@#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?
