Rule one: don’t negotiate with a maniac
Rule two: see Rule one

I don’t think Pooh Bear is a maniac.

The only way that stock market traders and banks made money at the expense of average Americans is if they are dumb enough to have panic sold (and if they were that dumb they should not be playing in the stock market at all).

But over the long haul the stock market has outperformed any other investment vehicle (savings, CDs, annuities, gold, you name it). I know several people who panicked in the so-called great recession of 2008. The got out and put everything in CDs which have never, EVER kept up with inflation. Now they won't talk about what they did in a panic. They screwed themselves.

This is only the beginning unless the trade war nears it end before long. Apple is in a world of 💩

Rules and laws are made to control poor people. Apple is not poor.

PSA: Following Trump's Wed PM announcement on tariff suspension (excl. China), AAPL current cap is 2.93T (vs. MSFT 2.88T).

So this story is mute already. Lol!

do you really think any amount of money would have changed things?

Trump seems to have no concerns about screwing Tesla with tariffs even though Elon bought him the presidency.

It never ceases to amuse me how on one hand, Apple is evidently a big bully that needs to be reined in and regulated, and yet on the other, Apple is also this delicate flower which is constantly one flop or trade war away from doom.

I wish the people here at Macrumours could make up their minds once and for all.

It amuses you that different people have different opinions and you wish everyone had the same opinion?
