Meanwhile China has restricted the export of many of the raw materials used to make computers, phones and chips. Someone is getting spanked and it isn’t China. Trump should be wearing a collar with a Chinese flag on it, maybe a yoke too.
This is beyond retarded and virtually incoherent. If we were really going to onshore manufacturing, this is literally the ONLY manufacturing that makes sense for Americans to do. We’re not going to be building widgets and fucking lawn decorations and other bullshit in this country. What a moron.
So like the whole point, they said
Yeah, folding like a hyperactive kid’s origami project.
Prices are still going up and companies are pocketing the difference with even more price gouging. Nobody seems to be stopping them either. Never mind the reciprocal tariffs that got added on top of everything else by other countries.
Dude was worried they would have his head when iPhones started costing $3k
Cool, but the prices that were raised because of tariffs won’t go down so quickly. It’ll just go into the pocket of the corps.
Deflation is a four letter word to these people, and I have seen economic pundits excoriated for even mentioning the term.
The consumer won’t regain what was lost without a fight.
So the multinationals are fine but small businesses are crushed. Make economy recede again!
Tim Cook has been suckingTrump off since the beginning. I hope they have losses.
Well, they can think of it as a PR stunt/lobbying that helped get this done.
Man I almost bought a new phone ahead of the inevitable price hikes.
Cut the shit, asshole.
Funny how these are sold on his store as official merch.
My feet hurt just from looking at that
Watch scumbag tech still list tariffs as a source of cost increase
Thank YOU Trump for Allowing these Exemptions!
-Americans who Thanked Trump for the TOTAL Tariffs just a Couple Days ago!
Basically, a lot of the important shit that the CEOs of companies who contributed to his campaign depend on. So, he is caving, but only for his big donors.
I hope China doesn’t back down, though, and keep their counter-tariffs in place until all our dumb tariffs are taken away. Bullies only understand force.
he is caving, but only for his big donors.
He’s also caving for China – at least, they still benefit greatly.
Guess Tim Apple’s
inugration donationbribe paid off.Still a terrible person and CEO.
Lol, if china implemented an exit tariff on USA for the items they want.
these electronics are literally made in china; it would be hard to image that they won’t take some sort of action.
Oh what’s that? Couldn’t find people to screw those tiny screws?
That didn’t originally mean Brave New World totalitarianism by distraction, it meant doing things the common people wanted and needed. Juvenal was an elitist and thought that the state should serve the ruling class and nobody else. So no relief from hunger, and no public ceremonies or events that the Great Unwashed could participate in.
Yuuuuuup! The excesses of a decaying society
