He won't do it, pure TACO. What's his plan to tariff the epstein files though? Many people are asking.

Lol, ok i guess we're manipulating cpu stock prices now get ready to buy the dips everyone. Us poors benefitting from stock manipulation is the quickest way to to get them to stop with this nonsense.
Just 100%? Why not 400% or 9999999%? Hell, invent a new order of magnitude, call it Trumpillion and impose a Trumpillion percent tarriff, that'll show'em how strong you are and will distract them from the Epstein files!
This is an amazing idea.
I'm sure manufacturers will have e their new supply chains and manufacturing plants ready to go in a few weeks.
I’m guessing this means the stock for some companies will dip and when it’s TACO time, his friends will be a bit richer?
The only thing that will stop this tariff nonsense is the economic collapse of the U.S. as a consequence. Narcissists thrive on attention, and we have a narcissistic toddler repeatedly lashing out for attention, and getting it. Every time he announces a tariff, every news outlet covers it, giving him narcissistic supply. Then, the leaders of whatever countries are affected by the tariffs are then invited to come and kiss his ass in order to try to avoid economic ruin, making Trump feel powerful and giving him even more narcissistic supply. Until the consequences fall with their full weight, which have been delayed by companies stocking up on inventory in advance of the tariffs, Trump is perceived as "winning" the tariff game. Make no mistake, the biggest loser with all these tariffs it the U.S. economy.
Do it, you TACO. Make it 200%.
I'm genuinely shocked that the .1% aren't pushing back against this kind of shit. Or are they just gambling that the inevitable depression will allow them to make out like bandits AND that it won't be so bad as to trigger outright societal collapse?
For a guy who hates taxes, he sure as shit loves taxes. He's such fucking moron. Please drop dead Donny.
Taxes on goods hit the working class waaay harder than the rich. This is just further shifting the burden off of himself
While I hate this, I’d love to see risc-v take off.
Wait, they're not all made in China? Last time we were ordering some for a development board at work, we had to source them from China, though that was admittedly a few years back.
If he wants to give up the supercomputing race this badly he can also just drop the export restrictions on high performance GPUs to China when he's at it.
Didn't he specifically end plans to expand silicon production in the USA? I'm pretty sure that's a deliberate act he took when he first entered office, so tariffing chips makes no sense unless he just doesn't want any electronics.
"Likely"? What kind of pathetic simping language is that. There is no "likely" about prices going up from such a move.
I am kinda hoping that our history books would read:
"...Jen-Hsun ordered a successful hit on Trump. Despite clear evidence, he was found not guilty by the jury, and news networks were very lenient. Those who threaten the gold, are liquidated. Fortunately, the working class still overthrew Jeff Bezos and the other overlords, despite their merciless nature."
Between AP reporting and Trump. The US will turn into cyperpunk in 20 years
Without the cyber, apparently.
Yikes, that would make cpu's as expensive as gpu's, and gpu's, well, unaffordable altogether.
He will exempt companies who makes chips in the US - as long as they make some of them in the US, their imports are exempt from the tariff. A quick glance says major chip makers (Intel, AMD, Nvidia) have some production facilities in the US.
Greed. Hes pure greed. Satan take him to the right rung of hell. Make him eat gold coins and poop them out forever.
Nvidia investors are getting so hard right now!
He is not going to leave willingly.
His brain is melting in real time. He's not making it through the term
As long as he is alive he can be propped against a podium to say racist, upsetting shit, then Stephen Miller and more clandestine moneyed interests like David Koch and Peter Theil pull the strings of the party and movement. Its probably better for operators heavily invested in Trump if he's less intellectually competent.
Wasn't Biden's chips act meant to encourage chips and semiconductor manufacturing to be shored in the US? What's Trump doing nuking everything with tariffs? Surely, the oligarchs who bankrolled him won't appreciate this.
Edit: clarity
Doesn't Apple still use Samsung chips? Or is that something from past assembly?
About everyone uses non-US chips in the US. Think about anything digitally controlled, and there will be at least one non-US chip in it. Sometimes dozens, sometimes hundreds.
Just another point to show that Trump has no clue about anything business.
Last I heard the Apple M series chips are made by TSMC, but maybe storage chips could be from Samsung?
The cool part is how no one needs these and this won't impact our economy in the slightest.
