The Trump administration is reportedly considering another broad round of semiconductor tariffs, potentially extending beyond chips themselves to laptops, gaming consoles and, most importantly, servers used in AI data centers. The proposal could also tie tariff exemptions to companies’ commitments to invest in U.S. semiconductor manufacturing. Importantly, this is still a proposal rather than a finalized policy, but the direction is clear. The problem is that tariffs cannot manufacture chips. They can only make imported chips and the products built around them more expensive.

The posts, moments, and memes that dominated feeds this week — across X, Instagram, TikTok, and Truth Social. Trump re-posts the “King Trump” fighter jet AI video on Truth Social — the same day millions marched against him. On Saturday, as the third No Kings protests swept across 3,300+ cities, Trump responded by re-sharing an AI-generated video depicting himself piloting a fighter jet labeled “KING TRUMP” and dropping what appears to be sewage on crowds of demonstrators.
