All I ever keep hearing is conspiracies as far as I know.
Read from tweaktown:
According to Trump, the new tariffs were put in place to persuade or pressure companies to move the manufacturing of their products to the U.S. ASRock has confirmed that it plans to move its GPU manufacturing out of China; however, it is looking to work with manufacturers in Vietnam and Taiwan - not the U.S. Pretty much all gaming GPUs are manufactured in Asia, with no U.S.-based alternative, so even with the tariffs it's not expected that companies will move GPU manufacturing to America.
In its response to PCMag, ASRock added that it would need "some time to transfer the manufacturing to other countries" and that during the transition period, it may "absorb some of the cost" or increase prices to reflect the increased cost of bringing its hardware to the U.S.

What pot are you smoking? Trump has brought about an end to more conflict in the first month of his presidency than Biden did in four years. Countries are sitting down at the table and willing to negotiate again. He's already cutting out excessive spending.
Oh wait.
All things he campaigned on and people voted for. How dictator of him.
I never said Biden was good enough with handling the Ukraine stuff, including all of his economic policies but Biden at least is not a wanabe dictator like Trump. Trump is a wanabe dictator that's fact. He said so himself he likes Putin, Xi-Jinping and Kim Jong Un. And He wants to be president again after this, he wants to be president for life pretty much, pretty much the same as a dictator albeit with a "different coat of paint", not to mention the chaos when he lost to Biden, not wanting to accept the fact that he lost the election that time with Biden. Putin is not good to be buddy-buddy with in the long run. His policies will be most likely in Putin's favor. Trump will most likely pressure Zelenskyy to swap land for peace to appease Putin. Such a policy of pleasing Putin would be bad for US security interests, like the 1930s. We know from that era how appeasing Hitler produced only temporary peace and encouraged more aggressive Nazi military actions, including the invasion of Poland and the start of World War II.
The cease fire in Gaza recently was not because of Trump, Trump wants to force Palestinians out of Gaza, a move opposed by the Arab countries. He did not do anything. In fact he said let all hell break loose if Hamas is backing out of the cease fire deal again. That will intensify the conflict even more there, not ending it pretty much. Trump also wants to annex Canada, Greenland and Panama, another trait of a dictator.
Trump won the popular vote this time because people are hoping for a better economy. Biden was not good with his economic policies But gambling totally on Tariffs will not be good in the long run too. History has said so too.. Like what Trump did with Canada and Mexico recently, US gain nothing from it, other than "pissing them off". His very high tariffs on China, and planned for taiwan too, to force chip makers that have big factories in China and Taiwan to build factories in the US also not doing anything substantial , it will benefit vietnam instead.
You like Trump, then to each their own.

No, he does not. He's stated he wants Canada to do their job and moderate the influx of fentanyl through their border with us. Panama has been getting overly friendly with China to the point of publicly displaying the Chinese flag. That's a big no. Panama is to remain politically neutral or they violate the agreement that we established with them when we built it and handed control over to them.
Trump and DOGE are already finding large excesses of poor spending and tax payer fraud and waste in USAID and other agencies.
I don't like or dislike Trump. I voted for him because I work in a capacity affected by the shitty policies enacted by Biden. Since Trump took over and began making changes, things are already improving.
On Trump wants to annex Canada:
Trump Confirms He’s Serious About Wanting Canada As 51st State
Canadian PM Justin Trudeau warned business leaders Trump’s threats about absorbing the country are a “real thing.”

