He also didn't know that the infrastructure for implementing tariffs was not present. So all the while he's been using social media to impose tariffs, those tariffs have not been collected. To the shock of no one.

Pundits claim to understand political and economic trends. However, no expert addresses what mentally drives the president's decision-making.
His unstable state of mind disrupts the country, yet this topic remains taboo.
Media: roll back the Goldwater Rule and invite psychiatrists to discuss it.

sarahcconner.bsky.social•1 day ago

We all know what drives the "president's" decision making:
1. Grift
2. Revenge

Yeah, he's unstable. Insane. There is no other reason. He's not playing 4D chess.

Not all electronics are exempt. There are 33M small businesses, many of whom sell other electronics that are not exempt but commonly used in business or households. But yay for the big companies and their profit margins.

reply

lineardave.bsky.social•1 day ago

According to google, electronics made up 21.6% of imports from China last year.

Trump probably got a message from Tim Cook saying that iPhones would cost U.S. consumers $3000+ if he follows through on the tariffs.

Call me a cynic if you must. But, it is impossible not to wonder what ‘gifts’ were bestowed on ‘Dear Leader’ to ‘earn’ these exemptions.

What about small businesses, farmers, fishermen, and others who can’t afford to play in the D.C. Swamp?

Can you say corruption?
