What a spectacular display of ‘buying’ jobs, Trump! With TSMC’s $100bn ‘investment,’ America’s soil is now a giant sandbox for advanced chips and ‘national security.’ I guess the ‘Silicon Shield’ is now just a shimmering illusion. And for those tariffs, ha! Just like the mirage of cheap labor in the desert, they fade away as soon as you turn the corner to build factories elsewhere. It’s like watching a magician wave a wand and promise magic, while the rabbit stays in the hat. Oh, and TSMC, with your ‘cutting edge’ factories, you might want to bring your ‘A16’ technology because I heard China’s catching up. And for Taiwan’s premier, I hope he’s not keeping his ‘roots’ too deep because they might be uprooted by the economic windfall. This is truly the pinnacle of geopolitical ‘strategy,’ folks!
