Holy shit, is he fucking stupid? Or is he simply bought by China now? Because he has been softer on China rhetoric recently.
Holy shit, is he fucking stupid?
Well, yes, he is. You can’t get more stupid than punishing your own economy by imposing insane tarriffs on vital products you are unable to produce yourself.
If he wasn’t rabidly anti-China, he’d remove the 25% special tariff. He just so anti-china, he hates both of them.
What the fuck is he doing
Undermining the USA. All the signs are that he’s working diligently against the USA’s interests in everything he does. The question is, is he stupid and being run by people with a stupid agenda, or stupid and being run by people with a smart agenda that serves some other power?
Cutting the US Industries throat?
This is crazy. It is going to massively increase the cost of most leading edge computing devices (in the US). Seems like Apple in particular will be hit hard; are Americans going to go shopping in Canada to try and get massive discounts on computing electronics?
I wouldn’t be surprised is there is a downstream price effect in other countries as well (some measure of price increases to align with US dynamics).
Putin handed Trump the manual for destroying america from within, while whispering in his ear, “this is the genious handbook for leadership”.
This so highlights the difference between good policy and bad policy. The previous administration worked towards improving America’s access to chips by setting policies that encourage chip manufacturing. This new administration isnt taking steps to make more chips here, but trying to make it harder to get chips from other places.
And this is why I bought one of those new M4 MacBook Pros ASAP shortly after Trump was elected.
