He makes the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act like minimal in comparison
Finally something Lemmy users can get behind since they hate Apple so much.
But, but, but... I thought the foreign governments paid the tariffs? /s just in case
We need to keep in mind that businesses like Apple are already charging the most they think customers are willing to pay.
Tariffs will hurt their bottom line by causing them to lose more in sales than they can make up for by raising unit prices.
It sounds like he thinks the word "tariff" just means "payment". Then he follows that with "[whoever he thinks should make the payment]". Tariff by Apple, Tariff by China, etc. Honestly. I don't know how else you can make it make sense.
he makes it sound like the manufacturers pay the tarriff so his moron supporters think it's a good idea.
All to try and flood the treasury so he can afford tax cuts he promised to donors.
Turns out running the government is hard and it sucks.
here we go again with he tariffs. his friends made back some money after the last crash he caused so now he can go back to crashing it
They didn’t make “back” money, they’re just making money. His friends are the ones telling him to say insane shit that drives the market (or specific targeted stocks like Apple) down, then they buy while it’s low. After a few days/weeks, he changes his mind/can’t enforce his nonsense and the stock goes back up, his friends sell and have nothing but profit. The majority of the shit he does is market manipulation to benefit himself and anyone riding his coattails.
Is this another pump 'n dump (or rather dump 'n buy a shitload and then change your mind again so the stock rises to the original level)?
What the hell is with the "Thank you for your attention to this matter?"
You're shitposting to a global media audience, not politely asking Facilities to restock the vending machine with Snickers bars.
Are you just in full Business Guy Autocomplete mode? A Bigly Language Model?
Maybe he secretly died and they are using grok to write his tweets.
Surely Grok would make a better president and be more human and intelligent?
That bothers me too. It's the business equivalent of " do what I say. I don't want to have to help. Go fuck yourself"
