Does he know which deals he made? Lots of countries have agreed to lower tariffs. If he changes the agreement one-sided I guess there is no deal.......
Because he’s a complete idiot and doesn’t understand how the economy works
The Republican Political Party promises to undermine the tech industries in America.
If they did that it might be a good thing considering the technofascist future Thiel and Andressen are dreaming up for us. I say one of them has pissed him off and will need to grovel. Could also be a market manipulation. WhoTF knows with this fucking moronic fucktwat.
So all they need to do is buy some land and kick some dirt around for a few years. What a clown.
Another fake threat generating sensationalist and misleading headlines. Any tech company making a vague promise to build a factory in the US would be exempt. Another lie to make his stupid MAGA believe that he's going to take the US back to the 1950s. Morally, certainly, financially, no chance.
Why make it even harder to produce them? It makes no sense. Make it make sense! Ahhhhhh!
That’s for your $100 billion investment, Tim Apple. Sucker.
Because semiconductor companies have the capital to build fabs overnight to start production here. What an idiot whose goal is to destroy our economy.
Opening day for production would be 5-10 years off. Trump destroyed our supply chain before he had anything to replace it.
Yup. They can promise Trump to invest a zillon dollars and he will be long gone before a single chip is produced. Key chip manufacturers, such as TSMC, GlobalWafers, and Samsung, already have facilities in the U.S. (Biden's Chip Act helped move that agenda forward).
By that point China will likely have already invaded Taiwan. Trump has no clue what he's doing. He thinks tariffs are a magical manufacturing win button.
So so stupid.
It will be funny if the EU responds by denying export permission for ASML EUV lithography machines, which are made in the Netherlands. There are many other countries which would be happy to take them. Like all sociopaths, Trump thinks he holds all the cards. He doesn’t.
apple exempt of course ... because tim cook debased himself
Another day, another distraction from Epstein.
Fucking idiot.
It’s OK he’s gonna get a 1500% decrease in your prescription medicine so you’ll be making money because the pharmaceutical company will have to pay you to have them because there is no such thing as a 1500% reduction😳
Just don’t buy apple or American as long as they kiss trumps’s ass
The potato farmers will be happy.
He’s trying so wield more power than he actually has. The US tech industry is #1 globally, but under Trump, that position is getting fragile. Morally, financially snd politically bankrupt is Trump.
Fruitloops.

Operation Destroy America humming along thanks to Dementia Don.
Not sure how this is going to make prices go down...
But I heard that gaming was saved with this president! Surely this won't have consequences on hardware prices...
What the fuck and how does this even work? It is like word salad. Who even enforces this and what does ‘commit’ mean?
Hope you're happy with your vote GA! Say goodbye to all those jobs Biden got for you!
Didn't he pre-announce just such a deal with Foxconn in 2017? How'd that work out? He works from a shallow playbook.
yep, and Japan, Korea, now the EU. You just make the promise, buy some Trump crypto, and let him look like he's winning something. Art of the deal, there is no deal.
“We’ll take ourselves back to the Stone Age and show you!”
All US based electronics manufacturing stops.
White goods, automobiles, planes, home accessories, light globes, the list goes on.
This criminal and his administration trying to make more money ! If markets would be honest to stop this insane shit it would collaspe !
NO semiconductor companies are moving to the United States. NONE.
Why would they? They know ping pong brain could reverse any agreements or enticements the very next day.
America, get ready for foxconn 2.0 ...ferretcon? ...squirrel con? #epsteinfiles
Hes an idiot
Great so now electronics are going to get even more expensive thanks to yet another #magatax
He is an idiot.
The king, unimpressed byTim Apple’s gold offering, smites him for trying.
The geriatric old pedophile missed nap time again
Imbecile
Killing the US economy in two weeks
Pedo POTUS going to burn the country down just to avoid releasing the Epstein files 👇🏼
Tell me when my money is worth shit.
Trumptardedness
Oh no, not with the tariffs again! The guy is stuck, in a loop, the more tech oligarchs kiss his ass, the more tariffs he will impose. That’s just the kind of FOTUS he is.
No one will ever upgrade their iPhone again…
Stop your bullshit! Release the Epstein Files.
🤡
Jesus, he is retarded.
TRUMP Continues to screw over the American Economy. Tariffs on everything. Just makes us the consumer pay more and more. When does this madness stop!?
Sorry, Sir (tears in my eyes) can you repeat that same thing four more times again.
REAL REPORTER: "What does 100% mean?"
Idiot
Trump has dementia and no longer understands remedial maths.
Magats can use the money they make from big pharma, who will be paying them to take their drugs with Trumps 1500% discounts.
