Donald Trump and White House officials walked back a Friday announcement that there would be tariff exemptions on imported electronics.
In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump directly denied the tariff exemption announcement.
…
“This is really mind-boggling. If this was serious industrial policy, the main thing you want is certainty: ‘Here’s the tariff, it will be in place for the indefinite future, and you should plan accordingly,’” Dean Baker, an economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a left-leaning think tank, said, according to The Washington Post. “Here, it’s basically: ‘Come back next week and see what we’ve got.’ That’s no way to run an economy.”
A little wishy, a little washy.
As for me, I managed to get banned from a channel on here. They posted an image of vegan shoes so I followed the joke up with some reality…YouTube allowed videos of how cattle are stunned and then skinned. I didn’t add any text so they assumed I was glorifying that shit.
Such is life I guess. Maybe I should impose a tariff on my neighbors to feel better about my self.
