The entire transcript of Time's interview with Trump is insane. Just to pick one moment: Trump says Biden would never do an interview with Time, then when told that he had asks how it went, then when told he can read it himself says that he had read it and it didn't go well time.com/7280114/dona...

Trump exempting computers & phones from the tariffs today means that Chinese-made laptops now have lower tariffs than European Cars, Mexican Steel, & Canadian Lumber. Also means Vietnamese-made laptops have a lower tariff than Ethiopian coffee, Indian tea, & Guatemalan bananas

Trump paused *some* tariffs. EU still facing 25% on steel and aluminium, including derivative products, 25% on cars and some parts, 10% on pretty much everything else — and more, eg on pharma, likely to come.

If you weight 2024 imports by the 10%/"reciprocal" tariff amount announced last Wednesday (with China at 54%, Mexico/Canada at 0%), the total tariff rate would have been 21%. Today, with China at 125% and Mexico/Canada at 10% along with ~everybody else, the rate is 26%.

Trump's list said Saint Pierre and Miquelon, a French-owned island off the coast of Newfoundland, with a pop of 6,000 has a tariff of 99% It doesn't. It had a massive trade surplus in 2024, because someone declared $3.5m worth of goods sent back to the USA, where it originated.

Defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe. If Elon doesn't understand that, maybe he should leave it to those of us who do.
