Good job President Trump. Making America Great Again. keep up the good work.
Unfortunately he declared it's all for a national emergency, thus he can do anything he wants. An abomination. Unless he is impeached he will dictate what this country does for a decade.
Making us work for $12/hr while prices go up. Awesome!
And firing all women to make sure men can "do whatever men do" when they want to.
Or the courts shut it down, which they do have the authority and power to do.
Doubt they will, but they can.
So you just have to make a commitment, and then wait things out for another couple of years? That really bring back manufacturing jobs to the US 😏
(Also, manufacturing will never fully come back to the US for countless reasons. And that isn’t an inherently bad thing. Nor are trade deficits. But I digress…)

Get out your checkbook folks,
this is going to cost you a lot of money.

I will say it again, no one human being should be allowed that much power.
Congress needs to be involved in everything before any executive order.
It is WE THE PEOPLE not I THE PERSON.
Donald needs to experience poverty.

Simple fix from the consumer side. Stop all ‘want it’ discretionary buying. A good year of us all buying needed only goods and services should make a big statement. Not to mention our new positive financial position. We have a very strong position, all we need to do is use it.
I’m
how about electricity, food, insurance? We can’t just not use those things….
That is what the wife and I decided to do back in December. We have the money, but we're not going to spend it...hence my sig.
There are certain circumstances in which the President is allowed to impose import tariffs
I said discretionary spending. Those are not discretionary spending. A new iPhone when ones current one is fully functional a discretionary spending.
It seems that way. I can't see anyone importing semiconductors and not building with the here.
And yet, the justification for many (most?) of Trump's tariffs is the IEEPA which never even mentions the word "tariff".
Trump’s tariffs get frosty reception at federal appeals court
During a lengthy oral argument, judges were skeptical that Trump had the power to use an emergency law to enact the tariffs.
Want to build an automobile in the US? You'll need semiconductors (lots of them).
I'm not American, but fortunately I don't need any more Apple devices for awhile.
It won't affect Apple much, but it feels good for me to support them to the minimal at the moment.
I've never liked Cook, but it seems like he can sink a lot lower.
If Trump wants to regulate the industry, maybe he should - I dunno - let regulators take care of that instead.
LOL. OMG. It checks all the boxes for stroking the guy's ego:🤢
Apple made a 24k gold and glass statue for Donald Trump
Another tactic from Tim Cook to charm the president.www.theverge.com
1. His Name is on it even though he really has nothing to do with it.
2. Contains Gold.
3. Says "Made in the USA"
4. Has a cool backstory he can tell people when he points at it: Designed by former Marine.
5. Was presented in a very public way which makes him feel important.
Tim Cook became CEO of Apple in part because of how ruthlessly he controlled costs as COO. He knows this little stunt will keep Apple off Trump's Tariff radar for at least 6 months.
🤮🤢

Now I really can’t wait to hear what John Gruber says.
