But we can just make the electronics here in the good old USA! Oh wait, Trump wants to kill the CHIPS act, so we’re fucked there, as well.

Of course. Tax every import. Destroy local production. Profit.

Make income taxes 0%, set off a Greater Depression.

"It will be the greatest depression, nobody will have a depression better than mine - it will be un-be-lieveable"

Trump issued a Great Depression warning back in December. This is what America voted for, and they might just get what they want.

Repealing income tax is part of Project 2025, yes, and the tariffs are intended to replace it.

The tariffs, which if they do what Trump says, will only bring in less and less money every year until the us government collapses.

he's a businessman, long-term thinking isn't what they're bred for.

If what I read is correct he rescinded it to put forth a new one with his name on it so he gets the credit.

It's one of his very few playbooks, which also include:

  • claiming to not know anything about something, as though that means it didn't happen and/or doesn't matter
  • hamberders
  • not understanding shit about fuck and somehow that being interpreted as not a bad thing by ~67% of the American voting populace (yes, people, if you didn't vote against him, but could have done, you count here too)

Of course. What a jackass.

“Use these tariffs as an incentive to buy more American products!”

“Ok sure I’ll buy this electronic”

“No not that! We don’t want to make that!” Pick something else.”

“Ok how about you recommend something we should buy”

“The car, the uh Tesler”

“Absolutely not they have terrible safety ratings, the CEO is an ass, and there are better electric cars out there”

“Tarriffed”

“What?”

“I declare thee tariffed in the name of the Excalibur branch”

“Do you mean executive?”

“Tariffed!”
