The total lack of chip (or almost any other) manufacturing inside the United States isn't great for anyone. We all felt it in 2020 during the chip shortage. I would rather see subsidies than a tariff.

Sweet! A 2-for-1 deal! Not only do I get the opPorTUnITy to worry about my personal budget in a Drump presidency, I get to worry about my department work budget too!

In Ukraine, we have to worry about collaboration between Trump and the Russians. :) So it's not all that bad. That being said, I believe the government (and society in general) thinks Trump will win and the gov is (to the extent of its capabilities) preparing for a Trump presidency.

To be honest, I don't think there will be 60% tariffs for imports from China if (when?) Trump wins. Sounds like random BS for attention.

I suspect some of the statements might be for show or to get media attention.
