Donald Trump on Tuesday told CNBC that he will gratefully “remember” U.S. companies that do not seek refunds for the tariffs he unilaterally imposed, which the Supreme Court later ruled were illegal.

Trump’s comment on “Squawk Box” came a day after U.S. Customs and Border Protection opened a portal for importers to seek more than $160 billion in potential refunds for the so-called IEEPA tariffs.

He was asked about a number of large companies, among them Apple and Amazon, that have not filed requests for refunds for the tariffs they paid, potentially because they are worried about “offending” Trump.

he could refresh his memory of if he ate corn last week by checking his pants

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

When did McDonald's start serving corn?

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 2 points 30 minutes ago

It is the second ingredient in most of their drinks

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

Well there's a hollow threat.

[–] pfunk1978@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Bet, somehow, doesn't remember shit

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

🎶 I will remember you. Will you remember me? 🎶

[–] Rusticus@lemmy.world 20 points 19 hours ago

With any luck American voters will also remember, since they are the ones who paid for the fucking things.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He? Remember? He probably has forgotten what he had for breakfast when he left the room.

[–] BigBrainBrett2517@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago

Came here to say this. But then realised it wouldn't matter because he would just lie about it if asked anyway 😂 "I had breakfast, it was the best breakfast. It broke records for how fast and everyone complimented me about it."

[–] DisgruntledGorillaGang@reddthat.com 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No he won't, he can't even remember what he had for breakfast this morning.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 day ago (3 children)

That'd be easy to remember, it was a big Mac. Same as last night's supper, second breakfast, dinner, the afternoon treat etc etc etc

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

big macs: boil 'em, mash 'em, put 'em in a big mac meal

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

What's big Mac, precious? What's big Mac?

Golltrump

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Narcs are often compared to gollum.

Yet Sleepy Don still can't remember.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 4 points 1 day ago

That's the point. His brain is so damaged that he can't remember stuff he does every day.

[–] hamFoilHat@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

The companies in question: Person llc, Woman Inc, Man Co, and Camera and TV inc.

[–] Bieren@lemmy.today 19 points 1 day ago

This motherfucker can only remember what someone told him 3 seconds ago.

[–] JTskulk@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would immediately ask him what he had for breakfast yesterday if he said that to me.

The tariffs WE PAID. Those fucking companies jacked up prices to cover them. Now our tax money is going to pay them again.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 71 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And then, they’re keeping those prices high.

Taxes this year were brutal. Fucking. Goddamn. Brutal.

Trump is suing our own government to steal these. He's doing it right now. He's a fucking traitor.

[–] notwhoyouthink@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Corporate bailouts to the rescue…again.

Just like he remembers the Afghans that helped fight with US soldiers now at risk of being deported to the Congo?

[–] Lucius_Sweet@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Or like how he forgot the name of the woman who gave him her Nobel peace prize the very next day.

[–] drascus@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 day ago

No he won't. Statements like this have all been bullshit and everyone in the business world knows it.

It's not as much "remember" as if a company wants a favor from him, they can point out they didn't seek tariff refunds and he MIGHT do it.

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 180 points 1 day ago (6 children)

According to his tests, he can only remember four words.

He won't remember anything, he's too fucking stupid.

WE, however, are going to remember EVERYTHING, and he is going to pay for every crime he has committed. Either he will, or those elected leaders who won't punish him will pay, and THEN Trump will pay.

Isn't that a threat a mob boss in the movies would say?

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 52 points 1 day ago (3 children)

He has 4 modes: mob boss cliche, bigotted old asshole, self aggrandizing liar, and demented confused fool. They are not all distinct and he does like to mix and match. But they are all equally pathetic.

He can’t remember the start of the sentence he’s actively speaking, his memory will play no structural role in any of his future retaliations.

[–] NoForwadSlashS@piefed.social 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He doesn't even remember how to control any of his sphincters
