Trump is basically a sad fat kid in a classroom that just cries and screams when shit doesn't go his way and then ruins everything for everyone else.
Ah yes. Our sworn enemy: Taiwan.
It would be comical if it wasn't so sad.
Trump is on china's side. Make no mistake he like their way of doing things.
Trump had to tariff someone or else he was going to look stupid for never shutting up about tarrifs.
He's going, or is, senil. The tariffs are just something that got into his head that are simple to understand.
he is going, or is, senile
How the hell we’ll be able to tell
Did you see the vid where he thinks Spain is the S in BRICS?!

It's going to impact American consumers a hell of a lot more.
Came here to say that. Americans pay the tarrifs. He's raising prices for American consumers.
Is America great yet?
Has it ever been?
There has been a lot of greatness in US, but the people fighting the good fights seem to be losing right now. Just slowly, a little year by year. Hopefully this a kick in the pants too fucking far and we wake the fuck up and see we have to actually do something about it.

Surely this will bring egg prices down.
Lol, I'd love to watch everyone in the US paying triple for literally anything that has electronics in it.
If Trump then wants to build chips in the US, good luck. ASML is the only one with the machines, first of all, and by the time he can buy those, something tells me they might have some extra tarifs added to them, and then paying US salaries for electronics would skyrocket prices to people having to pay four-five times the amount of what they're paying now.
Not saying that the near slavery conditions in Asia are fine, that should have changed decades ago, but the way trump is doing this is hilarious, people will want his head on a plattee

lol is he even trying to hide being a Russian puppet anymore?
Wat
China I get, but Taiwan ? It's literally a US-proxy state
I mean Puerto Rico is literally part of the US and that doesn't seem to matter for them.....
I'm sure that orange fuck will try to sell it to "beautiful" president Xi, or to clean it out to stop the conflict, or something like that, that bubbles up in his senile demented brain.
Wildly bad ideas at exactly the right time in history to do the most damage.
What a goddamn dumb fuck
thats one way to make sure openai can stay competitive
As someone who actually approves $$ for tech vendors in an American company, I can tell you that no matter how cheaply China-based services become, they still aren't going to be seriously considered. Anthropic and OpenAI are based out of San Francisco. Legal jurisdiction to resolve contract disputes, breaches of confidentiality, etc. can be resolved in a fairly straightforward way between two American companies, especially when they are headquartered in the same court district.
Chinese companies exist inside of a legal safe harbor where they have less incentive to play by the rules, and a much lower risk of consequences for getting caught breaking them. The risk isn't worth the perceived savings.
One of the main features of Deepseek is that you can run it yourself. It doesn't matter if Deepseek are based in China if you run the model on your own servers and thus guarantee that your data doesn't leave your own data center.

Trump is going to use Tariffs to try to offset making larger tax cuts for the wealthy.
It’s better that he does this now so that we have a solid recent example to point to of how this will impact what we pay for goods.
Never mind we have 100 years of data backing this up, people are idiots and won’t recognize the treat until it hurts them directly.

And they’re not even trying to create American jobs with this crap. The CHIPS Act is paired with a “chipmaker’s visa,” which intends to import cheap labor from Taiwan to work the US chip factories.
It does not make any sense
That’s because syphilis hasn’t mushed your brain
Wait until his voters see their toy prices flying up
His voters seem to think it's Taiwan that pays the tariffs.
Can't wait to start putting Trump "I DID THAT!" stickers next to $5000 walmart laptops
