Do i still think we should build SOME items here in the US? Yes. Do i ever imagine a situation were we build iphones here? No!
If we ever get iPhone manufacturing in the US, it's going to be massively automated factories, overseen by a comparative handful of employees. Because the US population just wouldn't be there for putting up an entire Apple factory city with hundreds of thousands of workers densely packed in, doing hand assembly work all in one location. Apple would have to import workers to do that kind of work in the US.
 
News which revolve around spreading fear and panic about Apple rarely ever age well. Something worth keeping in mind.

Fortunately not too much time spent here this week. I suspected that Apple was always going to get a tariff exemption from Trump, so I guess much ado over nothing?

Though if Apple (and others) was always planned to get an exemption then that means that fact was intentionally withheld to get some effect such as big stock changes. I'm not sure I'd give them that much credit or not but either way it was either reactionary (not planned) or corrupt
 
There's one way to end the uncertainty... Republicans need to grow a spine and remove his as mentally unstable.

There's plenty of evidence and professional assessments online about his behaviour.
It wouldnt be hard.

Currently the whole world cant trust what's coming from US any day.

No one can run a business that way.
China already looking at Australia for reliable beef exports.
Consumers are voting with their wallets in Canada.

This isnt over until the threat of Trump is removed.
 
A Nap?

I bet you are taking more naps than president Trump.

He is Working just about every day - it's hard just to keep up with all the Whitehouse briefings and cabinet Youtube stuff. If you watch all of it you will have to be impressed. He is working hard! I mean he is also approaching ancient age!
With the Content combined with the weird Capitalization I thought this post was Satire. Then I looked at your post HISTORY and found that it is NOT! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
 
I believe that Trump has already lost the trade war just at it’s beginning. The Chinese really caught his bluff and emerged stronger. This has also changed the world order somewhat.

This is proper shameful moment in USA’s history. China still haven’t reversed the tariffs yet, have they?
 
Trump’s tariff strategy is getting increasingly stupid by the minute. They will likely try to spin this as a “deal”, when in fact China is eating Trump for lunch. Status is that he messed up the world economy, and neither got any electronics manufacturing moved to the US, nor any of the supposed tariff income from electronics, to show for it.

Trump just handed China the world economy on a platter.

Two weeks ago the world was worried that he might be successful in finding a loophole to get a third term. How many weeks before the republicans try to find a loophole to get rid of him? The double edged sword for Trump is that most of the Republican Party only support him because that was the opportune thing to do, not because they actually support his politics. Once it is no longer the opportune thing, the whole party will turn on a platter, and Trump is ****ed. He really is imploding his own presidency at breakneck speed right now.
