    Just *a few days ago* they were saying we were going to build smartphones here now and we were all going to be given miserable factory jobs

    This whiplash totally made up policy based on the whims of the deranged emperor and his sociopath courtiers does permanent damage that can't be reversed

    This country simply does not have the labor force and manufacturing infrastructure to mass produce manufactured goods that require high precision tooling like smart phones.

    It's simply impossible now without an entire command restructuring of the economy that will take years if not decades.

    This exemption will for sure bring China to the table knowing how easy Trump folded twice in one week. Lol

    Lets build the factories 1st then bring in foreign workers as we see fit. Seems like a smart thing to do to me.

    No, but I bet it did make those in government a lot of money when they bought those specifics stocks the other day.

    Tech Products Will Face Separate Levies, Trump Says
    Trump exempted many tech products from his reciprocal tariffs but warned that more targeted duties are in the works.

    Get that man some Namenda and remove the tariff power from his little hands.
    Conservatives needs to Bidenize Trump before he does anymore damage.

    The cult is strong, look around here for proof. Mfers are willing to bankrupt their family for jerbs to come back that never will.

    The lowest number ever recorded for consumer expectations in the UMich survey.

    Thanks Trump, Elon, DOGE.

    Every element of the upcoming recession is completely artificially induced - i don't know if people realize how remarkable that is

    1 Musk/DOGE illegal layoffs/funding cuts & knock on effects
    2. Destruction of medical & science industries & university research base that is their backbone
    3. ICE & throwing people into foreign gulags depresses labor supply, raises costs & undercuts (2)
    4. Tariffs & uncertainty destroys entire industries in the US & raises prices
    5. Dedollarization accelerates 4 and causes fiscal crisis (also caused by Musk/DOGE destroying the IRS revenue collection) that makes it even harder to recover from upcoming recession

    And that's just the broad strokes, the complete destruction of Department of Justice, collapse of rule of law, legalization of crypto crime gangs - all of these systemic things pile on to the above.

    We had the most resilient economy in the world until Trump 2, we had the best of everything - now we are losing it all and won't be able to get it back in my lifetime.

    anybody who voted for him, any wall st CEO genius who thought they were just getting some marginal tax cuts, any Rogan Experience guy who thought they were just showing the wokes what's up, any 4chan b**** who relies on a keyboard to experience joy, any megachurch goer who praises the Lord on Sunday and then pulled the lever for Satan on Tuesday - you're all responsible for this **** and it's going to be more destructive than Pearl Harbor or September 11 combined times a million, in terms of harm caused.

    I think old white people answer a lot of these calls. Not that I'm all that young myself.
    But when I get a survey call of any kind, "Thank you," CLICK, immediately.

    Yeah, I'd hang on for some survey chitchat, but I....

    Wait until the people who pay zero attention to politics see higher prices at Walmart. They will blame Trump ... just like they blamed Biden for the price of eggs.

    Tough couple of days for the Democrats rooting for American's portfolios to decline so that Democrats can increase their political power....

    Valuable Lesson: Never make investing decisions based on your political anger.
