badly run and weak companies are smartly blaming these small Tariffs instead of themselves for bad management...and who can really blame them for doing that? Excuses!" the president wrote on Twitter, without elaborating.
The White House did not immediately respond to an email requesting clarification.
Trump has sought to blame others for backlash over his standoffs with China and other trading partners, which have fueled existing concerns about slowing growth in the US and elsewhere. Polls out this month suggested support for his approach to the economy has waned and that Republicans would at least partly blame him in the event of a recession.

Trump knows all about badly run companies because all of his fall into that category.

I am sure this latest claim of his will endear him to the business community who helped to get him into office in the first place. He's such a moron.
