Huh? No, it's the opposite. You should really look up how tariffs work. They drive up prices for goods manufactured outside the US. Local goods are unaffected, giving them a competitive advantage.
What about situations where there are no alternative us made products

I honestly can't tell if you're serious. You do know that the vast majority of the chips in all the devices you use are not manufactured in the US? Doubling the prices of the chips imported to manufacture devices here will obviously jack up the prices of those devices

Why wouldn't I be serious? If they're manufactured outside the US then they're obviously not manufactured in the US?

It’s fucking tariff roulette again. And so it will be for the next 3.5 years. Stupid cunts. Remember to kick a republican in the nuts.
Next 3.5 years if we are lucky.

I believe they're referring to products made in the USA that contain chips.
As in importing chips would be 100% but importing a product that contains chips would be 15%?

The tariffs only apply to the imported products. That's how tariffs work. If you import components into a US product then you only pay the tariff on those components, not the entire product.

So you're an AI right? Like no real person would believe this

Sounds like you can save 85% by putting some googly eyes on the chip and calling it a finished product. It’s Chippy, the pointy pet that fits in your pocket.

My hope is that he signs the pardon before she testifies, and then she burns him down on the stand.
As if she would.. She will just do what she do best, just not for Epstein, but for mr president himself, I fear…

The last 6 months have been the longest decade of my life.

Are you a troll?
Or do you really not get it??

WTF are you talking about? Did you not go to elementary school?

I honestly don't get whatever "it" is. Again, if you don't understand what a tariff is, it's very simple to look it up. Don't take my word for it.

Right.

Isn't that in agreement with OP? Any products made in USA that contain chips will cost more to make due to the 100% tariff on the chips.

If there is no alternative from US, the price of that product category as whole will rise, ultimately being paid by US citizens, meaning it is just a hidden tax rise
-
Wouldn't this only affect goods manufactured in the USA? If a finished product containing chips from say, Europe, were to land on USA shores it would only have a 15% tariff right?
Why does trump hate American manufacturing?
It's a tax of 100% on chips being imported to the USA, having been manufactured elsewhere. The idea is that it should force companies to set up their own chip manufacturing in the USA. But that's expensive and slow to do, and requires a lot of specialized engineering talent, so US-based electronics companies will somehow have to survive through years of paying twice as much for the chips they build into their products. This will mean significant price increases for Americans buying electronics, as the unavoidable costs are passed on.

No, OP said it only applied to US products. It's applied to all imported products. That's what a tariff is.
