... computer chips made in Taiwan, warning the tariffs could reach as high as 100%. ...

I can understand wanting to bring manufacturing back to the United States.

I'd like to see that happen.

But I have to ask a couple three questions ... (you had to know that was coming. :)     )

1) Are these excessive tariffs the best way to accomplish that goal? Or even a way to accomplish that goal?

2) how does this action jibe with one of Pres trump's main campaign promises to bring down prices?

3) how does deporting the labor force that the companies and corporations in the Country have come to rely upon help to make Pres trump's assertions that foreign countries should relocate their factories in the United States?

@#5 ... I'm rocking my slide rule like a boss! ...

Hey, a slide rule helped me to get through college.

I remember a freshman year Engineering Lab assignment, it required a full 24-hours on the slide rule. calculating standard deviations and such.

Back then, a basic four-banger calculator cost around $500 (close to $5000 in current dollars).
