I admire Donald Trump because he's unapologetic in his views, never backing down from a challenge or fearing criticism from others.
Re: Trump Plans Tariff On Computer Chips Made In Taiwan by gigabyte13: 4:02pm On Jan 28, 2025
Trump does not know what is about to it him
He just dey jump here and there
He is just promoting a counter reactional attitude from the world towards the USA.
The USA is not invisible, and not self sufficient he needs other countries to balance up.
Trump is upsetting this balance and risk losing the world respect it has earned over the years.

USA is not self sufficient and invisible l repeat.
I hope this food wey Trump dey cook

Oh my God!

Is it that there is no economist in Trump administration to explain to him what tarrif is and who pays it.

Trump is so ignorant. When Trump impose his tarrif on china electronics in his first administration, china retaliated by imposing their own tarrif in America especially their agriculture because China is the export destination of America agriculture.

American farmers loss was estimate of $250 billion. If affected their agriculture too badly even their department of agriculture felt it. What did ignorant trump did, he just bailed them out with $10 billion.

What is $10 billion bailout compare to the loss of $250 billion ? China has to import their agriculture products through Mexico, India, Germany, Netherlands, Australia etc.

So who loss ? America. Thats why Trump is a clown.

The world does not revolve around anyone. If Trump continues with is economic bullying, A global Allies of resistance will ensure and America will be isolated both politically and economically.

Trump , Bringing America Back to where she Belongs Before .

This Man Knows So Many things Going on which is Affecting the American Economy,

Yes They must come back ..
Nonsense.
Freemarket economy does not work with populist sentiments.
Economics 101:
Industrial production will always go where it is cheaper to produce.
US and other Industrialized nations lost their manufacturing advantage, especially in the chip sector, decades ago. They can never regain it back.
Secondly, the global economy is now more intertwined than before. No nation can isolate itself and survive, even the US.
Even though the US is the largest economy in the world, it is also the most leveraged economy. A slight traumatic shift in any of its economic pillars could cause a cascading domino effect that can devastate the economy for years.

This meglomaniac fuul in power will definitely destroy the pillars of US economic and geopolitical power in the next 4yrs.
Let's sit and watch.

The worst part is that USA is more of a service economy than a manufacturing economy.

They have lost their manufacturing abilities to China and they won't get it back. Be it by economic tarrifs, sanctions or even by war. They won't get it back.

They have lost it. Trump is just beating a dead horse.

The food trump dey cook for other countries. They will finish it but they one they are will cook for him, he no go finish am.

Trump's use of tariffs to pressure countries is worrying. He's threatening a 100% tariff on computer chips made in Taiwan, pushing companies to move production to the U.S. instead of relying on foreign manufacturing. While he aims to boost American industries, his aggressive approach feels more like bullying than diplomacy. Calling him the "Tariff Lord" might be fitting, as he uses tariffs like a weapon to get what he wants. It's a bold strategy, but it risks harming international relationships and trade.
The first thing it will do is create greater inflation in America.
And no, America does not have the labour to produce at the level China/ Taiwan do.

I can see Trump's method to his madness, he wants jobs back on US soil and it may even be in US interest, but the problem is , an American worker won't be prepared to make chips on the salary and terms of a taiwanese or Chinese worker. Result, costs of chips go up

Then the issue is US chip makers compete globally. Assuming they made their chips in the USA, at the end, it could become more expensive than chips made by non USA companies. Result, Us chip makers lose money compared to international chip makers.

The economy is too global for tarrifs.
Which jobs?

Unemployment was less than 5% when Biden left office.

Dubai became what she became due to relaxed tarrifs, let's see what Trump can make out of this.
Re: Trump Plans Tariff On Computer Chips Made In Taiwan by epainos: 4:14pm On Jan 28, 2025
I was curious myself to try to understand the sense behind the billions of dollars Biden gave out then...and for these companies to still use cheaper labor in China and Taiwan. Trump is telling them to build the damn factories in the US.

Trump has a valid point here. Just imagine the billions of dollars OpenAi has been using which Elon Musk had criticised many times in the past before Trump's intervention as wastage. Only for China to launch a better version last week only with a small fraction of what OpenAi used...better than Google's Gemini and OpenAi. And even offering free services that ChatGPT is charging $200 per month.

Seriously speaking, Trump is making moves to put America back in the leadership position; however, things will not go easy like that. China will fight back. China is already big. Really, time will tell if Trump is doing this at the right time. Yes, he sounds like the right thing for someone who is pro-America, but is it the right time to do them? Are they using the right approaches? Hmmmmm!

Yes and I can remember under Clinton when it was below 4 percent, yet even then many Americans were crying as if it was 40%

The average American thinks his government should reduce unemployment to zero, then that is a good government.
