Dr. Jesus' thought is,...

If he gives the illegal tariff collected back to big corporation,...

the big corporations in turn will share the reimbursed tariff money with consumers who's pocket the tariff money actually came from.

If you don't trust the corporations to do the right thing it is your own fault and it is all on you.

Just another giveaway to corporations because they charged consumers more and now they get their money back. Plus, the kids made deals on tariffs that only benefit them if the tariff got reversed. What do you know almost like they could predict the future.
