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

[thiscatisfat]

Invest in American manufacturing and jobs and avoid tariffs. That's how the deal works.

All we saw happen so far from all this is that the pedo-rapist guy you elected is plating the office and ball room in gold with your tax money while protecting other pedos and blackmailing those who don't want to bend the knee to him. Like what are we even talking about here. He's using tariffs as leverage to get Cook do what he says, that's all. He couldn't care less about the 50 jobs this investment will create.

That is not how any of this works. The CHIPS Act did not force Apple or TSMC to invest. It offered incentives, but the reason companies are moving supply chains back to the United States is because of pressure from tariffs and the real threat of economic decoupling from China. That pressure started under Trump. Biden may have signed the CHIPS Act, but even his administration kept most of Trump’s tariffs in place for a reason. It turns out they work. If companies are “sucking up” to Trump, maybe it is because they realize he is serious about protecting American manufacturing, and they are planning for the long term. That is not biding time. That is responding to policy.

Lmao. Apple did in fact get together with TWSC under Biden because of the CHIPS act. Tim just tossed Trump a trinket to get on his good side. And it worked. He is exempting Apple from tariffs now. The guy is so easily manipulated, it's sad. Watch him bow to Putin. Again.

Ask the Kentucky whiskey business how they're doing right now. 😂😂😂

Hilarious to me that anyone thinks Trump gives one lick about "American business" and/or "American consumers".

He's interested in stealing everything he can and aggregating power for himself.
That's it.

Calling him a malignant narcissist is honestly being too kind.

 

[TheLocNar]

Calling out the Intel CEO is not micromanagement. It is leadership. When you are the President and you see the head of a critical American tech company cozying up to the Chinese Communist Party, you speak up. That is not overreach, that is protecting national interests. The old way of doing things was to sit back, let corporate boards call the shots, and watch as American companies offshored jobs and innovation. That is how we lost our edge. If a CEO is compromised or entangled with adversarial regimes, they should not be leading a company central to our economic and national security. The stock market might not like it, but real leadership is not about keeping shareholders happy for a day. It is about securing the country’s future.

Our president is one of China's biggest customers. What are you even talking about. 😂😂😂

Is this the tiny screw(s) job I keep hearing about? Not sure who would want that job other than a automated robot.

I saw this and almost threw up. I have never been a big supporter of Tim Cook but this is beyond bad. Giving a gold trophy to this rapist pedophile is horrendous. The level to which these power hungry men will stoop for money and power is why our world is doomed.

Agree 100%
This whole situation with Tim sucking up is disgusting, on every level.

I'm totally done with him as CEO

 

[turbineseaplane]

Refreshing clarity on this whole thing.
How anyone thinks this is "ok" is way beyond me, especially from folks who used to revere the Constitution.

I own Apple stock and it's gone way up last couple days because of this, and I am totally embarrassed and ashamed!

Bravo DotCom2. I know here are lots out there that will just be happy their investments continue to rise. Kudos to you!

Makes you wonder what other immoral things Apple's management is willing to do to be on good terms with the government.

Sure does!
Once the mask is off, many things come into question.

 

[verniesgarden]

Well remember the Red half does not want government to govern. It’s all about unfettered freedom. No rules at all. At least until it starts to infringe on their rules.

it's the perfect con job, get elected on the premise that government doesn't work to get the position to make sure the government doesn't work so you can get rejected on that platform

I laugh every time I read about one of their businesses closing. Hahahaha

 

[macfacts]

Trump will be gone in less than four years, so I'm assuming this is all just words for now, and for the forseeable future. And that's fine. (And if Trump hasn't gone by then, the US and Apple will have far, far bigger problems to deal with).

Illinois Republicans are especially stupid. 😂

 

[OverTheHill]

Trump will NOT be gone in less than 4 years unless he dies on the job. But the damage has already been done and there’s little we can do to reverse.

Did the constitution change or something?

 

[OverTheHill]

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

Liberals don’t have a filter and are always more than willing to share their grievance's. It was always easy to spot liberals in the workplace. They couldn’t help themselves by sharing their opinions thinking everyone agreed with them.

Not yet but Trump can simply let Supreme Court do his bidding and maybe illegally let him run a third term.

Makes that whole “be the change you want to see” facade and “principles” they always bring up seem like a big load of BS, doesn’t it?

Trump, and his giant poster hung over Washington DC buildings, reminds me of 1984 dictatorship... Including the rewriting of "truth".
