The tech world would explode, who wins?

Everyone’s talking about Trump’s new tariffs, but most people missed the part where your iPhone and laptop were spared.

Here’s what’s going on:

Trump dropped a massive tariff bomb — some goods now face up to 145% tariffs if they come from countries like China, Vietnam, and India.

But — tech stuff like computers, phones, and chips? Totally exempt.

Why?

Because if he taxed that stuff, we’d all be paying $2,000 for a laptop and $1,500 for a phone — and the tech world would explode.

Translation: He doesn’t want a consumer revolt right before the election.

So who wins?

$Apple(AAPL)$ and tech giants – no supply chain headaches

🛍️ Shoppers – no surprise price hikes

📈 Markets – tech stocks breathed a sigh of relief

But don’t get too comfy.

This was a strategic carve-out, not a change of heart. Tariff wars are heating up, and Trump just picked his battles.

He’s protecting your gadgets — for now. But the rest of the economy? Might not be so lucky.

    he put a big tariff on China, but it's a bluff.  China called the bluff.  so now he's making Exemptions to cancel the tariff.  he's very clever.  he makes it look like there's a tariff but there isn't.  tariff is a bluff.  all the Important imports are exempted.
