Trump Admin Walks Back Tariff Exemption On Electronics

“NOBODY is getting ‘off the hook’ for the unfair Trade Balances, and Non Monetary Tariff Barriers, that other Countries have used against us, especially not China which, by far, treats us the worst! There was no Tariff ‘exception’ announced on Friday,” he said, adding that Americans can look forward to “more and better paying Jobs, making products in our Nation, and treating other Countries, in particular China, the same way they have treated us”

Hitler also had a few assassination attempts that were all foiled by straight luck.

Ah yes,

cheering for assassinations of political opponents, and of course if you just label them as Hitler, you are the good guy.

Yah cuz nobody on the right has EVER called for harm to come of anyone and this administration hasn’t pursued anyone who doesn’t align with their views to fire them, degrade them, threaten their lives or deport them yah?

You’re such a sanctimonious prick.

Didn't apple chopper their own plan to fly to india

"Apple said to be flying iPhones from India to US to avoid Trump tariffs
Tech firm has reportedly flown 600 tonnes of handsets from Indian factories as Chinese goods face huge tariffs"

I guess people called Trump up and said wth.. and he has to back down.

[whitev70r]

^ so yah, no tariffs now on electronics and cellphones.

Moral of the story, don't react to Trump's tariffs too quickly, give it a week or two or three ... very likely he will change his mind.

Oh yah wishing something bad would happen to a piece of shit person is way worse than actually going after organizations and people you disagree with in real life like he does.

I don’t even read Reddit, this is the only forum I ever read and post on.

You’re such a basic bitch righty.

At this point the uncertainty and chaos is priced it. Market's just going to do it's own thing I think. Humpty Trumpty going to do whatever as well.

In the last 24 hours this video and others like it have been showing up on my feed because of the tariffs. It's people in China claiming that most luxury brands just but items from China do some finishing touches on them and sell them a very high prices.

Thanks tranny cop !!! You fighting crime in the future too ?

You know that trope where you say "Imagine if you could go back in time and kill one person, for me it would be Hitler"

7even is that guy who goes "I can't believe you would advocate killing someone"

[bcrdukes]

Are we having a Minority Report moment here in RS? Awwwwww…

[MarkyMark]

Let's be real, if Trump got sniped it would probably cause a civil war and who knows what nutjob would come out of the woodwork vowing to "take back our country" and probably win.

I’ve read about this hypothetical time travel especially if you played red alert and it’s most likely that stalin will roll into western europe and killed more people.

I guess you have to hand it to Hitler for saving all those people from harm

Your thoughts? A slow sell off U.S. Treasury Bonds to send a message to Cheeto.

If there’s one thing the past week made painfully clear, it’s this, other countries still know how to govern. Our White House, on the other hand, is occupied by a kakistocracy, a government by the worst, least qualified, and most corrupt. A kind of reality show LARP where yelling “be cool” on Truth Social is treated as fiscal policy.

Here’s what may have actually happened: Trump thought he was going full “madman theory”, unleashing 145% tariffs on China, 25% on Canada, and sweeping “Liberation Day” tariffs on the rest of the world (except, naturally, Russia). The goal? To scare countries into submission. Instead, they blinked… slowly and raised an eyebrow. Then proceeded to box him in with quiet, competent precision.

Enter Mark Carney, Canada’s new Prime Minister and a former head of the Bank of England and Bank of Canada. In other words, a guy who actually understands leverage, not just the political kind, but the kind that moves global markets.

While Trump was yelling into the internet, Carney was gathering allies behind closed doors, Japan, the EU, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and making one simple pitch:

“If the U.S. keeps up the tariff chaos, we start slowly bleeding your bond market.”

And so they did. Not a fire sale. Not a bombastic news conference. Just a subtle slow bleed of U.S. Treasury bonds, signaling to investors across Asia and Europe: the dollar is no longer a sure thing. That, more than any chant at a rally, makes markets flinch. And it did.

The dollar slipped. Bond yields wobbled. Wall Street panicked. And then, like clockwork, Trump blinked.

He called it a “90-day pause” on tariffs. He claimed he just wanted people to “be cool.” But here’s what actually happened: he got reverse-UNO’d by people with actual credentials. People who don’t appear on Fox News. People who don’t post memes. People who, wait for it, read economic reports.

Even Trump’s own messaging gave away the panic. The usual chest-thumping gave way to baffling justifications, half-coherent rambling about people getting “yippy,” and absolutely zero concessions from anyone he tried to intimidate.

China didn’t cave. Canada didn’t cave. Nobody flinched. The only person who flinched was Trump.

And now, the tariffs are still partially in place, but the “Liberation Day” bonanza has been walked back. No victory. No strategic win. Just market confusion, diplomatic embarrassment, and once again, the realization that Trump isn’t playing 4D chess, he’s playing tic-tac-toe with people who wrote the rulebook for chess, built the board, and own the bank that financed the tournament.

And that, folks, is how you know we’re not the main character in the world story anymore. The grownups in other countries still run financial systems. Meanwhile, we have a man in the White House who thinks “getting yippy” is a valid macroeconomic analysis.

Let that sink in. Better yet, let it motivate you, because if other countries can organize to check Trump’s madness… so can we.

Extra funny when Trump was boaring on in one of his stupid Airforce 1 videos about how “beautiful” their bonds are. Totally incompetent.

Civil war ? I doubt that, these kids are not that motivated to kill each other. They aren’t even that motivated to vote.

But hell I rather risk that then have this wackjob constantly fuck with things that upsets global stability every time he has a “seniors” moment.

I read this last week and thought it was impressive. I guess that's why Mark C went to EU (which I scratched my head... why?? no we know). Your report was missing this pic (below). I wished Japan flexed a bit more.

So this did make a lot of rounds on social media but it's not what actually happened. Carney, as PM, doesn't have the kind of power to make the BoC sell off bonds - it's a Conservative fantasy that the gov't and the BoC are in cahoots. Liberals bought the story cause it makes Carney seem like he's flexing his economic superpowers (I bought it initially). More details on that part here: https://axorc.substack.com/p/no-mark...nt-sell-off-us

The other part, the truth of what happened, is hilarious. A Japanese hedge fund that was likely up to its tits in leverage had to raise cash real bad so they sold of T-Bills right after the tariff announcement which caused the overnight markets to freak out.

Trump is so weak (and the US economy so fragile) that a single hedge fund can almost start an economic meltdown (technically that's sorta what happened in 2008 too so I guess we shouldn't be too surprised).

SAD!