Trump Confirms He’s Serious About Wanting Canada As 51st State
Fox News host Bret Baier asked Trump whether Trudeau was right in telling business leaders the U.S. president’s threat to absorb Canada is a “real thing,” to which Trump agreed with Trudeau and responded, “Yes it is.”Trump claimed Canada “would be much better off” being a U.S. state and complained about the $200 billion the U.S. pays to Canada each year, a number the Trump administration has previously said is based on the amount the U.S. spends on defense, which Canada benefits from, plus the U.S.’ trade deficit with Canada.
“I’m not gonna let that happen,” Trump said about the money the U.S. gives to Canada, claiming the U.S. is paying money “essentially in subsidy to Canada” and adding, “Now, if they’re the 51st state, I don’t mind doing it.”
Trump has repeatedly suggested in recent months he wants the U.S. to absorb Canada, referring to the country as the “51st state” and to Trudeau as a “governor,” rather than prime minister.
While those comments have largely been downplayed as Trump not being serious or just trying to negotiate with Canada, Trudeau reportedly warned business leaders Friday to take the president’s threats seriously, claiming Trump’s desire to absorb Canada is a “real thing.”
Trudeau pointed to Canada’s natural resources and claimed the Trump administration is “very aware of our resources, of what we have and they very much want to be able to benefit from those,” arguing Trump “has it in mind that one of the easiest ways of doing that is absorbing our country.”

On Trump wants to annex Greenland:
Why is Donald Trump talking about annexing Greenland?
The US president-elect has refused to rule out military force to take control. This is why it is important – and what Greenlanders think
www.theguardian.com
Trump has said the US needs control of Greenland – and the Panama canal – for “economic security” and has described ownership and control of the territory as an “absolute necessity”. Greenland has long been on Trump’s radar as a target for purchase and in 2019 he confirmed reports that he had been urging aides to find out how the US could buy the vast Arctic island, describing a sale as “essentially a large real estate deal”.
Trump on Greenland: "I think we're going to have it"
Trump has said as far back as 2019 that he wants the U.S. to buy Greenland, a massive Arctic island that is an autonomous territory of Denmark.Though Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen replied at the time that Greenland is "not for sale," Trump indicated on Saturday that he's still keen to make Greenland a part of the United States.
"I think Greenland will be worked out with us. I think we're going to have it. And I think the people want to be with us," Trump said.
Greenland contains critical natural resources such as rare earth minerals and uranium. Trump says the U.S. could provide security to the island and beyond.
"I don't know really what claim Denmark has to it. But it would be a very unfriendly act if they didn't allow that to happen because it's for protection of the free world. It's not for us, it's for the free world," Trump said.
=====================================================
Now while I agree Panama getting friendly with China is not good for US' security interests in the long run, annexing it and/or executing an official hostile military action/Op on Panama are not the best ways to deal with the situation imo.
On Trump wants to annex Panama:
President Donald Trump reiterated his vow to “take back” the Panama Canal on Sunday, warning of “powerful” US action in an escalating diplomatic dispute with the Central American country over China’s presence around the vital waterway.
"We didn't give it to China. We gave it to Panama, and we're taking it back," Trump said.
“China is running the Panama Canal that was not given to China, that was given to Panama foolishly, but they violated the agreement, and we’re going to take it back, or something very powerful is going to happen,” Trump told reporters.
Hours earlier, the diplomatic stir caused by Trump’s repeated and publicly stated desire for the US to retake control of the canal had appeared to ease after Secretary of State Marco Rubio, making his first overseas trip as the top US diplomat, met with Panama’s President Raúl Mulino.
Though Mulino told Rubio that Panama’s sovereignty over the canal was not up for debate, he also said he had addressed Washington’s concerns over Beijing’s purported influence around the waterway.
Panama would not renew a 2017 memorandum of understanding to join China’s overseas development initiative, known as the Belt and Road initiative, Mulino said, also suggesting that the deal with Beijing could end early.

While Finding large excesses of poor spending and tax payer fraud stuff are right things to do, most of all of the other stuff he is doing currently (and his methods or MO) is dangerous for the long run. Trump never really thinks on the longer game, he mainly thinks only on the now timeframe as long as he could say a "win", for his ego mainly. And I can't call things are improving as a whole, the negatives are waaay over the positives. IMO. Especially with PC components and Video gaming hardware related and electronics prices stuff are currently on their way of going up because of Trump Tariffs. I will just get the Switch 2 in Bali, Indonesia. Will be waay cheaper than in the States lol and the Video Game store in Bali is near a big Timezone arcade too, which is rather nice.
