Live updates: Trump announces sweeping tariffs
-
No, it's half the tariff those countries place on American goods. Or so he claims. I have no idea where those numbers come from.
He doesn't understand what VAT is.
-
Trump: Meta will invest $500 billion.
Truth: Meta will invest around $60 billion.
Thats a gross mis representation of what’s factually correct in monetary terms.
This fucking asshat is going to sink the American economy. No major company is going to do this. Why would TSMC spend “$500 billion” to build a factory?
Them just paying the tariff would be less than building a new factory. They just need to survive trumps term and frankly, when the U.S. can’t get chips at an affordable price from Taiwan, those tariffs will fall away like a pillar or sandbar high tide.
Absolutely dumbest fucking turd on the planet.

Do they not know the meaning of "reciprocal" or are they just too fucking lazy to question the White House's rhetoric even a little bit?
The state of the United States makes me sick. We're being robbed blind buy the oligarchy in broad daylight while the media gleefully amplifies the administrations lies.

Maybe because he’s waiting until the election is over? He’s probably noticed by now that he’s hurting Canada’s Conservative Party.
That, or he might actually like Mark Carney. The entire tone seemed to change after they spoke.

Everyone should be boycotting the US, especially those inside of the US.

What is looking like more of an idiot than he already does going to accomplish? He's the most idiotic politician in living memory, by far, and there are some absolutely colossal morons on that list. The people who haven't figured that out are never going to. They will be praising him until the day they die.
Never underestimate the destruction that stupid people in position of power can do.

by other nations selling their goods to us cheaply, and by them accepting our Dollars that cost us nothing to make for it!!
I don't think Trump understands the benefits and privileges for USA of having the top international reserve currency.
But maybe if he ruins it quick enough, he may find out?Play stupid games and win stupid prices.

It isn't quite that easy.
The US is a MASSIVE part of basically every luxury industry and isn't insignificant in many others. So while alternate trading partners can be found to handle stuff like lumber, plenty of industries are going to be hit real hard and not have alternative customers. And they aren't going to just want to lower their profits for national pride.
But yeah. I REALLY hope trump is just actively destroying the US either in the name of putin or just out of anger and spite over not winning in 2020. Because the alternative is that we are all going to suffer so fucking much because that piece of shit doesn't understand what tariffs are.
Luxury goods are not really hit by tariffs nor taxes the same way more basic goods might be. A $ 4000 that goes to $ 4 500 is way more manageable for the kind of people who want to and can buy it (it may even make it more desirable for those who want and can't buy it).
