Lewzer calls for Intel boss to resign immediately

President Donald Trump has called on the head of US chipmaker Intel to resign "immediately", accusing him of having problematic ties to China. In a social media post, he said CEO Lip-Bu Tan was "highly conflicted", apparently referring to Mr Tan's alleged investments in companies that the US says are tied to the Chinese military. It is unusual for a president to demand the resignation of a corporate executive.

And Dummkopf Trumpf intends to place a 100% tariff on microchips. Demand for computer chips has been climbing worldwide, with sales increasing 19.6% in the year-ended in June: apnews.com

@#1 ... intends to place a 100% tariff on microchips ...

Will that tariff only be on individual chips, or will it also include chips embedded in devices that are imported?

As per usual, Lewzer's plan has little in the way of detail.

These two recent criminal cases involving microchip technology theft may have something to do with Dummkopf Trumpf's latest blather. The manifestly inattentive Dotard may have gotten wind of these two cases from junta member USAG Pam Bondi.

But who knows what lunacy is taking place in the White Asylum other than insider trading?
