Trump’s tariff exemption on smartphones, computers, and chips isn’t a “deal”.....it’s an economic surrender wrapped in strategy.
You can talk tough all day, but when 70% of your tech supply chain depends on China, reality eventually humbles rhetoric. This move isn’t about diplomacy....it’s about survival.
Why the exemption? Because the U.S. doesn’t have the manufacturing base to replace these imports. It’s a painful reminder that decades of offshoring left the country vulnerable and dependent.
You want real strength? Rebuild domestic production. Until then, we’ll keep exempting the very things we claimed we’d decouple from.

I had the most shocking experience at your branch in Crown Street, Glasgow yesterday. The manager Natasha was extremely aggressive and rude towards my 2 children aged 4 and 2. Never in my life have I experienced such behaviour especially towards little children
