Is the resemblance to a bunch of intimidating thugs something he's trying to do deliberately in that video?

Apple was exempted from his first term tariffs on China, in the first administration. Biden maintained those tariffs and exemptions.

One of the big reasons for moving from tariffs to income tax early last century was because it’s such an obvious corruption surface. I’ve always seen it as the conservatives’ job to push for lessons from history. Now we just have two progressive parties.

Trying to imagine a conversation between GK Chesterton and Donald Trump.

Wasn't it fun on Capitol Hill today?
Somebody, maybe Schmucky Schumer, lit up the Dingbat Signal
, and everyone of those NPC goofballs from Spartacus to Pocahantas and even Senator Shit, were spouting the same market manipulation BS. 
Aye, lads, 'twas absolutely hilarious watching those idiots try to astroturf up an issue. Oh. My. Giddy. Aunt
Only things missing were Nancy Pelosi, a brass band and a lizard fucking contest.

Your post has inspired me to look-up "how do lizards mate," which led me to this:
https://a-z-animals.com/blog/how-do-lizards-mate/From which I learnt, among other things, "Mating lizards have been observed remaining in an awkward mating position for ten hours, ..."
Ten f'ing hours!
But this video is only 2 minutes long:

It's cute they call them "fact sheets", which this administration uses anything but facts.
For example, in the one above, please let the record show Qatar will buy "AT LEAST" $1.2 trillion of American goods/services. At least! Could be eleventy kajillion!

And because I can't help it, note that the "fact sheet" that talks about "AT LEAST $1.2 trillion!" outlined some of the key deals. These key deals are so big that after they outlined them, the of total $1,200,000,000,000 (1.2 trillion) now they only have $998,500,000,000 (998.5 billion) left to explain where the commitment is!
