Yep, this is certifiable. Our plans require the chips made in Taiwan for the foreseeable future.

What is the plan here exactly? No way we currently have sufficient capacity to replace Taiwanese chips www.pcmag.com/news/trump-t...

From all the news over the last 4 hours, it really does appear as if he is trying to crash the economy.

He’s the toddler at the beach who kicks and smashes all the carefully-built sandcastles others have built for no reason other than because he can… Seriously, sabotaging the US from all angles.

You have to understand Trump as a serial abuser. He was in an abusive relationship with America/Fed Govt. They rejected him and got away, then tried to use the law to hold him accountable for his abuse. Now he has control over his abuse victim and he's taking revenge for his narcissistic injury.

He really is the dumbest motherfucker ever

That’s how Trump will get the cost of his AI infrastructure initiative to $500B…he’ll raise to exorbitant levels the cost of the hardware.

Now this is just Faustian.

Now that Republicans have essentially declared that Republican presidents cannot be impeached, there is no way out. Trump has complete control to do anything and everything.

Good for China……..

Hmmmm. 🤨

He is trying to crash the market right?

nerdy.es•26 days ago

Sabotage.

brienmcmullen.bsky.social•26 days ago

He is bluffing, trying to force them to do something unrelated.

jmitchelldalton.bsky.social•26 days ago

Like voter id in exchange for disaster relief.

lipstickscribbles.bsky.social•26 days ago

Customs inspectors going to take apart electronics at the border to look at the chips inside? Will they need to bring their own 🪛?

michaeljameshawk.bsky.social•26 days ago

Market timing manipulation for options trading profits.

eveexamines.bsky.social•26 days ago

Total destruction. I guess. Interesting having a head of state that we know no one, including people in his inner circle, ever knows how much of what's going on he actually understands.

what the actual fuck?

sjlessman.bsky.social•26 days ago

AND he wants to terminate the chips act funding. Which funding was going to increase our chip production here to decrease dependence on Taiwan. Because who knows how long it will be before China takes over Taiwan?

That's $1.6b going to central Ohio alone. Wonder how JD Vance feels about that?

mikesilva.bsky.social•26 days ago

So much for Tim Cook kissing his ass with for a sweetheart tariff deal.

Whoopsie doodle!

xiaoha68.bsky.social•26 days ago

Trump also made negative remarks about the CHIPS Act which gives money to domestic chips manufacturers to establish new factories in the US.

sjlessman.bsky.social•26 days ago

Yep. $1.6b for Ohio alone. For projects already started under Biden. I wonder how JD Vance feels about that? This is gonna hurt Trump's blue collar voters here.

philliphyper.bsky.social•26 days ago

To be fair, the dipshit tanked a casino. That’s all this country is to Fat Caligula.

janus303.bsky.social•26 days ago

Not just chips, they make the vast majority of all kinds of semiconductors including basic transistors.

grove.cx•26 days ago

the plan is for people to pay more for stuff. that's it.

occasionalhyker.bsky.social•26 days ago

If you believe that his anti-China rhetoric is BS and that he WANTS dictators to win, then trying to kneecap a major industry in Taiwan makes sense. It weakens Taiwan's position vs China.

kmagnacca.bsky.social•26 days ago

I'm sure this is just the thing Nvidia wanted to see after their stock crashed today.

joeff53.bsky.social•26 days ago

Didn’t the CHIPS Act kickstart a big chip plant in US?

284electra.bsky.social•26 days ago

Yes, in Phoenix

arkla.bsky.social•26 days ago

Also in New Albany Ohio.

mmorgenschoen.bsky.social•26 days ago

but he says biden was dumb to give them money to build plants. smartass donald will tax them till blood’s running out of their ears and the only way to get out of this is building factories in the us, so they’ll do it with their own money.

tkk73.bsky.social•26 days ago

Putting the word out 💙💙💙

josephcappadonia.bsky.social•26 days ago

This is why I bought a new phone in December.

fishyfish479.bsky.social•26 days ago

Will certainly raise the chip prices.

dpickettny.bsky.social•26 days ago

He's telling the Taiwanese government to bribe him.
