Because Apple executives should have seen Trump’s election and his chaotic nationalistic protectionism? Sure, let’s expect in hindsight that Jobs and Cook need to be prophets.

We’ve had decades of globalization and one man isn’t going to break it.
Nothing like a Teeny Tiny Trump war to break it. A big beautiful bomb as he would say.
 
But of course, investors come first.
Finally you understand capitalism and that it's the only truly viable economic model. Unlike socialism, communism, Marxism, etc. Capitalism takes into account human nature and the drive for power and wealth.
 
Why? The dude is obviously sundowning, he’s almost 80, and he’s liable to cheeseburger himself to a heart attack if the dementia doesnt get him first. The reality is an unhealthy octogenarian is unlikely to finish his term, no matter party

The Democratic party has zero legs to stand on with the vegetable we had as a President the last years. Go read "Original Sin" and get back to me.
 
1) People dont want to screw iphones together for $7/hr
2) People dont want to pay $3000 for an iPhone
3) Trumps term would be long over before factories could even be built and staffed
4) The raw materials needed literally don’t exist on this continent, and therefore would still need to be imported and subjected to tariffs
 
Not Trump being the most leftist policy maker when it comes to the economic policies 🤣

But really, we all know this is just mark we manipulation.
 
Every item in your signature is Made in China. Why are you so unpatriotic that you do not buy US manufactured electronics? Oh wait, because there is no capacity in the US to do that. May have something to do with the fact that Americans dont like that type of work.
Whats crazy is in the 90s we did. Also if its so difficult how was apple able to pivot to india so quickly.
 
Yeah, I’ll be honest when I saw the headlines I thought it was something out of the onion. Apparently Hegseth wants to make it a regular monthly thing. So much for separation of church and state among other things wrong with this

The sooner we can vote these traitorous chuckleheads out of office the better
Several links like NYT has it. OH and just like Trump. "Pete Hegseth admitted to having five affairs during first marriage" the wonderful Republican Christian Values. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/us/politics/pete-hegseth-prayer-pentagon.html

The original sin is the decline of Reagan in his second term and how Republicans hid that. Reagan didn’t appear in public at all after he left office and for good reason.
 
You'd think that an American administration hell-bent on bringing manufacturers back to the US would make it easy to hire those die and toolmakers and bring them to America. It's not like boats and planes don't exist.
I hope you're not suggesting that this administration encourage non-white people to emigrate here. The nerve!

It may be too late. Too many knuckleheads and too many knuckleheads voting for the knuckleheads!
 
I’m still trying to figure out why Trump is insisting that Walmart eat the tariffs, after he told us all again and again and again, that the other countries (like China) would be paying the tariffs?
Them eating the tariff would be effectively sweeping the dirt under the rug. Sure there's still just as much dirt, but the typical person wouldn't see it. Of course that analogy starts to fall apart when Walmart, now making tiny margins is forced to layoff a large number of US workers. Remember, with Trump it's about appearances and especially short term appearances so delaying the visibility of the problems with tariffs works in his favor.
 
Say what you will about Biden but he actually achieved more than any other President in my lifetime. And I’ve been voting since 1980.

P.S. So Jake Tapper from CNN is no longer fake news, or what?
A lot of people work in the white house, and whatever’s biden’s full mental state was he and his folks staffed very very well for the most part, so they managed to get a lot of good stuff done. An election isnt just about one guy, as much as Trump’s cultists seem to think it is
