Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics

[Nomad]

You link say 37% - not 300 to 400% as you claimed.

Intel for instance employs thousands of engineers for chip design, most of whom are in the USA. Shifting where the chips are manufactured will have zero impact on that. Ditto the massive sales and marketing force.

Where are the stats to back up your dubious sounding figures?

These production plants will still need thousands of hands on workers to operate the machinery and work on assembly lines to produce the chips.

How far will the MAGA Congress let him wreck the economy?

Into oblivion. The MAGAts will let him destroy the country. They are the biggest threat and the US's greatest enemy.

Awesome response. So convincing. Bravo!

That's what happens when you present facts to @Hawkeye10. He curls up into the fetal position, continues smoking and drinking himself into oblivion, and starts slobbering nonsense about his slut, his mistress, and his sister he wants to fuck. That pile of shit is useless.

Noballs loves and supports China. If chip manufacturing returns to America, it isn't just the financial blow - but the theft aspect that hurts them. China steals every chip design made in their country. That's why China subsidizes Apple, Intel, and NVidia - so they can steal the designs.

America is the adversary of the country Noballs loves - there is a great deal of animus among the left against America.

While I find it amusing how you love to talk about yourself (Noballs can only be you)

I will say that it was refreshing to see you admit all of that about yourself.

I'm not shrink, but if there ever was a classic case of "delusions of grandeur", based on my limited knowledge of how people exhibit that condition - it's Hawk

When all Trump's tariffs finally work through the supply chain, looks like it could be some time in Sept. or early Oct and prices of everything we buy go up it will be too late to go back and everybody will have to pay more for everything and when it finally hits them in the pocketbook they will start crying.
I guess they don't realize a lot of them that are just getting by now will not have the 2400 dollars extra a year they are saying it is going to cost to spend on what they need and that important federal programs they had are not there any more and it is going to hurt not only them but a lot of other people.
They need to wake up , but it may already be too late , Trumps tariffs are going into effect.

Lurch rules. Lurch is great for America. Lurch hungry. Oh, shit! Now I'm doing it!

In dark ages this nasty staying loaded is the reasonable rational call.

but the Christ era is upon us.

Probably so. I think it's because he's substance addicted and delusional.

Bend over MAGATARDS

Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics

President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he will impose a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely raising the cost of electronics, autos, household appliances and other goods deemed essential for the digital age.

The unfortunate reality is that you can't trust anything Trump says.

Even he is not so stupid that he would impose a 100% tariff on computer chips.

Yes, when ones off their meds, if susceptible to mania, delusions and even hallucinations - left untreated, those symptoms only become worse with time. I don't have Hawk on iggy is because I find the way he is progressing, interesting. His communication style is much, much worse than it was a few years ago- with regard to how they reflect on him and how they seldom make any sense.

I will agree with half your post,
I agree you can't ever trust what Trump says that is for sure.
But he is stupid enough to put 100% tariffs on almost anything including chips.

Assembly in the US is not the same thing as manufacture in the US.

Yes it is. Your word games aren't going to work,

I would guess that less than 10% of that phone is "manufactured" in the US.

So much for your guess.

The GPU comes from Shanghai.

Arizona, Texas, and Kentucky are not in China, Poorboy. Not even Taiwan is in China.

WLAN chip comes from Tawain

Nevada is not in Taiwan, Poorboy.

The company that makes the GPS chip is headquartered in Italy and appears to manufacture in China

The SDTC is not in China, Poorboy.

While NXP, the CPU provider, does produce some wafers in the US, the majority of their manufacturing is in Asia.

The United States is not in Asia, Poorboy.

All those chips just went up in price with the tariffs.

Tariffs are not inflation, Poorboy.

He also seems to completely ignore the prices for CPUs and GPUs dropping.

That is an operating system - not the hardware.

I never said it was hardware. It's a standard.

Android is Linux based.

No, it isn't. Android uses a highly modified Linux kernel and Java, but there the similarity ends.

OL is just a lower end version of Android not controlled by Google.

Nope. It uses a normal kernel, and has the normal command set and languages available.

The current tariff rates calls you a liar, Finger.

YOU are one REALLY stupid fucking MORON you don't even know how to read.
There was NOTHING in my post about the current tariff rates.
IT says Trump is stupid enough to put tariffs of 100% on most anything and everything he wants.
Go troll in some other forum you FUCKING ASSHOLE.

It's not the same. That's why you see some labels saying "Made in...." and others saying "Assembled in .."

If it was the same thing, there wouldn't be a differentiation.
