Jeez how come you people don't understand the gravity of this situation?
Of course he has to say something about an issue like this.
People have to speak out against blatant racism. Steve Jobs probably would've never come to the US in the first place if Trump wouldve been in power back in the day. Remember he's halve Syrian?? You know what people in Syria are? CORRECT: MUSLIMS!!!
Trump's falsehood and blatant racism just becomes even more obvious when you consider that he doesnt even deny people access that are from the really bad places, like saudi arabia and so on. Oh but why? Because he has personal business interests there!
Anybody who will say anything about how bad Hillary would've been in light of the events of the past 7 days is either blind or ignorant or just stupid.

The international system is built on rules and norms. They won't bend. Not even for someone who uses 'Bigly' as a verb. We are already witnessing Pacific allies like the Philippines moving towards China after he ripped up TPP.
Like I said, you deserve the politicians you elect. The only beneficiaries of the next four years will be the Trump estate. Look at the ban, where hasn't he banned? Oh, the countries that he has interests in and the ones whose nationals have ACTUALLY terrorised America. The American people will be waaaaaay down his list of interests.
This. A million times this.
It is truly hypocritical that people are going crazy and want to make the rest of us believe that Trump is the worst human being ever existed because he offends with his words minorities, while they don't blink an eye when the US bombed the hell out of innocent men, women and children in Serbia, Afghanistan, Iraq etc. all those years.
They could be made in the US and still cost the same money as now...
The reason Macs are so expensive is because Apple is marketing is products as some luxury items that are made out of some exotic materials that are rare on earth.
Tim Cook should stop misappropriating MLK's words. This has reached the point of ridiculousness. MLK was a conservative who believed that Christianity should play an important role in the moral formation of all human beings, and of blacks in particular. To turn him into some sort of golden calf of liberal politics is insulting.
"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
Pastor Martin Niemöller 1944
Thats exactly what Trump wants. Just shut up and go about your lives. While your head is turned I'll be dismantling the constitution by issuing multiple executive orders! WTF?

what is Apple's profit margin on each iPhone sold?
your profile picture says it all. You don't hate immigrants no. You JUST happen to support the people who do.
Can't sleep. Playing diablo 3.Might want to get some sleep then, I doubt he cares
I could quote every single person in this thread who doesn't understand how this works. The constitution won't protect itself. You, the people have to fill it with life.

Political correctness is evil. He should just be honest and tell how it really is.
well it leaves me buying less stuff until corporations realize they aren't selling as much and then lower their profit margins to lower the prices
the things I need to survive arent made in china
It'll be a bit, they've been blowing up his phone since the document was signed.
We got our own whacko socialist government to deal with in Canada. Not much is going to happen to us in the north, but we are watching your classroom clown Boris Johnson, with a close eye.
People who scoff at the point that Steve Jobs would be banned miss the point.
Steve Jobs got in, he made Apple, it worked out amazingly well for America.
Tomorrow's Steve Jobs will settle elsewhere. It will workout amazingly for that other particular country and jobs and capital will flow their way. America will lose. Even if this ban is lifted tomorrow. The next Steve Jobs will have good enough reservations to look for anywhere but America.

You are likely thinking of the CEOs of Microsoft, HP, Google, Oracle, Texas Instruments, Samsung, Phillips, eBay, IBM, Intel, Cisco, Hitachi, Western Digital, Dell, and every other medium to large company in the world.
And when they lower prices they can't afford to pay salaries for the employees you so selflessly helped
Some would disagree. MLK has been accused of being a Communist and his Civil Rights Movement is very left wing like.
