    Oof, as an American company the rest of the world is boycotting them too.

    Yup, they are toast. I dont think the Americans have realized how much permanent damage Trump has caused.

      Not only boycotts, it’ll also be a prime target for retaliatory tariffs. So for even those that don’t care about the boycott, a Roomba will cost at least 25% more than the equivalent robot vacuum made in Korea.

      I highly doubt his voters will ever realize it. People who voted for him have single digit IQs. Other Americans warned them before hand.

      Democrats have known from the moment he was elected. Republicans are starting to figure it out now that they are feeling the effects. Of course, they were the ones who caused it so…

          “Many economists are saying that the market was due for a correction…”

          I’ve seen that comment a few times in the last few days. They’ll say ANYTHING to support Dear Leader.

            All the economists here (Canada) are saying this is an absolute disaster that will cause a recession. No reasonable person believes these tariffs are a net positive.
