Will tariffs make America great?

50% tariff on the EU cuz they made a mineral deal with Greenland? Wonder how he's gonna justify this one. His authority to make unilateral tariffs must be withdrawn.

"They" is a stretch. The deal is with some Danish/French consortium.

Now he's going to slap a 50% tax on German cars and Italian suits because the French got some rocks and he didn't. And it's not because the Europeans are wily schemers, it's because he was such an unbearably entitled jerk to the Greenlanders they didn't want to deal with him, and I can't blame them.

Don't forget the 25% tariff on iPhones not made in the USA.

They might be made from <shudder> French aluminium, using Greenland's rocks, which rightfully belong to Trump (if only Biden hadn't fixed the Greenland election). 25% is really Trump being generous. Why, it ought to be a billionty one percent.
 
Trump says he's going to tariff all smartphones: "It would be also Samsung and anybody that makes that product, otherwise it wouldn't be fair. So anybody that makes that product. And that'll start on I guess the end of June ... when they build the plant here there's no tariff."

Not going to happen.
But it will be another time to profit from a market crash and recovery once Trump takes the threat of smartphone tariffs back.

No, you should use your phone until it dies and then buy a used one.
No one should buy a new flagship phone, ever.

I've bought a ton of them. This might be off topic but why should I not buy a flagship phone? I had a Pixel 3 and 4 XL, got the 7 Pro when it was released and will get a 10 as well. It only costs me $200-300 if I sell my previous one right after getting my new one.
