    Today news is released that trump now has exemptions in the tariff war on smart phones, computers and chips.

    Are you fucking kidding???



    The whole purpose of this tariff war is to bring these components back to America to be manufactured here, not sneakers, combs, mouse pads, tweezers, tshirts, slippers, chairs, not that garbage but to bring back major production lines like smartphones. Semiconductors, chips and computers..... the entire point of these tarriffs is to bring every bit of that back and what does he do, he exempts those most important components.... I just don't understand what this game is about.. this is a damn outright clown fucking show....

    Im going to make a prediction that in 5 to 10 years you will not see any new factories and and all those millions of jobs they predict coming back to America is just nothing but make believe!!. Everything they claim about this tariff war is lies.

  3. IT is called intermediant mercy for crybabies and emotional people ? Are you a crybaby? Just asking. You seem quite emotional about things. Are you gleefully wanting markets to crash so you can rail about Trump?

    The Wild Trump Theory Making the Rounds on Wall Street
    QAnon for tariffs

    By Rogé Karma

    To the untrained eye, Donald Trump’s tariff policy over the past two months has looked like an incoherent, inconsistent, self-destructive mess. But have you considered the possibility that it is, in fact, the first step of a carefully orchestrated master plan to revive American manufacturing, reduce the national debt, reconfigure the international-alliance system, and deliver the greatest geopolitical deal of the century?

    That is the thrust of a new theory that has been gaining currency in Washington, on Wall Street, and in the financial press. The grand bargain that Trump is supposedly planning to strike has even been given a name: the Mar-a-Lago Accord.

    Miran said this wasn't the policy though.

    It's so China saves face, avoiding something kinetic. Also calming the bond market.
    Trump wants to make a deal, it's just business.
    Don't retaliate is the key. Trump will aggravate the world until the new deal is fair and square.

    The whole point was to have these tech titans producing here in the US...like I said all this talk of bringing jobs back and manufacturing in the USA is nothing but lies. In years to come you will see only a handful factories being built here if that...thousands upon thousands of producing factories will still remain outside the US. None of them will be back.
