I mean, in what other way would he do it, than the single dumbest way imaginable?
Heartwarming: the worst industry possible has a correct take on something for once.
Fucken do it
Fuck all of them.
That would be the funniest outcome, the entire bubble pops because the idiots in charge still have not figured out how a supply chain works, or what the effects of tariffs are.
That would be soooo good to watch
Trump accidentally does the right thing for the worst reasons possible.
A broken clock is usually right twice a day… I’m just impressed because I thought this specific clock didn’t have any hands left, so covered in shit that it didn’t look like a clock anymore, as well as being on fire.
While I’m sure the end result will be worse for us in a lot of other ways, one thing i found oddly positive is how his stupid decisions are going to fuck things up:
Most absurdly, given the priorities of Trump’s AI Action Plan, that tariff approach would cost the US about $90 billion annually in GDP losses and cause about 20 percent of data center projects planned through 2030 to be delayed or canceled
Trump is literally demented but the ghouls around him are not.
The plan is plainly obvious.
The big guys will bribe him and get exceptions which means their competition who can’t pay are at a detriment.
Trump gets bribes.
They both juice the market knowing the above.
That’s a good point. Those 20% of data centers getting cancelled were probably planned by the smaller companies i suppose…
Or the bigger ones plan on buying their supplies
That’s right, single dumbest thing is taxing chips… Not starting wars, sending people to die, killing people, breaking the average American, screwing over every person on the planet. No lets call it a list e at taxing chips.
The article doesn’t say this is the dumbest thing he ever did. It just says this is the dumbest way he could have done this particular thing.
If we’re being technical, the article is saying someone told the writer that its the dumbest way to do this particular thing.
I’m here for the spirit, but your reading comprehension could use some work. The title doesn’t say it’s the dumbest thing he has done. It says he is doing this particular thing in the dumbest way.
He simply cannot do anything but in the dumbest way.
Don’t worry, TACO.
AI industry is the enemy, they own (they have a priority rier on the joint leasins of our politicians,) and don’t believe for a minute the prez isn’t going to do everything they want before it’s over.
Prez is the LLM model companies’ bitch.
Donald might accidentally do something good. I don’t think it will happen though.
Could always be a cash grab. Announce stupid thing, get paid to stop stupid thing.
I mean he’s destroying US influence abroad, including some of the most critical military bases. That’s a net positive :)
I read about a guy whos dad believes Trump was sent by god to bring death to America.
I think about that a lot, it seems its happening
I just wonder how the US will balkanise in the after times.
Dementia Don strikes again!
He thinks this is a quick way to reduce the US’s $40T debt. It won’t.
He doesn’t give a shit about that.
This is a way to squeeze the tech oligarchs for something. If they play ball, the tariff gets an exception for data centers, and they continue their plan to take technology away from the people of the United States and hoard it all and rent it back to us and monitor everything said and done on it
If they don’t play ball he crushes America’s position in the AI race, for which he doesn’t care because his goal is the destruction of America as revenge for making him kill Epstein to keep the whole thing quiet
Why do you think he gives a fucking shit of a fuck about that? He doesn’t give a fuck. What action in the last 10 years makes you think he gives a single flying fuck about that? No don’t use his words. I can lie too. What action has he taken That makes you think for even a fucking iota of a fucking split second that he gives a fuck about that?
Why is this 10 years in and we’re still having to tell people he lies? This is absurd at this point.
Why do you think he gives a fucking shit of a fuck about that?
Because he’s a diva and WANTS to be liked. And he knows his approval ratings are at their lowest.
I’m not saying this is absolutely what’s happening. It’s just my theory.
And about the lying thing. I don’t think he’s lying most of the time, because I think he genuinely believes the things he says. TO BE CLEAR! I’m not saying he isn’t a liar (he is), just that he truly believes the things he says.
He doesn’t give one shit about the US debt and neither do the Republicans backing him.
If the Dems ever get back in they will start screaming about it sure but why would they care about some made up number.
The Epstein class can just go hang out on their yacht they are not patriots.
Nothing that can’t be solved with bribes.
Trump is finally waking up to the deep, bipartisan unpopularity of AI and AI datacentres. Aside: the “single dumbest way imaginable” is the GOP brand.
“Guys, stock market is not going up much anymore and we aren’t making money.”
“OK fine, short the tech stocks and I will scare the markets with some random threat that may or may not happen some time in the future.”
Starts talking about tax on data centers. Market starts to go down.
“Thanks, appreciate it”
Good, let them sleep in the bed they’ve made for once
