Both are true, the way funding was being distributed both nationally and internationally was wrong. But being tariffed higher by other countries because you have more money is not how it should work and highlights the handout mentality that is trying to be broken.

Oh god, a Fox News watcher. Go away and pretend he isn't gonna come for you next
I don’t know about the U.S. - but I could imagine that’s illegal even there (though they avoid displaying real prices/costs wherever they can). That said, Apple could still announce the devices early.
iPhone 17
Available October 10, from $999*
* at current import tariff rates
These are all due to Biden's industrial policy, namely the Inflation Reduction Act and the Chips Act. Nothing to do with Trump at all.
Yes, when the farmers are paying tariffs on supplies to run their farm and dealing with massive inflation on everything they buy as well as paying higher interest they're going to lower the price of eggs.
Major economic depression incoming.
Ha, yes I do. I post other places too. saying that it’s globally felt because Nintendo isn’t exporting its switches here is still laughable.
ahh tariffs- the political of greed that is absorbed by corrupt store owners now!
my local store jacked up the price of USA brewed beer 25% with Canadian word and logo on the label
about a month ago in February, so I complained and was stared at blankly.
fast forward to yesterday as a bike part, crank sets Shimao was pulled of the shelves
they raised the price for 25% more yesterday, as I shopped elsewhere and found an item for the march 25 price.
there is other instances of this gouging I witnessed that is no part of the tariff goods,
rather than a greedy store owner or arrogant CEO trying to make that extra $ villainously.
won't raise the price of a product that astronomically no one can afford
but buys more than anything else tech wise per year.
eggs should be outlawed like cigarettes since too many young beings perish over their consumption.

The point of the tariffs is to make foreign made products as expensive as they would be if they were made in the US. Unfortunately it's doubtful they will succeed in bringing manufacturing back to the US. The one thing they might do is help reduce our monthly trade deficit, which is something that did not happen during Trump's first term.
The long term solution to bring manufacturing back to the US is to deregulate so American businesses and workers can be competitive with the rest of the world. The US would definitely be better off if more stuff were manufactured here.

Re read the story it talks about wholesale prices, do you buy directly from farmers? Or from Walmart?They already are……..
Egg prices going down? A dozen eggs averaged $3 last week as costs decline
National egg prices fell 9 percent last week to an average of of $3 a dozen, continuing a recent downward trend after a national egg shortage.www.usatoday.com
You made a mistake in thinking that Apple isn't interested in preserving their margins. It will cost Apple more for each product they sell. Sure, they could eat the cost or simply pass it along without additional charge. But, either way, that would hit their margins and their stock price hard.
Yea I don't disagree with you, just his idea that we are getting screwed over by global trade.
Well it was nice updating every few years but I guess those days are over. Glad I at least updated to the 16 pro if that's my last phone for a long while.

This is what will limit Apple‘s ability from passing on U.S. tariffs to consumers in other markets:
Foreign media will be more alert than ever to catch and report on U.S. big tech companies increasing the price differential between the U.S. and their country (net of local taxes and tariffs).
Egg prices are still high. Down or up doesn't matter if you can't afford them. They are not lower than Election Day prices. But let's say I concede your point, and also accept you dismissing my other thoughts as not important because I 'hate' trump...then sure, I dismiss anything trump says because he is known liar. Thanks for making my point for me.
But I don't waste a lot of time 'hating trump', what is worth my time hating is the attack on all the old world values that my mother taught me, honesty, integrity, commitment to the community... the list goes on and on. I hate the divisiveness he has brought to a country that used to stand for honor. I hate watching the rich get richer while lying this will help the poor. I hate the attack on women's rights. I don't waste time hating Trump, I hate what is happening to my country. Darn right I do.
People are nitpicking because they don't have anything to say.
Tariffs don't come from greed or socialism (that's what FOX NEWS preaches), it's far more complicated and you would most likely have to spend hours and days at university to understand it.
You have probably not been able to do this so far. But you are not alone in this.
This just warms my heart. His base was convinced that the "high" prices "caused by democrats" would be remedied by Trump. Instead, they won't be able to afford iPhones or other electronics, consumer goods, cars, etc. etc. They will be run into the ground as they see just how "great" he makes America. The rich will be fine. His base...not so much. LOL!
So the folding phone will be $3k+ then?
But at the form factor of my cherished 13 Mini, I can finally move on, so oh so worth it.

Meanwhile the top auto companies have started laying people off. Tech and several other sectors will be seeing layoffs soon.
In the end I don't think this will be much a problem for Apple. It'll go something like this:
Tim: President Trump, Apple would like an exemption from the tariffs.
Trump: Hmmmm, not sure
Tim: I was just looking at your meme coin. Looks interesting. I wonder how much I should buy.
Trump: $$$$
Tim: President Trump, I just bought $$$$ of your meme coin.
Trump: Exemption granted.
Press Release: Apple to assemble Mac Pros in Texas. Tariff exemption granted.

Not true. U.S. total goods trade with Russia were an estimated $3.5 billion in 2024. U.S. goods exports to Russia in 2024 were $526.1 million, down 12.3 percent ($73.5 million) from 2023. U.S. goods imports from Russia totaled $3.0 billion in 2024, down 34.2 percent ($1.6 billion) from 2023. The U.S. goods trade deficit with Russia was $2.5 billion in 2024, a 37.5 percent decrease ($1.5 billion) over 2023.

For example, the US still buys enriched uranium and some chemicals from Russia.
You're moving the goalposts now. In your first comment (here) you said nothing about the day 1 promise, which I agree is absurd and a promise he couldn't fulfill. But that's not what you said originally, so I was simply replying to what you first stated, and now you're bringing up the day 1 promise.
When Trump took office, eggs were at 6.5657 (1/20/2025). They hit their high of 8.0808 on 2/24/2025 (34 days, not two months). Now they're at 3.2593. That's a 43% drop from when he took office.
Before he took office, eggs had already surpassed their 5 year high.
The day 1 promise was absurd and Trump does often write checks with his mouth that he can't cash. At a bare minimum we agree on that!
Of course the price of eggs has the least to do with who is president. Neither Biden nor Trump caused, nor remedied the bird flu.You're moving the goalposts now.
