Yall, prices are about to surge, we haven't felt the impact yet because businesses imported as much as they could before the tarriffs started. You'll see the impact the next half of this year and Trump is going to TACO so damn hard and what will yall be left with to hang your hat on?

The first year of a presidency is supposed to be the most productive. Trump is going to lose the government for the GOP for years.
It’s called negotiation.

Sorry you have been dead wrong about all of your predictions so far. Don’t make me use the quote feature

And when I say dead wrong, I mean dead, dead wrong. On just about everything.

OUR DEAL WITH CHINA IS DONE, SUBJECT TO FINAL APPROVAL WITH PRESIDENT XI AND ME. FULL MAGNETS, AND ANY NECESSARY RARE EARTHS, WILL BE SUPPLIED, UP FRONT, BY CHINA. LIKEWISE, WE WILL PROVIDE TO CHINA WHAT WAS AGREED TO, INCLUDING CHINESE STUDENTS USING OUR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES (WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN GOOD WITH ME!). WE ARE GETTING A TOTAL OF 55% TARIFFS, CHINA IS GETTING 10%. RELATIONSHIP IS EXCELLENT! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

What have we actually achieved so far? The Vietnam 20% correlates to exports China exports through Vietnam. I believe trump is also using this to make back door deals for his personal interest - and then you have his buddy Putin. The $$$ claims for what has already inflowed has to be some theoretical projection.

And yet you have zero proof to back up your paranoid assumptions. How sweet.

Samsung delays $44 billion Texas chip fab — sources say completion halted because 'there are no customers'​


"The company is facing more than just yield issues, though. Recent geopolitical changes have thrown a wrench in the global expansion of several semiconductor manufacturers, including TSMC and Samsung. Despite resilient growth in AI and data center markets, demand for consumer goods and commodities remains subdued.

"Although yields have since improved, U.S. restrictions on high-end chip production for China have further weighed on the company, keeping its capacity utilization below the industry average," Trendforce analyst Joanne Chiao said to Nikkei Asia.

President Trump’s announcement of far-reaching tariffs has caused widespread uncertainty, but it has greatly impacted consumer electronics and automobiles — key sectors that order the most chips. The Chinese market is continuously growing despite that, but the ongoing trade war between the East and the West is making it difficult, if not impossible, for Samsung to deliver to customers in the country.


Moreover, Beijing’s realization that its dependence on Western companies for its chip needs has led it to push for semiconductor self-sufficiency. Even though it still lags behind the U.S. in cutting-edge chips, the Chinese government’s policies are resulting in the arrival of several new players that might make it the biggest provider of chip-making capacity by 2030."

China has been a key player in routing technology to Russia and facilitating Russia drone production capability . Bloomberg has a really good article on how they are tied in through multiple supply chain connections

This has nothing to do with a tariffs discussion.

This is a tariffs thread so i would say its applicable.
It was not applicable to your charge that I was incorrect by saying Americans pay these tariffs, now stop talking in circles and admit you were wrong.
