Is great that he can easily be bribed with nothing more than cheap plastic trinkets. I bet the United Arab Emirates is kicking themselves by not sending him a plastic model plane kit instead.

Cook promised the Trump administration an additional 100 billion investment in US manufacturing on top of the 500 billion already promised over the next four years. Blah blah ballroom.. err um gold plaque.

Hmm, that timeline is super convenient for a CEO transition in 2026

In January 2027, Cook will be back in the Oval Office providing bribes, I mean gifts, to help convince Donald to ignore Apple for another few years.

He may not have to do that if the midterms take the House away from the Republicans. Then again, there's no telling what the mad king will try to pull if, after all his gerrymandering and anti-Democratic attempts to hack free and fair elections, he feels the repudiation of losing the House.

Call me crazy, but the AI-draining-RAM-supplies shortage and resulting massive price jump is going to be a far more painful thing than any tariff.

Progress continues to be made on improving the efficiency of AI models where the current hardware demands won't be as necessary. The industry is radically over-building hardware and data centres right now, but a major breakthrough will happen rendering it all overkill. It's already happening with advances such as "sparse attention" and newer model technologies.

Of course this turns into a TDS thread. The independent middle sure is lonely.

lol, ah the sweet smell of appeasement will really have knee pads sell out.
Get stock in knee pads.

I don’t think you realize how little Trump opposition feel attacked by the TDS claim. It just makes you look even more ridiculous. Like christians threatening atheists that they will go to hell for not believing in it.

Unless the annoying orange decides to change his mind because it’s a random Tuesday and oh no some more files dropped time to distract.

The fact so many people are angered by an American company getting an exception on tariffs really shows you how effective the legacy media’s hold is on the impressionable mind.

In German there is a proverb: "Der Teufel scheißt auf den größten Haufen!"
Translation: "The devil defacates on the biggest pile!"

All American companies pay tariffs on their imports. Except those with deep pockets.

Are you not concerned that there exists a two tier economy divided by whether or not you bribe the government?

Or is that question simply too woke to engage with?
