The art of the deal in action. 

It's only a deal if you consider somebody stabbing you six inches in the chest, and then pulling the blade back three inches a deal where you just had paper cuts before.

Idk. I never knew about the tariffs applied to us before now.

 “The army of millions and millions of people screwing in little, little screws to make iPhones, that kind of thing is going to come to America" -Howard Lutnick 

So, if there was any question about if the Trump administration knows what it is doing, there it is. Not an f--ing clue. The cult will still carry water for Dear Leader because the cult has gotta cult. 

When I read your reply a few hours ago, I assumed it was a fake quote. Not that you posting fake news, but that you were doing an obvious-parody of something stupid that Lutnick might say. I thought it was a parody and I laughed. And then I gave your reply a ‘Like’ because it was quite funny.

Fast forward to 5 minutes ago when I finally saw a clip of that quote. Saw a clip where that quote came out of Lutnick’s mouth verbatim. I thought… I thought you were joking. I legitimately thought you were joking. But it was real. It was 100% real. And now I feel like an absolute idiot for assuming that stupid quote was a joke. Lord, help us all. I’m trapped in the stupidest timeline possible and I can’t escape.

Tariffs are not the end goal. The goal is to have close to zero deficit trading, domestic manufacturing, more jobs, higher birthrate. But until they get those requirements, they are planning to use tariffs as a cudgel to achieve it. It's reckless, probably won't be effective and they should try to achieve their goals more responsibly.

Very simple in concept: return production to the U.S., although hasn't been done for years. Remember the Fremont plant…

It’s funny, anti-tariffs are all complaining and crying about high prices, dude open your brains, America had been ripped off for a long long time and we keep borrowing..we’re sinking fast. If Apple has to raise prices so be it. Will still gonna buy them.
