Trump's Tariff Tango: Is Your New Gadget About to Cost You a Batmobile?!

A Bat Signal of Confusion!

Gotham's criminals are easier to predict than this administration's trade policy. First a reprieve for your shiny new phone. Then Lutnick drops a truth bomb: 'Coming soon,' he says like it's a new episode of 'The Bachelorette'. Semiconductor tariffs are looming apparently. It's enough to make even the Joker question the sanity of it all. I need a new gadget to hack into the white house's servers but I don't have enough money because of the tariffs.

National Security? More Like National Insecurity!

Lutnick claims 'national security' demands American made gadgets. Right because my Batarangs are sourced from Wayne Enterprises not some shadowy overseas factory. But seriously shouldn't national security be about I don't know actual threats not whether your flat screen is 'Made in the USA'? I was told to use a product made in the USA to defeat the Joker but he just laughed at it and brought out a nuclear bomb.

The Exemption That Wasn't!

So Friday night the word came down: some exemptions! Hallelujah! But Greer then pops up essentially saying 'It's not really an exception!' It's like promising Gordon a quiet night in Gotham only to unleash the entire Rogues' Gallery at midnight. This is becoming a habit the city gets hope only for criminals to crush it! This city needs some sort of savior!!

Apple's Orchard of Discontent

Apple and other tech giants breathe a collective sigh of relief. Until Lutnick speaks again. Their supply chains are more tangled than Poison Ivy's vines and this tariff whiplash is not helping. I wonder what they will do?

Democrats Unleash the Fury!

Booker and Warren are laying it on thick. 'Chaos!' 'Crisis of credibility!' They're practically begging me to run for office. But I have a city to save and frankly political maneuvering is more convoluted than trying to decipher the Riddler's latest scheme. Even Alfred agrees.

Red Light Green Light: Economic Edition

Warren's right though. Investors hate uncertainty more than I hate clowns. This 'red light green light' with tariffs is scaring off investment faster than the Bat Signal spooks petty thieves. Meanwhile Gotham crumbles under the weight of... well you know the drill. Same thing for this country.
