      It means China bad America good.

      Donald Trump had the right to defend himself and history started whenever China put counter tariffs on America.

    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.

    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.

      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

    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.
