        Maybe we just don't understand what Trump is getting at.
        @Jolly, tell us what you believe Trump is thinking by exempting smartphones, computers, and other electronics from tariffs. Thanks.

          It's all so completely absurd.

          Education is extremely important.

            @jon-nyc said in Trumpenomics:

            ChatGPT gave me an estimate of 4-7 years to build a large aluminum smelting plant in the US at a cost of ~$5B per million tons of annual output. Oh and that assumes you have 15-20 terawatt hours per year of electricity generation nearby, enough to power about 1MM homes.

            So yeah, no one’s doing that based on a tariff that might not last until June, let alone 2030.

                We import >80% of our rare earths from China.

                I wonder if they’ve told Trump to request a call.

                  Just wanted to say POTUS is looking well, a bit thinner in the face and very healthy. Anyone noticed a difference?

                            The most charitable explanation is that Navarro/Lutnick just take their fight public after losing a skirmish in a conference room somewhere.

                                As for an update on "Drill, Baby, Drill", more drills were shut down in the past week than in the past 2 years.

                                          Irish exports to US surge by 200% ahead of tariffs
