You are missing something. Trump is open for business, and will happily give you an exemption in exchange for a large sum of cash.


Yeah, this is probably the point. His MO, over and over, is to take something away from you and then sell it back.


Will he do this for Chinese manufacturers? I'm not sure, but I think they have a decent market share. If this is true, then, I guess, there will still be some missing supply, at least in the short term.

Now, that's not even the main problem. Imagine if someone did something like this with RAM or NAND. Again, maybe I'm stupid, but this sets a precedent. It's not currently possible to move RAM manufacturing (fully satisfying the demand) to the USA, though, so I doubt anyone sane would try to do so.