So much for the American computer industry.
Effectively sanctioning American consumers.
He is just a complete d—-.
rip us
Good grief. He's constantly looking like he's ready to give somebody a blow job. His face is getting worse.
That will just drive up the cost of smart phones, computers & etc. enormously! That asshole doesn't know what the hell he's doing. 😏
There was a time when Microsoft wanted to embed Windows Everywhere(tm) and so claim a piece from every transaction. Trump has found a way to do that via tariffs. He doesn't want to add value, he wants to extract payment from as many as possible.
Steve Jobs must be rolling over in his grave. If he was alive today and PsychoUnit 47 tried the bullshit Tim Cooks is swallowing he’d have told Psycho to f**k off.
Who needs those things anyway, sheesh.
Having worked in the semiconductor industry for over 26 years I can tell you without a doubt, that building a new fab is not like pitching a fucking tent. And the building phase is phase one of multiple phases of cranking out a viable product. This goes for any industry.
Not to mention with the policies changing on a daily basis, what company would be stupid enough to risk that kind of investment?
What an asshole.
^^ THIS ^^
That stupid SOB.
AYFKM??? Say buh-bye to the US economy. 😡
Honestly he did this to Apple in first term, where is that 200B they promised? Promise again, buy some Trump coins, and go about your business never delivering.
Biden’s CHIPS and Science Act was an excellent way to shift the buying of chips & semiconductors to ones built in the US. This stupid tariff will only make US citizens pay more for tech. He will NEVER understand how tariffs actually work! Such. A. Moron.
So he's on west Taiwan's side.
Biden was building 2 factories with the build back better act! What happened to them?
To be fair (😝), here's an area where he could legitimately use numbers like 1500%. (It'd be stupid. But not incorrect.)
Why????? That will further hurt all kinds of US goods!
He doesn't know what a semiconductor is. Has he started telling his " wheel" stories yet? youtu.be/8r34xgH2ZLM?...
Calls on Nividia, JS
Rinse and repeat that’s what was they were trying to do at first. This has been 8 longest months ever in the history of USA and to think we still have 3 years and 3 months. Now watch him try to stay in office for another 4 years
#TACO
...at least it reaches the floor...inch wide.
Full blown MADNESS‼️
The interesting thing about these tariffs is that Trump's name is all over the Epstein files.
Enjoy your more expensive IPhones
Sleepy donnie
Trump is a wanna be dictator pedo pos. Revolution can't come fast enough.
Maybe he’s referring to French Fries ? … chips as we call em in Scotland..
Yeah that must be it...anyhoo we can make ours perfectly nice ourselves no tariffs needed lol
While simultaneously withholding chips actually funding from contracts that would bring chips manufacturing to the US all because he doesn't want Biden to get the credit he deserves.
Trump thinks these are the chips and semiconductors he’s putting the very large tariffs on.
So items that are reasonably scarce and in high demand will now be sold elsewhere bc we won’t be able to afford them. Got it.
Does he know that intel is pausing their 20 billion dollar factory in Ohio because they don’t have customers yet. And if they did the factory is not scheduled to be opened until 2030.
I’m going to cut off my nose because I’m a clown.
What, not 1500 percent?
More numbers pulled straight out of his 🍊 rectum 🤮
Lunacy.
I thought I read Apple moved their product from China to India to try and get around the tariffs wars?
"Maybe 99%. Maybe 101%. Depends on my morning... uh... movement."
Good job tech bros 🙄 forcing this traitorous numbskull on us again is going to be the ruin of the USA.
Right now, everything is a desperate attempt to distract from #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #Epstein #Maxwell #PedoPresident
I’m so sick of his idiotic behavior.
If only republicans in congress had a fucking spine.
TACO thursday incoming?
Moron
Tariff trump.
Dipshit trump.
Whaaaaaaaat? We’re charging, but we’re not charging. Good gravy. Dementia on full display. He’s sundowning. 25-47.
He says he wants to bring manufacturing back to the US but everything he does says otherwise
FOOL!
He couldn't distinguish chips and semiconductors from chips and salsa.
Dementia Don
Um, why?
I don’t recall any president in my lifetime talk so much about tariffs… does he have nothing better to do? Like actually run a country? Today, I will rise tariffs. Tomorrow, I am holding on the tariffs. I am getting whiplash every time he speaks. Stop fucking with the tariffs and do your job!
Yes, he does. He's a sh1tty employee.
Tarrifs go directly to the government which he is actively converting to an autocracy so it’s quite obvious why. Why is this so difficult to understand?
