President Trump to Announce Apple Investment of $100 Billion in US Manufacturing

[gugy]

Let's please not "both sides" anything going on right now.

These are different times and far darker tactics than anything in our lifetimes and really in the history of the US.

Give me a break. You are delusional if you think Democrats are any better than republicans. Both parties are there to serve their donors and themselves. You can disagreed with policy but in the end they do not give AF to ordinary people. Democrats have plenty of dark tactics as well. Politics is not like sports to pick a side and support a team.

Anyone here want to work in usa sweatshops for made in usa iphones?

Those jobs are for the icky unwashed masses you'll never want to meet, no matter the country.

Lots of Americans will apply for an Apple job making iPhone. It just have to start at $50 an hour with full benefits like a 401K, health insurance, paid vacations, etc.

If you think what’s going on is even in the same GALAXY as any previous democrat or republican, I can’t help you.

For instance, tonight, The Vice President of the United States of America and numerous administration officials are having a private meeting to discuss how to protect the President from accusations regarding sex trafficking and abuse of children.

These are incredibly uncharted waters.

This is third world regime stuff.

Apple bending to the knee of a convicted felon and rapist. Great job.

It’s interesting that political comments get deleted on Mac rumors but this extremely political post is made by the same people who enforce that rule. Seems like political bias

Republicans: Arrest warrants for trying to prevent fundamental constitutional rights violation is just us doing our job.

Also republicans: House would be in recess to protect pedo pres and everyone linked to the worst one in the history of mankind. Hope we can distract the public before we’re back in session cuz protecting the elites is more important for us than protecting children.

We still want to see the Epstein files Donald.

What does this have to do with Tariffs?

Sounds like a lot of money, but how many jobs will this mean (not counting bankers and lawyers)?

Or is this investment in hiring folks to work the fields of CA?

It won't be enough jobs. According to Google, it takes 350k employees at Foxconn to make half the world's iPhones. As of 2024, Apple has 164k employees. So it's going to be a lot of money spent for less output and more expensive products. They'll only be able to really do production of the lower volume products - like they did with the Mac Pro - which is expensive, and not really a great seller. A senior manager for Apple said that whole "Mac Pro in Texas" was an experiment for testing US supply chains that failed miserably.

You'll hurt a whole lot more consumers than jobs created, and the same people at the top will just make more and more money. They're not going to simply up the price for difference in labor. They're going to be upping the price for difference in labor, plus profit padding, plus recouping costs of the $600B investment, plus more profit padding, and once again, a little bit more padding.

America just doesn't do this stuff better or cheaper. And it will take A LONG time for us to even come close to China's capabilities, and by the time that happens, China will already be another dozen steps ahead of us. We're focusing on the wrong things to put us ahead and be a leader in an industry.

...protecting the elites is more important for us than protecting children.

That should've been obvious after the first school shooting of kids way back in.... (who can honestly even remember, there have been so, so many) and America did nothing except offer hollow "thoughts and prayers".

In the USA, unless you're still in the womb, other people's kids are fair game (in more ways than one, sadly) to republicans and gun advocates/2nd amendment blowhards.

Any attempts at making America great again should start by fixing that. Everything else should come secondary. Including $100B investments.

 

[DotCom2]

Won't work! A person, that has been president two times, can't be nominated as vice president - that's it!

Who says he won't amend the 22nd? He's got the SC in his hands.

 

[GizmoDVD]

Isn't it awkward that so many here are negative about Trump, yet have the country voted for him?

yes, they are not usually tech savvy and living off their soon to be gone disability, Medicare etc. don’t worry, when they are dying in the streets you can give them a high five

What’s the minimum wage in Kentucky, $6?

Its a shame it was moved to political sub.

What could it mean in terms of products? More computers?

Exactly. The SCOTUS only have one job: rubber stamping everything tRUMP wants.

 

[Artemiz]

Nothing. But tariffs have something to do with the Epstein files. To get people to move on and forget.

 

[johnsawyercjs]

both sides do a great job of dividing us

This is pretty much like saying Ukrainians are awful for continuing Putin's war against them, since they just won't lay down and give in and let Putin take over their country.

 

[Artemiz]

Stock Market reacted nicely, at least there is that.

As for the politics, both sides do a great job of dividing us. I don’t make my views public anymore, it shows that their ability to divide us works.

Hiding doesn’t make things disappear. It just means you’re hiding.

Both sides play the game but they’re not even remotely comparable. One side made the country the laughingstock of the world protecting pedos and trading low security prisons for silence while other respected the constitution and still fighting for it even with corrupt SCOTUS.

 

[GermanSuplex]

Thank you Tim Apple, for making your iCook Phones here in America. They’re making the phone, they’re making the chips. Big, beautiful chips to go in the phones. Chips the likes of which, frankly, have never been seen before.

Release the Epstein files and send the Obamas, Clintons, Bidens and the Bushes to prison for treason!

Only them?

Yes, they are pretty much the same. Both parties promote wars, are beholden to the J lobby, serve their corporate masters, etc. I used to think Democrats were better mostly because of the Bush years and Iraq/Afghanistan wars. Then Obama comes in and continues the same wars and start new ones, and then Trump and Biden follow the same neocon playbook. As for the Epstein case, Clinton and Trump both were very close to the guy as many politicians from both sides.
Not trying to change anyone's minds here because this site is most populated by liberals, which is fine. We have a uniparty in this country, and while they disagree on some policies, they're controlled by the elites. I just hope someday people realize this, but most rather continue divided. Class warfare is what the elites want.

You guys are funny.
