Donald Trump and White House officials walked back a Friday announcement that there would be tariff exemptions on imported electronics.
In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump directly denied the tariff exemption announcement.

“This is really mind-boggling. If this was serious industrial policy, the main thing you want is certainty: ‘Here’s the tariff, it will be in place for the indefinite future, and you should plan accordingly,’” Dean Baker, an economist at the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a left-leaning think tank, said, according to The Washington Post. “Here, it’s basically: ‘Come back next week and see what we’ve got.’ That’s no way to run an economy.”
What the fuck is actually going on here!? Whether they want Americans to pay more because of tariffs or not, how can they not make up their minds?? Decide yes/no, but this constant flip-flipping is also harming the country…
Crash the market, buy low.
These last weeks have been inside trading shitshow.
I work for a company that imports all sorts of components for pretty much all of our products and the flip flopping has basically completely grinded everything to a halt because no one can figure out what the hell is going on at any given time. It has been a complete shit show lol
