President Trump

Um, what?

"It is my honor to announce Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone, to be Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California. They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries, BACK—BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE! These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest. It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!"

Can he appoint an envoy from somewhere to him?
Voight's even more ancient than Trump.

Used to like all of them, went off them quite a few years back when you realise that, personally, they’re all cunts.

Who knew.

Must mean James Woods and Kevin what’s-his-name are going to have even more important jobs.

There's roughly 167 million tax payer in America. If they rake in double that on a tariff on, say, cars, that's an extra 2 dollars per person if they pass on the extra cash in the form of a tax cut. That wouldn't cover the extra 5 grand on a 20 grand car.

I wonder how much apple phones will cost, they all come from China, mugs paying $1k for a phone and all of a sudden it’s not $1300, would they still sell, I suppose a fool and his money are soon parted but there comes a point when they just become unaffordable, I’m sure Apple will have something to say about that.

A phone is one of the basic functions of the device, which has more computing power than a $3,000 computer of 10 yrs ago…in my pocket.

I can take it out of my pocket and make a video call to my wife on the other side of the earth, talk for hours, FOR FREE! Again, one of the basic functions.

P.S. Apple is rapidly diversifying away from China.

Sorbo…Kevin Sorbo!

Saw a pic of James Woods after his house was spared from the PacPal fires. Looks like he’s skeletal from the waist down and barely able to stand up, but still trying to look hip at 77 from the waist up (Shades, leather jacket, etc!)

I know exactly what they do my point was you can put all these tariffs on but the person who pays is the consumer, then when they won’t pay what’s the alternative? If you don’t have your own manufacturing base you can’t offer that, then companies start to fail as people stop buying, taxes drop etc etc. I didn’t know Apple were moving away from China, however most of the parts come from there as do most of the complements to build stuff in other countries, let’s see what they do in retaliation.
My iPhone 11 does exactly what a brand new one does I don’t pay those stupid prices btw, I’m no fool.

Agree.

America had a choice decades back of maintaining a lower value dollar and with its keep the manufacturing of goods viable. Or they could allow the dollar to become the global default currency and put their financial system to the front giving them a huge advantage in global buying power and provision of financial services.

Having done the latter it's madness trying to go back and do the former. The only way American manufacturing comes back is if the dollar drops massively in value and consumer prices would skyrocket before any new factories opened the doors.

Trump is determined to learn this lesson the hard way.

The funny thing about Trump is that he knows so little about economics, he advocates for both sides of the same coin, because he has no idea you can’t have both sides at once!

High dollar, onshoring business! Yea!

But, if you’re a multinational manufacturing in America for export, you’ve just raised the price of your goods in overseas local currency…and it won’t matter what the tariff is, it’ll probably be cheaper to buy foreign and pay the tariff than buy American with an inflated dollar!

And, America CANNOT EVER allow the dollar to NOT be the default global currency. If that ever happened, the need for dollars would immediately diminish, dollars would be sold rapidly, the value would drop precipitously, interest rates would rise dramatically to attract any buyers still in the market and the Economy would circle the toilet drain before bedtime!

But it would make whatever American goods were in stock much cheaper to buy!!
