The Trump administration has granted a reprieve to global technology manufacturers by exempting smartphones, laptops, CPUs, memory chips, and electronics to make semiconductors from its sweeping tariffs on imports... #tariffs

No retreat on tariffs, Trump promised. Hours later, he blinked https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/13/trump-tariffs-us-economy #Trumpadministration #Trumptariffs #Stockmarkets #DonaldTrump #USpolitics #USeconomy #Economics #Worldnews #Business #Tariffs #USnews

ICYMI:

There's been a lot of commentary this week on the longer term effects of Trump's economic 'policies'.

Although written before his partial pause on some of his imposed tariffs, I stand by my overall conclusions on what Trump's actions are likely to prompt:

A focus on regional trade agreements (and blocs) excluding the USA;

A shift away from the dollar as the global reserve currency; and

a shortening of global supply chains.

Three major catastrophes are on the horizon:
1) World War III is very likely;
2) the collapse of government-owned fiat currencies is almost inevitable;
3) the collapse of the global climate system is inevitable.

BREAKING: US Politicians were buying tariff exempt companies before the news like $AAPL Apple.

Take Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene. She bought $AAPL, $AMZN, $DELL, $NKE, and others before the surprise announcement today, buyjng the companies as they fell.

Unusual.

Kev (Mr Edenicity) Mentions the obscene promises Trump made to fossil fuel industry. Relocalizing your community, establishing economic independence, is a giant fuck you to big corporations and big oil. They don’t earn what we don’t spend on them. Think of it is a 100% people’s tax on all the shitheads seeking tyranny