Well he thinks the US government's money is his money so that tracks. He's just giving himself a bigger paycheck.
It's always about him, for him, and in his best interests
Rhetorical question… but thank you for your comment.
He is doing his job. He’s destroying America just as his boss, Vlad, instructed.
It’s a power trip…by a demented moron🤔
His dentures are slipping
Are Cheetos exempt?
He just cannot shut the fuck up. Geezus I hate him so.
This idiot is not going to stop until our economy is completely decimated and the rest of the world has just written us off as lunatics.
I guess its time for some market manipulation again.
Sounds a lot like a “planned economy”.
“We” are broke bc of T
He’s just mad because Biden signed the chip bill
A 100% tariff on chips? Trump’s plan to bring back the Stone Age is right on schedule. This isn’t tough on China—it’s dumb on America. Prices will skyrocket, tech will stall, and your phone will cost more than your car. It’s not a policy—it’s sabotage.
He did that so NVIDIA stock would skyricket today and his Wall Street buddies would take profit. He will TACO before Friday
Please Federal Circuit - issue your opinion fast!
Putin’s project is coming along nicely. Far exceeded his expectations. America demolished and set back generations. MAGA
Has no idea everything has chips, cars, appliances, etc.
Donald Drumpf is an ignoramus of monumental proportions.
But the numbers reports will all be perfect😒😡
Just in time for XMas‼️
Apple is exempt. This is to get all tech leaders to kiss his ass; that’s all this is. Everyone that wants to work in a factory all day making chips, raise your hand!
Using "tariff" and "charge" interchangeably. Which is accurate. Oxford defines charge as "a price asked for goods or services." What is the good or service Trump is providing?
"YAY! THAT'S INCREDIBLE, THANK YOU!", said no one.
Translation:I will kill you all financially 🙄
BS.
That will make everything from consumer electronics to cars to appliances much more expensive. My bet is that he TACOs on this as soon as someone manages to get it into his pudding brain how economically destructive it would be.
We are already in hell so why not.
Addendum: Should say CHIPS and Science Act seems to be in limbo/a bit hamstrung while being renegotiated by the current admin. Not sure it is being implemented as passed in bipartisan vote. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
Arm twisting? www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...
See U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, no mention of his shitty form letters or the president alone can impose tariffs. He and Project 2025 aren't gonna be happy until they have completely ruined our country.
Trump learned nothing from the problems during Covid when supply chains crumbled and we couldn’t get enough chips for manufacturing assembly in the US. If US manufacturing of chips and semiconductors is not up and running at speed this very moment, his decision is totally incompetent.
Yeah, that'll work.
#TRUMPPEDOPHILE VIVA O BRICS A NOVA ORDEM MULTIPOLAR MUNDIAL! PH○○○d🅰️©️€ o império decadente do ocidente!!
Why be so skittish. Just go 1500% and no one can afford them anymore in the US. What an idiot.
Or 1500%?
That makes you pay more kiddies. Tariffs are regressive import taxes.
Trump has no idea what he is doing but the morons are going along with it. WTF
I mean to say the guy has been bankrupted 7 times. 😵💫🥵 share.google/1C3Cqs311EHH...
im sure that will kickstart the whole conomy.
and Tim Crook is playing along with this ididic game. not condemning Apple’s intention to invest more in America, but i condemn Tim Apple for participating in this BS show. no one has to participate in Trump’s clown show to announce the intention of an investment. it makes everything unbelievable.
Captain Brainfart just making shit up again.
Economically illiterate moron. The UK 🇬🇧 can’t stand the racist felon
OMG for a moment I thought that was a pic of Ivana (his first wife) 😅 cf. www.gettyimages.fi/detail/uutis...
Me too!
I see it! Lol
...Melinia prays every night...a long with the rest of us.
Melania isn't a victim here
One of his trafficked tickets.
Yeah there's only so long an adult abuser gets to blame other people
Sorry, but that's his whole life.
No idea what that means
Dump lives to blame someone else...his whole 🧬.
Yeah that still doesn't make sense
Tariffs on chips is where his wheel of chaos landed this morning.
Glad it wasn't 1500%
That's the prescription drug discount he's negotiated. Duh.
There you go, let’s just drive their prices up and make them completely unaffordable😒
Makes sense that as part of his dumbing of American. He wants to control/limit access to computers/Smart phones. Soon they will be too expensive for the average person, he’ll sell his cheap version that probably monitors your every move + limits access. Dictator wants to control everything 🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡
No problem - chip fabs take a few weeks to throw together. Add (approximately) two weeks for calibrations etc, and it's off to the races!
