The paid propaganda shills don't care as long as the rubbles come on time.
And why should they?
Tarriffs affect the poor and stupid the most , so they are safe since the shills are probably millionaires .

PS I heard someone say that if the iphone was , from tomorrow, being made in the USA , it would cost 30k per device?
Is there any truth in that ?
Production line salary is probably 10% in China what it is in US so 30k sounds steep, but I imagine it's the initial set up cost that makes it.

tsmc makes the a18 chips for iphones. they use the 3nm process which is only available in taiwan as far as i remember. they are preparing for 3nm in their american factory but it would take some time. screens are made by samsung or lg in korea, broadcomm outsources most production to taiwan or china, sony would never move production to murica and they supply the sensors for most high end phone cameras. other murican companies like cirrus logic or broadcomm also manufacture stuff in china iirc. it's like an expensive lego and if you want the best parts that are still somewhat affordable then asian manufacturing is pretty obvious

lutnick said that production will move to the us and cheap asian labor will be replaced by robots. let's suppose it's not utter bs; how would it create jobs in murica? a few robot programmers and maintenance personnel won't cut it anyway. also asian factories are heavily automated anyway. for the same industrial processes, drastically cutting the need to hire actual people is unrealistic. unless a new industrial revolution happens miraculously, that is

Trump and his MAGATs keep whinging about us not wanting to import their beef without our strict biosecurity measures.

Hey Donny, go fuck yourself. We have plenty of tbe best beef in the world here and our biosecuirty measures have ensured we have staved off shit like Mad Cows disease etc.

Australia will not bow down to this mafia boss on this issue.

“Australia has sold $US29 billion ($48 billion) worth of beef in the United States, and we haven’t been able to sell one hamburger in Australia because of barriers,” Barrasso said. “You look at these numbers, and the ranchers of Wyoming are saying: thank you, Mr President, it is about time.”

Trump broadcast those remarks from his Truth Social account.

Australia does not strictly ban US beef. Since 2019, American beef can be imported into Australia as long as it is verifiably from cattle born, raised and slaughtered in the US. But the US integrates beef sourced from Mexico or Canada, and wants that included in the deal”

:rofl: a bunch of dribbling shysters, criminals, dirtbag retards and morons.

murica still exports slightly more beef than their import. that's a positive trade balance regarding only beefs

the rest of the world should put tariffs on the beautiful murican beef. the world had enough of being ripped

These polls, while obviously not free of errors, can be used to estimate the number of hardcore MAGA morons. I usually estimate them at about 30% but this shows some erosion:
