Very stable genius

He excluded Smartphones because Apple (who donated to his campaign) asked for it, I think they've realized they could just straight up ask him to tariff their competition away.

What competition does Apple have that still has a tariff? I'm a little surprised he didn't just come out and EO a program where any company that contributes X amount of dollars is exempt. Make Samsung pay also.

Trump is dumber than a bucket of hair.

in my headcanon, Xi didn't call so his plans to announce a china-self-made-"deal" didn't follow through.

this is another tantrum.

The only good thing that came out of the Trump tariff is the volatility index going up!

Its obvious here. He threatens corporations who dont submit to the regime. If you play ball then he undoes it. This is all consolidation of his illusion of power. I say illusionn because these people live in a state of Mind that most of us will fortunately never experience. .
