  1. The size of these tariffs has me thinking he’s compensating.

  2. OK. So no solar panels from SE Asia. Got it. That all you got for me today? 

  4. Where are US manufacturers going to find indium, gallium, and tellurium? Don’t they import the majority of that from China?

  5. So weak. We need One BILLION percent tariffs!! That will show Asia who is boss.

    No wait, one trillion per cent is even better.

  7. Oh good. I was worried he was going to do 3522%. Dodged that bullet.

  8. Somehow the bulls think tomorrow is going to be green! If this is what the special solar tariffs are I can’t even think about how bad the Semiconductor tariffs will be!

  10. Maybe time for a global blockad against that moron and his friends, let them spend a year in isolation and see them come crawling back.

  12. The door-to-door solar bros who voted for Trump are going to be thrilled.

  13. At this point, he should just say we will take your products and won’t pay.

  15. At a certain percentage its no longer a tax/tariff; that is effectively an embargo.

  16. He’s fucking so much progress up. In the dumbest way possible.

  20. Like the rest China will go around by Mexico or an other low tarif country. Enough to sustain the Chinese production. Not enpugh to avoid a price increase in the US.

  21. Why doesn’t Trump just go straight to the source and tariff the Sun?

  23. How is this so hard to understand, the business of fossil fuel products and energy has the US under tight control. The fall of the empire is inevitable, because they built their empire around a business that will destroy the planet, and they won’t give it up as long as they can make their government to make sure they can always make a fortune out of it. It’s just unfortunate for them we found out global warming later, and they are too lazy, arrogant and greedy to find a solution for the themselves .

  24. What is the point of all of this? Everyone knows no business or person would pay 35 million for 1 million in solar products…. Why not just cut to the chase and say “yeah we don’t want your solar products” and just put an embargo on them? Not sure if you can just do that, but it would save a lot of people a lot of time having to dick around with these arbitrary tariff numbers…

  25. So either he wants to tank that specific stock or a different company in solar panels bought him off.

  27. I’m gonna ransom the world for…one gazillion dollars!

    – fashions picky finger towards the corner of his mouth

  32. Australian here. Solar is everywhere here. We’ve had solar for 4 years now. We have not paid any power bills since installing solar. In winter, aircon is turned on 24/7. Still no bills. Lucky to be in Australia, can’t stand the ignorant orange turd.

  33. I’m sorry

    Can someone explain?

    Like, 3,521 as in “Three fucking thousand five hundred and twenty fucking one”?

  34. Can someone post the actual article that isn’t behind a paywall.

  36. It’s like when Doctor Evil made up a crazy huge number!

  37. Dementia Don at it again, this guy’s shitting his bed figuratively and literally.

  39. Lol the numbers just keep popping out of his mouth all the time

  40. If this is meant to produce American jobs manufacturing solar and solar accessories… then why didn’t we just invest in our green economy instead? I mean… did anyone suggest that? Possibly from a different party than the current president?

  42. Holy shit am I glad I decided to built my system last fall. I was worried he would get reelected and do exactly this. My system will probably pay for itself before he’s even out of office.

  43. That number’s not a typo!!! 3,521%. It’s a polite way of banning imports without saying the word “ban.”

  44. He’s now using 4D10s and a scenario generator for tariffs.

  45. We know who to blame when Texans die to heatwaves in the summer and freeze in the winter.

  46. I’m honestly surprised it wasn’t a 1,488% tariff

  47. That $300 panel is now $10,500. Great work, asshats.
