Someone in his circle must have told him Taiwan is part of China.

I hope to god Trump literally says "Lotsa people don't know this but Taiwan is part of China..." Trump is horrible and his second term will be a nightmare but the least there will be an insane amount batshit humor.
???? Taiwan is your unsinkable aircraft carrier why are you doing this? I mean yes Mr. President, brilliant decision, I think you should sanction them even more actually
"they said 100% tariffs was all the tariffs you could have. well, they were wrong, Trump tariffs go to 200, 300, 10000%! they should have bought american!"
Doing this while not properly allocating the astronomical amount of funding that the semiconductor industry would need in the US is in-character and hilariously foolish.
The US could do so much for the world/themselves if they’d just invest in open source RISC-V manufacturing and R&D inside of the US. But they only understand corporatist-style handouts and amasssing warchests of proprietary technology. It’s even more shortsighted than shipping your manufacturing overseas and having an enemy nation manufacture all of your critical tech hardware while foolishly glossing over the security ramifications of that plan.
Lol, what the fuck does he hope to accomplish with this? What the hell does he think is going to happen when his 
base can't get their jalapeno poppers any more?
He wants to force the production to move to America in order to bypass tariffs.
It can't without the skilled workforce though. Nothing magically speeds up building a skilled workforce in the US either.
Develop Capacity?
No investment in personnel, only tariff!
Except maybe.... Immigration?
The ICE camps are right there....
God willing, nobody will step in to correct this.
I have never used this phrase unironically before, but
LET HIM COOK
This must be lathed hard. Pray everyday for it
Gamers are gonna be hit hard by this. So many things will.... But fuck gamers in particular 
literally everyone will be affected by this in every way. There is no way in hell this is happening lmao. Absolutely insane. Like is he placing tariffs on NVIDIA GPUs???? AMD CPUs???? IT MAKES NO SENSE
Comrade Trump is an old Soviet sleeper agent whose conditioning is going haywire and determined that doing an accelerationism will revive the revolution
Folks, the bourgeois, they’re no good everyone is saying it. All these workers, very handsome workers come up to me and say, Comrade Trump there is a specter haunting Europe, and you know what, they’re right. These bourgeois are very nasty people very very rude and very unfair to the workers. They are stealing our surplus value and no one is doing anything about it. The proletariat comes up to me everyday and says, Comrade Trump will you lead the revolution? And I gotta turn to them and say, Look the instruments of capitalism will be used to bring about its destruction believe me you gotta trust me on this one. The means of production, obama never wanted to seize them. Well guess what? I’m seizing them. Landlords? They’re done for folks. Everyone told me they said, Comrade Trump you won’t be the vanguard of the revolution and they would laugh, the media laughed the democrats laughed, guess whose laughing now?
>Trump hears about Chinese AI hurting the rich
>Trump places tariff on the Republic of China
His brain fluid is Big Mac sauce, his brain tissue is 7.5% prion disease. Allah willing he disbands the US before walking directly off a cliff
This coming off the back of deepseek shaking shit up...... Damn near every American is cursing the day he learned the word tariff. Wtf is going on
Americans about to be reminded of how shit intel was the last time they had total control of the consumer CPU market
im using this emoji as a flashlight to navigate my apartment at midnight btw
Lmao, is this seriously going to happen? 
I am continually vindicated in my opinion that Trump would be better than Kamala for the world at large (before any of you comprehension-lacking dinguses comment: Better does not mean good)
Those are some evangelicals i can tolerate.
Can this be an emotte

Lmfao it's as if these people don't know how to run an Empire. Half of us here would do a better job.
I'd resign try to permanently resign from the security council. Pretty sure all it takes is a president and an ambassador appointment to pull off.
Half of us here would do a better job.
I'd be driving it into a wall first chance I get though
This empire is being ran like the IT morons at my workplace, where every time they fail, it is a spectacular trainwreck that grinds the company to a halt.
I would be absentee, pursuing my hobbies, having to be briefed on the strategic elements and all of the security constantly. Only to support China and use the military for humanitarian efforts. Advocate for renewables at every step. Then I would abdicate ASAP if I were so lucky as to be given the option to not be assassinated, but I'd negotiate up to the full president's salary
Accelerating de-dollarization to levels previously considered purely theoretical.
I made some more popcorn, what did I miss?

Donaldo trump please no i havent upgraded my pc since 2013 please dont make it any more expensive
Literally this is why I bought a new PC last month. My old computer was also from 2013
doing this next month, luckily I'm not in the US
and same, pc from 2013 lol
hell yeah what are you getting? I got a 7800x3d, rtx 4070 super and 64 GB RAM. I figured since my last PC lasted over a decade I go all in and hope my new lasts almost that long too.
Nice!
I'm getting 32GB RAM to start (1 stick so I can expand to 128GB eventually) + Ryzen 7950X + 4TB m2 SSD
then when I have the money, I'll upgrade my GTX 1070 to a 24GB 7900 XTX GPU
Hope we all get the computer power we need!
I'll try running some local AI as well
About lasting a decade, I'm thinking the exact same thing! Hopefully this one will last even longer than that, I mean, my PC from 2013 still runs most games from nowadays and there is only so much room for heavier games and applications
I upgraded from an i5 4690k and gtx 970 lol. I had to underclock my 970 a few years ago to keep it alive
damn, thankfully my brother gave me a 1070, I had a 760 before which was on its last days too lol
and my current processor is a i7-2600 + 24 GB DDR3 1333 mhz
Nvidia is gonna have another rough day
