Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday that the administration's decision Friday night to exempt a range of electronic devices from tariffs implemented earlier this month was only a temporary reprieve, with the secretary announcing that those items would be subject to "semiconductor tariffs" that will likely come in "a month or two."

"All those products are going to come under semiconductors, and they're going to have a special focus type of tariff to make sure that those products get reshored. We need to have semiconductors, we need to have chips, and we need to have flat panels -- we need to have these things made in America. We can't be reliant on Southeast Asia for all of the things that operate for us," Lutnick told "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl.

To the people who saw my post and downvoted: it was not my choice that the Democrats ran the senile walking dead genocidal maniac in 2024. Then when it became too obvious how senile he was and they couldn't lie about it anymore, they passed the torch directly to a woman who was so dogshit at campaigning that she had to drop out of the 2020 primaries before a single vote was even cast.

You could blame us for not putting up a more honest candidate there in the first place, but there isn't a structure in place to even allow such a thing to happen. Consider what happened to Bernie 2020, for example.

It doesn't matter. The choice was the status quo or something worse for everyone on earth, economically.

Everyone in the world knows the US election system is crap and has been getting more crap for decades. The world isn't angry at you specifically. The world is angry at the apathy of the general American public and the sheer amount of influence America has over the global economy since WW2.

There were protests for George Floyd. There was the MeToo movement.

But when it comes to a convicted felon and known criminal taking the top seat? Crickets. Anything that isn't US centric, such as the global economy, doesn't seem to rustle any of your jimmies. Hence, we're pissed because your apathy has brought in economic instability on all of us when it could have all been easily prevented.

Something as small as 'not having the right candidate' or even 'sticking it to the libs' means nothing to the rest of the world when what we have now it's the alternative.

For a country with so much global power, the populace is so, so, so small minded.