Wait, is that why Tim stopped by to drop some gold nuggets on Donny’s desk?
Good times
Yes I'll have the word salad
He hasn’t got a clue what he is doing
He knows he needs all the raw material and minerals to make those right???
Doubtful.
Hahahahahahaha. No.
Absolutely not...
At this point in our demise I can't imagine anything that would have been different the last 6 months unless utterly destroying the country and reducing the population by tens of millions, was the real goal. He wants us a wasteland with all financial resources in his own pockets when its over.
But, what about Epstein? #Epstein
What exactly makes that scrambled egg of a brain of his think these tarrifs are a good idea??😣 We are in the hands of a f'ing lunatic 🍊💩😡
100% you fucking pussy. make it at least as good as the 1400, 1500 % Decrease in drug prices. Trump is dumber than the rose garden lawn destroyed to put in a parking lot!
Ah, trashing more of the US economy in the hope people will stop talking about the Epstein files… classic
It’s like he wants to kill the economy.
He does. This is by design. Crash the economy, ultra wealthy buys up everything, and we, the now only poor class (no middle class) will work for pennies and thank them for it. This is a lot like how it happened in Russia and other countries with dictatorships.
Can you imagine? Why would he do that? It’s like he hates America!
HE DOES.
Tarrifs go directly to the government which he is actively converting to an autocracy so it’s quite obvious why. Why is this so difficult to understand?
He does. He’s Putin’s boy.
Exactly! It’s all deliberate.
The Grifter-in-Chief got a deal from Putin he couldn't resist, no doubt. All he has to do is hand over a broken America. 🤬🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🍊💩
Pedophile NAZI Trump was planted by Putin, to destroy USA.
Or maybe it just makes this criminally insane megalomaniac feel like a big man when he make these ridiculous announcements😣 The orange toddler just wants attention. He doesn't care if it's good or bad. 🍊💩😡

This man is intentionally screwing us in every way possible.. EVICT HIM NOW..!!
Fxxk him
Buy. Nothing.
#TeumpTariffs THE PUBLIC pays these tariffs, The GOVERNMENT receives these #additionaltaxes Trump makes money with every tariff. The harm Trump imposes makes him richer. Trump is #AssetStripping the U.S. From his Meme Coins on Day 1. Trump is making enough money to protect himself fullstop.

Extortion and BS
Why does Donny display such zeal for levying taxes on American citizens and does so hate to levying sanctions on Russia?
Psychopath bla bla bla-ing .
What a STUPID FVCK!!
“Approximately 100%” LOL he is just absolutely making it up as he goes along.
He's probably the first person to tariff his way through it.
You are 100% right. Just say things and climb over the WH roof. How many ways can we get fucke%?
he has concepts of a plan
Thank goodness they lessened the incentives from the chips and science act amirite- sticks are so much better than carrots
Meh nobody uses those anymore, like groceries.
youtu.be/DEseiA72yVM?...
At this point I think it’s clear this whole tariff thing is just him fishing for more bribes.
In other words: no one will be buying tech in the foreseeable future. ✅
To stop communication - fluff them🤬🤮👑💙
Short selling is an investment strategy where an investor borrows shares of a stock & sells them, anticipating the price will decrease. The short seller then aims to repurchase the shares at a lower price &return them to the lender, profiting from the difference between the sale price & the buyback
As Trump tries end Biden’s Chips Act. Trump is an evil clown.
Mr Shit-For-Brains says what? JFC what a moron.
Oh boy shit is fucked now
The worm has jumped back to Trump
Remember the Biden-Harris Chips & Science Act?
I do. I also remember that Apple has already started to make investments to produce their M class silicon in the U.S. This is just playtime with grampy Dementia Don.
Oh, remember the CHIPS Act the Biden administration put in place that was the planning phase for *actually* bringing critical chip manufacturing to America? Yeah, this guy actually knew how to govern!
Epstein? Who’s Epstein? TARIFFS!!!!!!
Why stop there? Make it 1400%, at least it's possible to increase that much rather than decrease
Well, we now know he doesn't understand how percentaes work, so who knows what he means?
MEANING there is going to be more taxes on Americans
He is an idiot. I just can’t even anymore
“There will be no charge…in other words, we won’t be charging” 😂
The man is a genius; nobody can cause this much damage by accident.
What about salsa?
Trump: We are going to be putting a very large tariff on chips and semiconductors. Approximately 100% . If you break a mug, you gonna pay 100%. I know more about chips than everyone. 😆😆😆
He ought to be searching for a dentist! Ya see his bottom teeth are black & filthy, like his diapers
Orange Pedophile said what?
