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.
What he is saying makes no economic sense. He is an economic illiterate like Buhari and with the arrogance.

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.
The foolish man and his die hard fans cannot see beyond their noses.

The topic here is about Trump and his American people but you still found a way to bring Yoruba issue into it. Why are you people so obsession with Yorubas? They definitely live rent-free in your head.

These children of hatred and their alarming level of inferiority complex is just out of this world. You can’t survive without Yorubas hence your obsession.

We do understand though, you can only be obsessed with what is bigger than you and what you aspire to be.

Keep at it. Your existence depends on it. Pathetic lots

My dear, most of the parts are not even made in America anymore - for a very long time already. So you know nothing.
Beyond the Display Glass and very few chips, everything else is made in China.
You're a novice, kid. And you know nothing about anything.

Made in China doesn't mean made by China.

Wetin dey worry this one?

Do you know my location?

Before your papa know where US dey , I don dey.

Less then 5% Americans are unemployed.

Trump can say anything he likes it won't change that fact.

If we go by Musk and Vivek, it's probably because a lot of Americans are dense, that's why they can't take up STEM jobs.

I admire Donald Trump because he's unapologetic in his views, never backing down from a challenge or fearing criticism from others.
He wants to destroy the US economy and you're praising him.

Have you used it? I have worked on it and currently building a project around deepseek API. Deepseek is better than chat Gpt bro undecided it response time about 1.5x of chat GPT with up to 85% accuracy compared to 82% accuracy of Chat GPT.
The recent chip maker stock crash is an evidence cool

Try it out here https://chat.deepseek.com/sign_in
Bro cease being over excited about the US downfall... Stocks didn't crash cuz of better chat box, it di cuz it's new and equally good in the sector...

Only Saudi Arabia will have an election or Putin will announce invasion of Ukraine , stocks will crash...

Bro don't b carried away

Not just that, the moment some producers stop exporting their products to USA because the prices of their products will soar and many Americans may not be able to afford, the prices of alternatives available to them will equally start to rise due to low supply. The future of America under Trump will be interesting

Trump, every production in this world can't take place in America. And no country has the monopoly of tarrifcs. Tarrifcs can also be placed on US goods entering other countries.
Lastly, it is US citizens that will pay those tarrifics by paying more for the same goods.
