Donald Trump and White House officials walked back a Friday announcement that there would be tariff exemptions on imported electronics.
In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump directly denied the tariff exemption announcement.
…
“This is really mind-boggling. If this was serious industrial policy, the main thing you want is certainty: ‘Here’s the tariff, it will be in place for the indefinite future, and you should plan accordingly,’” Dean Baker, an economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a left-leaning think tank, said, according to The Washington Post. “Here, it’s basically: ‘Come back next week and see what we’ve got.’ That’s no way to run an economy.”
Did Muck and Zuckidiot had a meeting with the orange men begging him to not put tariffs? What about Cook? Oh my oh my, smells like market manipulation and Bribery 1 on 1. Very incentive indeed.

He puts the “if” in tariff.
And the “con” in economy.
Maybe the con in panopticon?
Once again there are choosing the course of action that sabotages their power the most.
If they want to move investors, they have to change the rules once in a consistent way that looks stable, and convince them that an investment will have time to pay off in the new environment. By changing the environment constantly and in contradictory ways they make that impossible.
I bet all those manufacturers that decided in the 3 days that the tariffs were active on electronics to move all their operations and build new factories to America are happy that their decision was the right one after all.
The rules will surely not be changed again.
Apple supposedly flew 500 tons of new phones from China to import them before the tariffs came in last tuesday lol
I honestly can’t get enough of it. All these shitty business owners are finally getting fucked over by their special baby and he’s breaking their backs lmaoo
we’ll beat the tariffs, I’ll bring my inventory over before they go into effect
spends exorbitant fees filling planes full of phones
tariffs are suspended
(ノ゜ο゜)ノ
tariffs are suspended
Tariffs came in last Tuesday, were removed on Friday, came back on Sunday. I expect Tim Apple is loving the daily surprises.
I don’t think Apple really lost much money doing that. It’s not like the phones are going to spoil. They’ll just send the next batch of new ones from Taiwan to backfill the inventory.
They definitely also ramped up production and ran huge overtime to get those phones delivered before the deadline. I’m pretty sure they’re taking a hit for that. The whole point was to get them in before the deadline and then sell them at the inflated post-tariff price. Now that whole idea kinda doesn’t work out. It’s deliciously hilarious.
A little wishy, a little washy.
As for me, I managed to get banned from a channel on here. They posted an image of vegan shoes so I followed the joke up with some reality…YouTube allowed videos of how cattle are stunned and then skinned. I didn’t add any text so they assumed I was glorifying that shit.
Such is life I guess. Maybe I should impose a tariff on my neighbors to feel better about my self.
Bonds are gonna crash and we’ll do this all again tomorrow.
The opposite of the infinity chancla
Snip snap snip snap snip snap!
That bit has been stuck in my head for a minute now, with all these re-reversals.
Do you have any idea the toll this takes on the economy?
MAGAt mayhem that is what they do best.
The good thing is that there’s a steady hand on the wheel exercising unprecedented levels of power. He clearly has a plan to do things, undo them, redo them, undo them again, etc. according to a clearly defined plan.
Imagine if the guy claiming dictatorial powers was just winging it from one moment to the next. What a nightmare scenario that would be.

a clearly defined plan
I believe it was a concept of a plan
I’d be okay with going back to a concept of a plan.
The fart of the seal 🦭💨
MOAR PLEASE

We should make this emoji combo a thing, it’s beautiful in it’s simplicity. I, for one, will be using it more often.
🦭💨
Everytime I see Donald Trump’s picture, I make farts noises like he shitting his pants on purpose.
Yeah.thisnisnboth incompetence and public Insider trading. They’re not even trying to hide it
Apparently they are using the unplug “technique” that musk used at twitter.
Now I understand what trump meant that tariffs would make child daycare easier. Because if everyone is unemployed then they have more time to watch their kids
we’re so past 5D chess that we’ve hit the Curse of Dimensionality…
