Doggfather vs. The Tariff Man

They sayin' the global trade situation is shaky and these tariffs got folks feelin' all kinds of ways. Rivian had to adjust their delivery goals for next year sayin' they gonna ship between 40,000 and 46,000 trucks instead of 46,000 to 51,000. That's like tellin' me I can only smoke half a blunt a day – ain't nobody got time for that!
