Trump threatens tariffs on imported chips and tech goods despite warnings about higher PC, smartphone prices

I am not reading your book. Trump won by landslide (house, senate, electoral college). End of discussion.
You seem to have not read any civics books either.

Trump was not running for the House or Senate...which is the Legislative Branch. He was running for the presidency...which is the Executive Branch.

Trump's electoral victory was not very different from Biden's EC in 2020, Trump's first EC in 2016, and were lower than both Obama's victories in 2008 and 2012.

48% of the popular vote is not a landslide. It wasn't even a majority.

End of discussion.

So what? those prices are here to stay and does not go away. That 9.1% CPI, 34% increase in rent/housing, and 24% increase in food is here to stay. In order for those prices to go down we will need to be in a deflationary period which is not good either way. Wage increases are only 2-3% a year.
Well, you did answer. Maybe you just didn't see my post earlier. Apologies.
But we all know for a fact everything you wrote here is exactly the opposite to your own words when Biden was President. We all leave a track record. And yours is easy to see as all of us and your hypocrisies are glaring.

There was a huge disparity in cost of living from 2020 to 2024 and It is clear that you know nothing about economics.
I am quite up on economics. For example, I doubt many here would argue the cost of living under Biden. But what you ignore (and always have) is that our inflation is WORLDS better than any other developed country during, post COVID.
Here is an interesting, WELL SOURCED read:

As the President of the World Bank said in June, the US economy is pulling us forward and is the envy of the world.


I am tired of the left dismissing how bad the economy was these past 4 years.
No, we are tired of you ignoring the easiest to find of facts.
Not to mention lying through your teeth.

You'd rather watch your country burn than to not get your way and America as a whole is tired of it.
Well true I guess but really only the last week+. tRUMP has lost 6.5% approval in 8 days!
A record! You must be so proud because we ARE, now, watching America burn.

You are such a shy little fawn, you don't care that we all know MAGA uses lies, as truth fails them.
 
Why not try having a civil conversation for a change? Drop the "Trimpanzee" name-calling, it only shuts down dialogue. You do realize that Trump wasn't elected because he was universally liked, right? Instead of resorting to insults, why not take a step back and try to understand why a significant portion of this country chose to vote for him?
WTF are you even talking about. Why, "U" is right next to "I" on the keyboard. I'm the worlds worst typist, my finger slips. Whoops trump, becomes "trimp". See, I can lie with the best of them too.

Who is "ron Disanctmonius", who is, "sleepy Joe", who is "kameltoe Harris"? You try and tell them what a tariff is. You try and and reason with them. Not my job. You seem to forget, I watched the Capitol riots LIVE. I watched trimp hover over Clinton's podium trying to intimidate her. Then Harris tore that piece of sh!t a new a**hole when they debated. All that came out of hat, was the MAGATs swearing " Chimp won..! < See, I even capitalized that. I"m making progress. I have no idea where you've come to the conclusion you can reason with these people. They just regurgitate the same bullsh!t. You tell them "tariffs will make prices go up". They tell you, "wull that's OK, it will make America great again".

I hope trimp does put tariffs on Canada. Then, when the lights go out, and you can't get lumber to build houses, a great cheer will erupt. "We told you that Canada should have been the 51st through 59th states". Assuming they can count that high. Well, what's the point, there will be no "illegals" to build new houses anyway.

You should check in at MSNBC. They don't like trimp either, but they don't fabricate news like Faux, and call it "entertainment". You'll see the US going to hell in a hand basket, point blank.

So no, I won't appease, engage, or coddle, people who simply haven't a solitary clue, as to what they're talking about. For all the bumpkins in the center of this country who, wouldn't vote for a "n****r". Be happy, you won. But do we have to be civil when they spout sh!t like, "we owned you libtards"?

There's a turd in the White House, that's blatantly profiting from his position. Did you buy any of his "meme coins yet? I've never seen anything that, and I've been voting for more than half a decade. You have another piece of sh!t in darling "Elon", who's over in Germany giving speeches to their far right crowd, hovering around looking to financially benefit by chopping poor people's benefits, while kissing the diaper trying snag another big tax cut for himself.

You want me to show some respect for these inb3ciles and parasites, that's a tall order. Which ain't gonna happen, ever.

PS, in an earlier post, I explained what the clinical definitions of the three most common pejoratives for people of low intelligence at one time were. At least until they were "politically corrected", that is. Pick a range, and you go try to reason with them.

