Smartphones, computers, and other electronics will be exempt from President Donald Trump’s steep China tariffs, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection revealed late on Friday night.

The real reason?
Apple, Intel, and other execs bribed him during an overpriced dinner.
This whole tariff thing has nothing to do with the country or international relations or manufacturing or whatever.
It’s just his latest personal grift. He just now has the power to say “every CEO in the world must personally give me a bribe or I’ll continue doing some really stupid shit.”
this is the most dumbest fucking idiot leader of any country in the world right now i swear
Not just right now; I’m sure he’d be in the running for dumbest in modern history too.
He’s not entirely dumb, he made his billionaire buddies a shit ton of money.

Video of Trump Bragging About Enriching His Billionaire Pals Draws Outrage
Most of the money came from other rich people because 93% of stock is owned by top 10% of USA.
Well, it’s your own responsibility to read politics.
I lump summed into his crash and made good money. No insider trading or anything. Just going against fear.
Let that sink in though, 90% of your people own 7% of the stocks.
Trump just invited the ones gambling correctly, it makes him look better. According to him.
Let that sink in though, 90% of your people own 7% of the stocks.
You forgot to take into account the large percentage that doesn’t own any stock.
He was manipulated into doing so. If this was at all his idea please show me the proof.
So he’s fucking over american manufacturing of industrial machinery by tarifing raw goods but not end results? It gets dumber all the time.
How odd to be cheering for China to stick to their guns.
Jesus fucking Christ. At this point I want him to go all in on tariffs and actually hold on so at least I know what’s coming. The fucking indecisiveness and Randomness is literally driving me inside.
The funny thing is that it’s supposed to stimulate US manufacturing. Like companies are going to invest years of time and billions of dollars building factories and moving production to the US, because of a tariff system that changes every 2 days.
I think that’s the point.
and MAGA was like, “HOORAY TRUMP IS SO AWESOME! see. i told you tariffs would only be temporary”
fuck joke of stock manipulation
Inbreeding is a hell of a drug.
I…don’t care. I look forward to a time when we’re having Nuremberg trials for the Trump admin. This too shall pass.
I envy your optimism
We are putting tarrifs on stuff we buy from you, because you make too much money on us. But we are going to remove tarrifs from the stuff that we buy from you, because we need them.
There must be a lot of lobbying going on behind the scenes at the moment!
You have 90 days to save your businesses dear Billionaires! They will soon open a bribing office to keep track of the corruption and agreements made during this period
