OP, please remove the part from the headline about Trump being wrong about 'hundreds of percent'. You will likely trigger someone from either side. It has no value in the headline. I don't mind that it is in the story.
Apple should definitely make their phones in the US. Just like Trump's clothing brand is all made in the US. Oh, oops, never mind.
Trumps ignorance is very biggly.
I imagine Mr. Cook thinking something similar to what Tyrion might think if he had to listen to Joffrey speak at a small council meeting. But Mr. Cook would realize that he represented the interests of shareholders, and it was more than just his own head in jeopardy, so he’d be less likely to speak up than Tyrion was.
I've yet to see one person mocking Trump use "bigly" correctly.
Youre all ****ing it up, bigly.

Wow. POTUS is a total moron. Even a 4th grader can do percentages better.
Robots require no benefits packages.
But robots do require designers, programmers, parts/components, assemblers, shippers, installers, and routine maintenance. Sounds like the robots will create jobs, not replace them.
RE: "Instead, Apple said that the issue was caused by Chinese consumers not purchasing iPhones, ..."
That's the AAPL Company Line, but the "real" reason is:
AAPL's current situation is a direct result of AAPL Over-Playing their Hand, & Buying-Into their Own Hype.
Nothing more, nothing less.
If things were so Rosy here in the States & elsewhere OUTSIDE of China, AAPL would NOT be offering better & better deals over time, OR trying to swamp consumers with their Ads & such.
Last month, I predicted AAPL would announce Cook had stepped down as CEO on Dec 28th.
That didn't happen, but on Jan 2nd, AAPL dropped a Bombshell instead.
The Market is Dumb, ALL the signs where there by Nov 1st !

Hundreds of percent. Yeah Trump really know what's he's talking about. Don't wear yourself out defending your cult leader.
Our President just can't help himself. He just has to say things that are demonstrably false. The list is painfully long and grows everyday. I suppose this is his way of deflecting attention from more substantive issues and of making the news day all about him. It is truly like a reality TV show in the White House.
What I love is when his supporters defend these ridiculous statements and attribute them to some kind of Jedi mind game of three dimensional chess that Trump is playing. When in fact he is just plain uninformed and unwilling to be informed.....ignorance coupled with arrogance....a lovely combination when paired with a healthy dose of narcissism.

But I asked a pretty direct question, to which you sidestepped
So i’ll ask again (for anyone): Apple won’t be fine?
THE LOOK ON TIM'S FACE!!!!!
Hundreds of percent. He said hundreds of percent.
cook is more likely showing an expressikn if ‘if only Mr President, if only, I’d be even more stinking rich then I am now....,’ Sad face

This year will be one rough year for them, not just its current share price to worry about.
In a sense, he’s not COMPLETELY wrong. At apple’s 52w high, its share price was almost double what it was when Trump was inaugurated.
Then again, we’re very far from the 52w high so he’s spewing “fake news”. His favourite kind of news.
Apple still has a huge cash hoard to ride this out. The only ones that are "not fine" are a handful of short-term AAPL investors, they lost money if they bought high in the past year. Long-term investors will eventually be fine, because Apple can survive with its cash hoard, so its stock will inch upward trajectory again. Maybe not right away, but it will in due time. Long-term investors don't bail out and get spooked on negative news. They're in it for many many many years.
So the tl;dr is they’ll be fine? And the joker was right for once? A broken clock is right twice a day, don’t forget!
I just find it hilarious left leaning folks and anti-Trumpers alike who love apple are ACTUALLY upset Trump defended them, said their stock is doing well overall (even if he misquoted the amount, incredibly petty but then again, that’s an entire political party’s arguments for you, wrapped up with raw emotion), and that they’ll be fine.
...What exactly are you outraged by? That he didn’t pinpoint the precise amount of where stocks are, with graphs and a lengthy breakdown? Would you prefer him to say Apple wont be fine, and stocks have been in the tank and will continue to be for the foreseeable future?
Manufactured outrage, at its pinnacle.
Time is coming that Trump and his cohorts will go to jail. The sad thing most of his supporters will still say it was Hillary's fault. LOL
Deplorables indeed.

Yes, he's right about the "Apple will be fine part". The Hundreds of Percent part is pure stupid. He said that merely to make it appear like HE was responsible for Apple stock value climbing an astronomical amount. It did not. Most of Wall Street stocks, the DOW in general, is down year over year, much of the plunge due to Donald's easy to win trade wars. He's not just a narcissist, he's a very stupid narcissist.
Is a misquote, which doesn’t render his original point useless that Apple will be fine, worth being outraged about? To you, it seems so. To me, i can’t find the effort to care. My energy and caring levels are finite. It’s like people being upset about AOC dancing now. I’m more worried that she wants 70% taxes to pay for her ‘sustainability’ money pot than dancing like humans do. Not worried about the petty.
...Are you also one of ‘those’ that says Trump has nothing to do with stocks when they dramatically rise, but has everything to do with when stocks crash without substantiation for either and without looking at overall trends and time periods? I’m guessing Obama also teed up all the job growth under Fascist Cheetoh. He was so selfless and hated Trump so much that he teed up a good economy for orange man to claim all the responsibility for! Hahaha How exhausting and confusing that must be! (& Don’t answer that, just a rhetorical question to ponder)

Someone in the know once said, you want to invest in a company with piles of cash you invest in a bank, NOT a consumer electronics corporation... hence its plummet in share price regardless of its piles of cash...
