Evidently, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's dream of “the army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws to make iPhones” coming to the US will not become a reality, after all. Mad King Blinky Donald blinked again.
Smartphones and computers will be exempted from President Donald Trump’s reciprocal tariffs, according to new guidance from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
The guidance comes after Trump earlier this month imposed 125% tariffs on products from China, a move that was poised to take a toll on tech companies like Apple, which makes iPhones and most of its other products in China.
The new tariff guidance also includes exclusions for other electronic devices and components, including semiconductors, solar cells, flat panel TV displays, flash drives, memory cards and solid-state drives used for storing data.So no beautiful new American factories, after all.

Trump is blinking more than when John McCain was sending a Morse code message from a prison in N. Vietnam.

LOL,LOL,LOL,LOL,LOL,LOL
We are all witnessing The Art of the Deal in real time.
The part where Trump shows how he bankrupts casino's,lol. What a tool Trump is.
This is the guy that America has decided that he is such a genius that we want him
to totally redo the American economy, in Trump's vision. How gullible do you have to be to support and/or believe anything Trump spews.
But hey, MAGA.
What stupid thing will Trump do next ? Stay tuned.

Weil, I can finally say I agree with something Trump did. As an AAPL shareholder, for purely selfish reasons I hope he doesn't flip again.

Believe it or not, my post on TMF was flagged for violating the rules because I used the acronym WITWTDN, and explained what it meant!

Importantly, t-shirts were not exempted. So the US can really expand the manufacturing sector by bringing back garment manufacturing to every smaller town!