BTW, Teddy Roosevelt "never met a man he didn't like". The trimpanzee however, never met a man he didn't insult.

The 2020 election was rigged not this one but nice try. You cannot convenience me Joe Biden who is way less than Obama got 81 million votes. Nice try but you are delusional and a sore loser

You don't understand that making it easier to vote (via mail) will mean more people will choose to vote? The 2020 election had a 3 million vote difference from the 2024 election. The 2008 election had a 2.5 million vote difference from the 2012 election. The numbers and subsequent changes in and after 2020 are comparable to other election years.

You still think the 2020 election was rigged...even though Trump's own cabinet, the three private investigative companies Trump hired to investigate the election, his own Attorney General Barr & his DOJ, his FBI chief that he appointed, his cyberchief Krebs, his chief of staff & his generals, Republican governors of swing states, Republican leaders in Congress, federal judges (including Republican judges) and over 70+ court cases, and even his daughter Ivanka all investigated the election evidence and concluded Biden legitimately won the election in 2020.

That's like someone saying "I am not crazy...the rest of the world is crazy." when everybody (including his own supporters and even members of his own family) points out he is wrong about something.
 
That's one thing you got right. They are both theories, but the difference is I was not on a forum complaining about election interference when Trump lost in 2020. I just moved on with my life and accepted the outcome.
You are on a forum spreading misinformation about the election. You clearly never moved on with your life and clearly never accepted the outcome.
 
There was a huge disparity in cost of living from 2020 to 2024 and It is clear that you know nothing about economics. I am tired of the left dismissing how bad the economy was these past 4 years. You all are delusional and that's exactly why Trump won yet again.You'd rather watch your country burn than to not get your way and America as a whole is tired of it.
In Trumps own words the economy is as good as the stock market. Stock market hit all time high under Biden.

According to Mr. Trump's standards, Biden had the best all time economy. I love how you guys like to switch metrics around when it fits your argument.
 
Trump has been trying to get TSMC to move production to the US...which they would never do because that would make them strategically worthless and make the US less likely to protect them. It is not the assembly of the perhipheral parts that is valuable but the creation of the semiconductors and microchips themselves that is valuable.

Trump's current tariff threat against Taiwan will be tariffing a developed first world country and a US ally to pressure it to move their crown jewels to the US.
Why do you post nonsense wherein you don't have a solitary clue what you're talking about? TSMC is in the process of building three (3) fabs in the US. One, is already up and running. This started on Biden's watch, not trimp's. Remember the CHIPS act? Biden passed it.

Here's that link, (for the 3rd f****** time). I should bookmark it.


And BTW, with TSMC on American soil as a (partial) US company, that's just as likely to be a tacit "mutual defense pact", as opposed to "letting them fend for themselves". But yeah, it could go your way as well. Hm, maybe that's why they're building three.

First off, no evidence was actually shown that China was in control, so I'm not sure if that's actually true, you'd think if it was the situation would have been on all news channels and not just from Trump.

Secondly, I don't even know how DEI actually affects anyone in the military, but as a defense contractor all we had to do was some "training" that was basically about not being an a-hole to people and that was it. It seems people just hate the idea of what it might be and not what it actually is. And so many people, assume anyone who is what they consider "normal" are automatically free from mental issues and people who are aren't considered "normal" are automatically unstable.

DEI never affected me and I don't see how anyone has been hurt by it. I refuse to participate in pronouns especially if a person looks like a dude, but wants to be called a ma'am, I'll just call them by their name or something else, but I've never had any issues where I had to state how I feel about it to someone who had an issue of me using what they thought was the wrong pronoun.
Yes -perhaps I should have said 'potential for Chinese control" or similar. However, their strategy is rather concerning -and pretty obvious if you keep an open mind.

The link below is very informative regarding the subject.


DEI started out, no doubt, as a well-meaning idea. However it quite quickly got submerged in stupidity by "The Left".
 
If my future is relied on a 3rd party, I would not threaten them to do what I want them to do. This kind of relationship is simply wrong and is asking for problem. Of course, you can point a gun to a guy and ask him do things but you don't know when and how that guy will stab you back.
 
US workers aren't being contaminated with heavy metals or work in toxic waste dumps. We don't have suicide nets around factories. It's. It perfect, but using the sub par work environment to justify slave labor in the supply chain is just foolishness. You seem more interested in insulting the US than actually addressing or even admitting that there is a problem.
All those things happen in the US too, especially suicides.

I'm not interested in insulting anything. I'm just stating facts.
