Trump threatens 25% tariff on Apple products unless iPhones are made in US

I don't understand why they don't just eat the tariffs. Let them eat the cake they bought.

25% tariff is still cheaper than re-shoring. Well, Apple never made them here anyways, but you get the point. To make them here, they'd have to jack that price up by way, way more than 25%.

The Daily Show had a guy that wrote a book on how Apple has been one of the biggest reasons for China's economic growth in the past 15 or so years, with them investing like $50 billion a year and driving literally millions of jobs in just their supply chain. Trump isn't changing that. Apple would pull out of selling in the US before they'd reverse course at this point.

Look how quickly they were ready to make and ship devices from India, when the China tariffs firs hit. They are smarter than the Trump admin, and planned for this.

That's not how any of this works, Donald.

This is all about gaining loyalty. He thinks if he gets all the big corps bowing to him and the military and all the other schemes that ChatGPT can easily identify that come next election he will have the "muscle" to stay in office.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the stupidest man alive!
