Trump kündigt 100% Tarif auf Computerchips an. Folgendes könnte es für Ihre Brieftasche bedeuten.

These taxes are insane.  The economy is going to crash. 

Now that’s a fucking dumb ass idea.

Welp he had Trump Steaks, I guess now’s the time for Trump Computer Chips (which of course it will be built poorly but shrouded in golf).

There are lots of chips made by companies such as Realtek that do not have competition from American made products and which would never be economically viable to manufacture in the US, even with 100 % tariff walls.

100% dumbass

And destroys the CHIPS act. What a fucking asshole – wait – A *child rapist* asshole

This would be catastrophic, however there is an exemption if you commit to building plants in the USA.

IIRC, AMD, Intel and Nvidia are all already exempt from this. That’s 100% of the market as far as I can tell.

>President Donald Trump plans to impose a 100% tariff on imported computer chips, a move experts warn could compel companies to pull back on production or hike prices.

>Details remain murky, and the inflationary pressures likely won’t be as dramatic as those from other tariffs. Still, a new tariff on chips could hit a wide range of products, from smartphones and laptops to cars and video game consoles.

>“If you look at the industries that need chips, it’s almost everything. You probably have at least 100 chips involved in the things you’ve done today,“ said Zac Rogers, an associate professor of operations and supply chain management at Colorado State University.

>How will Trump’s computer chip tariff work?

>Trump unveiled the new tariff during an Aug. 6 Oval Office event, noting there would be an exception for companies that have committed to building chips within the United States.

>Additional details on the new tariff remain scarce. It’s not yet clear when it will go into effect, for instance, or how it will impact products that contain chips, like laptops.

>“There are a lot of caveats,” said Jason Miller, a professor of supply chain management at Michigan State University. “Until we see the exact details of what harmonized system codes are covered, we can’t fully understand the implications.”

>The United States produces a fair amount of semiconductors already, exporting roughly $58 billion worth each year, according to Census Bureau data. But Miller noted that the United States is best at producing higher-end chips. Lower-end, more mundane chips tend to be imported from countries like Malaysia, he said, while “super high-end” chips are imported from Taiwan.

>In total, the country imports roughly $60 billion worth of semiconductors annually, according to the Census Bureau.

>“The U.S. is not as cost-competitive at producing the lower-end, generic semiconductors,” like those found in household appliances like refrigerators, Miller said. “It doesn’t make sense for us to produce as many of those in the U.S. versus import them. Rather, let our resources specialize in where we have a competitive advantage, which is going to be higher-end products.”

>Rogers said it makes sense for the United States to expand chip production, noting the country has made strides in recent years, especially under the CHIPS and Science Act signed by then-President Joe Biden in 2022. But he warned that growing chip manufacturing with fresh facilities and an improved talent pipeline will take time, and agreed that the United States is better off focusing on higher-end chip production.

>“We’re on the right track. The problem is, it’s a really long track. … We can’t scale up fast enough to totally fulfill our own demand,” Rogers said. “If we just slap all of these costs onto firms, it might actually slow down the progress that we’re making.”

>What does this mean for prices?

>Experts who spoke to USA TODAY said more costly chip imports won’t hit manufacturers as hard as other tariffs, such as the 50% tariff on steel and aluminum imports or 25% auto tariffs. Still, the new tariff could add pressure on companies that are already struggling to adjust to higher import costs.

>“It’s not deflationary, by any means,” Miller said. But “quite frankly, it is truly impossible to say consumer inflationary impacts until details are spelled out.”

>John Mitchell, president and CEO of the Global Electronics Association, a trade association for the global electronics industry, said he expects tariffs to drive up prices for goods like laptops, appliances, vehicles and medical devices.

>“More than 60% of our member companies report that past tariffs have raised their costs and delayed production,“ he wrote in an emailed statement.

>For certain products – including cars – chips make up a small portion of the total production costs. But Ivan Drury, director of insights at automotive research site Edmunds, described the tariff as “yet another cut” to automakers, which also face a 25% auto tariff.

>Automakers already say they are taking a hit from tariffs. General Motors in July said tariffs cost the company more than $1 billion in the second quarter, and Stellantis said it expects tariffs to cost it roughly $1.7 billion this year.

>“It’s a thousand cuts to die kind of thing,” Drury said of tariffs.

>Drury added that automakers so far have avoided passing along tariff costs to their customers. He’s not sure how long that will last.

>So far, “we’re not seeing it reflected in the price,“ he said. But “their shareholders aren’t going to be happy with this forever.”

>Used car owners could get hit especially hard by a computer chip tariff through higher repair costs, he said, as repair shops may be more likely to pass those higher costs directly to customers. More costly repairs could also impact insurance costs, since insurers would have to pay more to cover damaged vehicles.

>It could be “this snowball effect,” Drury said. “It hasn’t happened yet, but we know at some point something’s going to break.”

>Another potential concern for consumers? Chip tariffs could make certain products more difficult to find.

What does 100% tariff mean? Have you heard of BYD (Build Your Dream)? It’s the #1 selling EV company in the world. Have you seen one in the US? Probably not. You know why? The US imposes 100% tariff on EVs from China. So the US is not going to import any chips from abroad. Go it alone. All right.

If you’re saying that’s OK , hell, we have Silicon Valley. Yeah well, there are very very few fabs left in Silicon Valley. Lots of design work. No fabs.

Release the god damned Epstein files

Yeah great what about the Epstein Files?

How the hell are we suppose to afford to live. Cost of living is skyrocketing.

Epstein

The automotive industry just keeps getting hammered.

Christmas is gonna suck

There is a reason the chinese call him “Comrade Trump” and “builder of the nation”, that nation of course being China. Every day I’m baffled by how suicidal his foreign policy is.

So in addition to [a planned semiconductor manufacturing plant being canceled due to economic uncertainty due to Trump’s policies](https://fortune.com/2025/07/16/michigan-semiconductor-gretchen-whitmer-massive-economic-uncertainty/), additional tariffs on top of that are going to cripple US tech further?

Well that doesn’t sound like smart forward-thinking policy.

How long do we have to put up with this before the masses realize this asshole is intentionally trying to ruin this country?

How long do we get financially raped by the pedo rapist?

We have over 3 years left of this bullshit. What the fuck.

Sounds like more market manipulation.

*Trump announces market manipulation and next profit round for the squad.*

Fixed it.
