The big question is whether they really mean that, and then whether they really notice what’s happening. They may just assume the old false myth that the Republicans are better at managing the economy and double down on their support.

Does China not have any companies that can make RAM? Seems like an opportunity to grab some market share. But maybe they don’t, or maybe they’d prefer to sell it to AI companies too.
We’ll be getting the opportunity to rent low-powered cloud computers at premium prices, and if you want to keep your data that costs extra.
Using your money.
Trump has never in his life been “mentally OK”.
Look how the USA treats the ICC judges:
‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life
The USA is actively and knowingly hostile to international law and order.
