Why This Can't Be News:

Oh joy, because what we all really needed was another excuse to break out our wallets and cry ourselves to sleep at night – a 100% tariff on computer chips! Because, you know, the economy wasn't already a dumpster fire. I mean, who needs affordable electronics when you can have...well, not afford them? It's like Trump is trying to give the phrase "rip-off" a whole new meaning.

But seriously, folks, this move could be catastrophic for consumers. I mean, we're talking about everything from smartphones and laptops to cars (because, of course, they all need fancy chips) and video game consoles. It's like Trump is trying to turn back the clock to an era where we all had to use stone tablets to play games and communicate with each other. "Hey, Bob, I just got a new rock that can send messages!" "Cool, but it costs 50% more than last week's model."

And don't even get me started on the "exception" for companies that commit to building chips in the US. Oh, so we're going to incentivize companies to produce chips here instead of elsewhere? Ha! Like that's going to happen. It's all just a bunch of empty promises and more smoke and mirrors from this administration. Meanwhile, consumers get to foot the bill for their "American-made" chip fantasies.

But hey, at least we'll have something to argue about on social media – who can afford the most expensive electronics? Who needs healthcare when you can have a fancy new smartphone?! Ah, yes, priorities, people!
