  • ???? 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!"

  • 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.

  • 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.
