Smartphones, computers, and other electronics will be exempt from President Donald Trump’s steep China tariffs, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection revealed late on Friday night.

This is interesting. Who got to him?
Probably every angry Republican donor in the tech industry.
Apple and windows are good guesses
Guaranteed Bessent or someone else said “Mr. President the populace is going to lynch you if you keep this up.”
🤞
The Chinese, really. I have little sympathy for the CCCP, but immediately standing up to Trump’s aggression was the right call.
The dumping of US debt really fucked up your plan, eh Fat Hitler?
Then what if the process doesn’t stop? Bonds interest keep on rising until June-July. The not independent anymore central bank intervene and the USD devaluation gets spectacular!
Fat STUPID Hitler
That would imply that OG Hitler was smart - that I am not so sure of
But this hitler is so incredibly dumb, the other one is the defacto smart one by comparison
I guess those manufacturing jobs won’t be coming back to the US of A. And I was looking to get rich taking a job from one of those robots screwing in those tiny screws.
I was hoping to marry one of the robots that will manage the robots screwing in tiny screws and thus not have to work
My career is in automation. I’d be the one turning the screws on robots that can’t turn those screws themselves.
look at this social climber here!
beep boop
Sounds like someone at Apple finally told him who was really in charge.
So this is the turning point. He now realizes tariffs are not working and he is going to sabotage his own tariffs to reverse course while pretending he’s not.
Elect a moron and you get a moron. Guess he truly does represent his voters.
Well yeah the billionaires already profited on the dip that was the point. He’s been in power for 4 months or so. Let’s see how many times he tanks the economy or guts federal programs into various coffers so the rich can profit over the next 44 months (assuming that’s the end). There’s still so much untapped wealth disparity to increase
What about disposable vapes? I’m really not interested in carrying around a giant douche flute to get my nicotine fix.
You should consider reading the article that was posted for your convenience, instead of expecting to be spoonfed the answer.
You should probably read it yourself, instead of posting a jackassy comment. Vapes aren’t mentioned in the article.
If vapes aren’t mentioned, then what does that tell you?
That they could maybe fall under the “other electronics” category, and that my original question was a valid one.
AAPL gonna rocket.
Aw, I was so looking forward to being a screw turner in a US iPhone factory.
Guess that’s what you get with the art of the deal.
Stupid is as stupid does. Oh wait… I got that wrong. Liar is as liar does.
Aaaaand, they already changed it. Fuck this dumbass administration
How about industrial parts. It’s one thing if your android or iphone doesn’t go up 200% (or whatever ridiculous number he’s chosen in the last five minutes), but how about things like car parts, machinery, or appliances?
Edit: but wait!
