Once again. Companies do NOT pay tariffs. They pass on those costs of those tariffs to their customers. YOU are gonna pay that extra 25% not Apple.
It’s coming true.
And again “tariff must be paid by Apple” really shows that he still has no idea how they work.
Made in India + 25% tariff is still cheaper than made in Murica.
That BS is just for media.
And it’s actually usable.
Tbf the labor will be done by the minorities and undesirables they will keep throwing in prison without due process
along with the poor white folk who voted for him.
That sounds like a nice mix where nothing terrible could happen. Tons of black and brown people surrounded by the poor white rural idiots that disenfranchised both of their lives.
I see the problem here. He’s talking to Tim Cook, who’s CEO of some cooking company. He needs to talk to Tim Apple.
He’s actually cooking apple pies. Or is it called baking? Is it Tim Bake?
No, tim doesn’t get baked, but we’re planning on it tonight
I want to elect Pine for the next CEO
This isn’t about making Apple make iPhones in the US. This is a 25% tax on everyday Americans that the fascists will blame on Apple for not making iPhones in the US and use to give tax breaks to the rich. Trump and his cabal are reverse Robin Hooding the American people and 70 million of them are lining up to lick his boots for it.
The US is turning into my games of stellaris a little bit more everyday. Oh boy you sure dont want to be in my games of stellaris guys.
You know that is somewhat true. What everyone could see when I was kid has come to pass. The people like trump and the actual billionaires in this country sold us out then. They sold us out by moving all the manufacturing offshore. Now these same greedy trash humans want all that back since they have realized that the ability to manufactures products was the United States real power. They delivered millions of my parents generation into poverty and wage slavery to make a buck by moving the job overseas. Now these horrible people and their followers are doing the same thing to try to get it back. They don’t understand nor do they care about the real people in this country. Only about themselves.
Their followers who are not profiting from this must be really, really stupid.
The reason why manufacturing was moved offshore was because it cost more money to produce the goods in the states and they had to adhere to us regulation. Products are cheap because they’re build offshore. No one actually wants the factory jobs back in the states because they’ll be too expensive to produce, and a lot of the jobs will be done by bots anyway. If the iPhone was the be built in the states it would cost $3.5k. Billionaires want a peasant class. They’re envious of China - lots of low educated people earning nothing working long hours. Billionaires have low self esteem.
The Art of Extortion.
I wonder if he knows apple simply can not comply with this. Apple doesn’t know how to make iPhones (at the scale and rate needed) and no one in the US does either.
RIP
Killing Biden’s CHIPs act certainly didn’t help that cause.
He will kill and reinstate it to sell it as his own doing.
Obviously guided by his counselers and consultants.Oh, like NAFTA!
Problem is that it had bidens sign on it, so he was forced to kill it without even taking care of its contents
No he wasn’t. It’s just because of his pride and idiocy that he thinks he was.
It was a horrible idea, absolutely terrible for us, we were being ripped from with waste fraud and abuse. We have the best plan, everyone says so. The concept of a plane, that will be immense.
He still has absolutely no clue how tariffs work. Amazing for someone who throws them left and right without thinking. Although the latter might explain it.
The worst take from his opposition: “trumps such a dumb idiot”. And it’s why the left gets out-maneuvered; they imagine those on the right as only either 1. Imbeciles 2. Racists.
The right sees the left as cunning, and strategizes how to outplay them.
The left sees the right as backwards morons, and strategizes how to insult them. It seems to be the main play, and is doing him a favor by shutting down closer examination.
Trump is a demented moron who has no fucking idea what’s going on.
His faceless staff, led by Stephen Miller, are very smart and know exactly what they’re doing.
if that’s the case, if he’s just an idiot puppet, why spend energy attacking him and his character specifically? It doesn’t persuade anyone on the right, and it doesn’t help the left focus on the people pulling the strings.
The news, and left leaning communities online, have told me every day for 8+ years that trump is stupid, etc. What’s the point?
I dunno, why are we still talking about Bidens brain so often? Because it’s salacious. The absolute most braindead motherfucker is president, again, and people are pissed
It blows my mind when people say he has a reason for his tarriffs and it’s about enrichen his friends. He’s braindead and tarriffs is just the new word he learned. Tim Apple is gonna be mad.
What does he not understand correctly here?
Step 1. Add Tarrifs.
Step 2. Wait till the share price falls.
Step 3. Buy in low.
Step 4. Lift the tariffs again.
Step 5. Wait till the share price rises.
Step 6. Profit.
This is what you get for bending down to the tyrant in inauguration day. You cant appease tyrants, you must fight them.
iPhones not iPhone’s… Who let this idiot be in charge of anybody? Did he even go to school?
& Just that entire sentence is atrociously bad
Thank your for your attention to this matter!€
LMFAO it’s the entire fucking tweet!! Thank your for your… omg you are the president of the united states get grammarly or something…you sound even dumber than the people who voted for you…
Good fuck apple they probably donated to trump
They did, or at least Tim Cook did.
This won’t hurt apple one bit. They will pass the cost on t to American consumers. This is a 25% tax on everyday Americans to pay for the billions of dollars of tax cuts for the rich.
What about the components? Should they also be produced in the US?
Let’s be clear, producing the iPhone in the US would be more than a 25% cost increase.
An extra 25% must be paid by consumers. Like every other tariff. New taxes be like that.
And knowing the cult of Apple, they’ll pay it because it makes them look wealthy. That is the whole culture of Apple Customer base.
'What’s up, everybody? This is your boy Apple Lad, and I came through with one of those Tariff I Phones, just so I can unbox it for you!
And if similar is on every phone? You can’t really do without a phone so at that point, it’s 25% inflation.
“A fool and his money will soon be parted.”
Selling iPhones made outside US: bad
Selling MAGA hats and swag made in China: art of the deal
