Basically, a lot of the important shit that the CEOs of companies who contributed to his campaign depend on. So, he is caving, but only for his big donors.
I hope China doesn’t back down, though, and keep their counter-tariffs in place until all our dumb tariffs are taken away. Bullies only understand force.
Lol, if china implemented an exit tariff on USA for the items they want.
these electronics are literally made in china; it would be hard to image that they won’t take some sort of action.
Guess Tim Apple’s
inugration donationbribe paid off.Still a terrible person and CEO.

He’s also caving for China – at least, they still benefit greatly.
That didn’t originally mean Brave New World totalitarianism by distraction, it meant doing things the common people wanted and needed. Juvenal was an elitist and thought that the state should serve the ruling class and nobody else. So no relief from hunger, and no public ceremonies or events that the Great Unwashed could participate in.
Yuuuuuup! The excesses of a decaying society
Funny how these are sold on his store as official merch.
My feet hurt just from looking at that
Thank YOU Trump for Allowing these Exemptions!
-Americans who Thanked Trump for the TOTAL Tariffs just a Couple Days ago!
Meanwhile China has restricted the export of many of the raw materials used to make computers, phones and chips. Someone is getting spanked and it isn’t China. Trump should be wearing a collar with a Chinese flag on it, maybe a yoke too.

Yeah, folding like a hyperactive kid’s origami project.
Oh what’s that? Couldn’t find people to screw those tiny screws?
Prices are still going up and companies are pocketing the difference with even more price gouging. Nobody seems to be stopping them either. Never mind the reciprocal tariffs that got added on top of everything else by other countries.
Cool, but the prices that were raised because of tariffs won’t go down so quickly. It’ll just go into the pocket of the corps.
Deflation is a four letter word to these people, and I have seen economic pundits excoriated for even mentioning the term.
The consumer won’t regain what was lost without a fight.
Tim Cook has been suckingTrump off since the beginning. I hope they have losses.
Well, they can think of it as a PR stunt/lobbying that helped get this done.
Watch scumbag tech still list tariffs as a source of cost increase
Dude was worried they would have his head when iPhones started costing $3k
So the multinationals are fine but small businesses are crushed. Make economy recede again!
Man I almost bought a new phone ahead of the inevitable price hikes.
Cut the shit, asshole.
Caving like a little bitch boy trying to wear big boy pants.
Such a big ole PANICAN.
