Just tell him computer chips are made of McDonalds and diet coke, several problems will solve themselves shortly after.
I was looking at the stock performance of Semiconductors today and they're pretty much all green except for Intel. Why? Because they've all announced plans to invest in the US (even though they probably won't ever make good on their commitments). That buys them an exception to the tariffs. So it's pretty much a 100% tariff on no major player. Intel was down because Tom Cotton and now Trump are attacking their new CEO Lip Bu Tan who has a long successful track record in the industry but has Chinese investments which they think somehow implicates him or creates a national security risk even though TSMC is ahead of Intel in fab capability. Anyway the point is this is just rhetorical grand standing with no serious impact.

Just wait until he has a conversation with the AI freaks in his admin. He changes policy based on the last person he talks to. What an idiot.
Perhaps this could tax the huge data centers being built in the USA, which tend to get huge local tax incentives. But, if I had a data center I was trying to kit out, this would encourage me to setup shop any place other than the USA. (Latency matters, but not equally for everything.)
But, everything is computer.
The cover image looks like heβs trying to make farting noises with his mouth. Not that thatβs much different than anything else that comes out of it.
Do it, idiot.
