Folding like a cheap suit after making duuuuumbfuck decisions.
A true American hero.
The conservative savior.
A cult.
It’s a cult.
At least he made all his billionaire backers a lot of extra money from all of this.
Now this loophole will make sure everything is a cell phone or computer. Every toy will suddenly have gps a gig of ram and a touch screen. Micromachines are going to be lit.
Even potato chips will identify as micro chips.
ZeroCool flavored Doritos.
No. Even a large tariff on a 3$ piece of plastic that retails for 20-30 won’t be worth adding anything.
I’m not so sure about that. With tarrifs of over 100%, manufacturers can add over a 100% to the cost of production and still come out ahead… Alternatively they could move production, but that only makes sense to do if it’s cheaper than adding just enough electronics to make the items exempt from tarrifs
“with tariffs…manufacturers can add…come out ahead” - do you imply manufacturers are getting anything? This is not them who rsises the prices, they won’t see the money
if they reduce the tariff on their product and charge the same post tariff price they could make more profit even with higher manufacturing costs.
That’s more or less my point. They won’t come out ahead but at least they won’t have to raise the prices as much so they’ll be more completive compared to manufacturers that don’t include electronics
That won’t work, because building a new factory takes 2-5 years and if the tariffs drop at any point then you’re stuck with a product way more expensive that nobody will buy.
They? They like “manufacturers”? They can’t reduce tariffs, the tariffs exist against them, it’s only the orange who introduced them can reduce them.
What a pussy. Got a call from Tim Apple and caved immediately.
I feel like the uncertainty is worse for business than the actual tarries at this point
Tim apple sms’d him a single picture.
Course, the picture was the back of his neck in a sniper scope.
Sometimes pictures speak louder than words.
And some pictures transcend language and random rants of gibberish.
after all his cronies got on TV talking about making iphones in the US … fucking lol.
And somehow american gagging only made the Chinese dick grow in its mouth.
Art of the fellatio.
I’m starting to think this Trump guy doesn’t know what he’s doing. /s
Not any more!! you cannot trust a word that comes out of the shit gibbons mouth hole.
Come on China, send a message and slap export duties on them until Trump buckles again.
Just outright embargo the US, period.
I like how you think.
You mean Americans are spared from tax on smartphones and computers.
If electronics fall out of favor, it will be harder to profile and track us
US/Trump blinking continues. If electronics jobs were both desirable and already on a partial progress groove, then surely apparel/toys tariffs are next to be removed, and then only US military electronics will be 145% tariffed, if not blacklisted by China.
Trade deficit with China just substantially increased. US energy, ag, big ticket industrial exports just went to 0.
Is switch 2 a computer?
The iPhones must flow.
Tim apple got to keep making owner thris profits
he has to poke all of these holes in his threats, and this tells me he’s not bluffing. the end goal is not negotiation, but a huge tariff wall.
I no longer have a retirement plan
you dont want to keep your propaganda spreading technologies unaffordable
