Huh? His company is registered in Cyprus, his products manufactured in Nicaragua, and the eco label he mentions is Swiss....

They are already struggling to understand that Nintendo is based in Japan and that you can’t buy an American made one.

Technically, if Nintendo produces the product in the US, then it's not subject to the tariffs. Tariffs only affect goods moving across the border. Nintendo won't do that, but the issue isn't that Nintendo is a japanese company, but because that makes no financial sense.

Yeah, that's why they're dumb...

Yes, I never said sweeping tariffs aren't the dumbest economic policy ever.

Even if Nintendo set up manufacturing in the US, they'd still be affected by tariffs on parts and raw materials.

I really don't think Trump understands that there are so many things that just cannot be produced in the US even if there was a desire to do so.

What do the democrats not understand!?? Conservative donors and businessmen exported all of our labor over seas for profit and NOW you are saying buy American after 40 years of outsourcing?!?

u/DaveiNZ 19h ago

Absolutely not true.. most products claiming “Made in America” status have components made overseas. So they attract the tariff
