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

[kdarling]

Read an article the other day, pointing out that this "new" investment is just another slight of hand to please Trump:

"Apple's current strategy for dealing with Trump is similar to how it handled the President during his first term. Just recycle things that already happened.

"In 2019, Cook and Trump "opened" a Mac Pro factory in Texas. The factory had been up-and-running since 2013 under Obama, but the President was pleased by the optics of making a deal.

"Apple's partnership with Amkor was similarly announced years ago in 2023 under Biden, but is being trotted out now because it fits with Apple's "American Manufacturing Program."

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

But hey, “War is Peace”, “freedom is slavery”, “ignorance is strength”. I wonder how trump supporters think about that. Or they want to plunge the country into years or decades of civil war touting “that is the peace and freedom we want”.
