    I vaguely recall there is a political ideology that says the government centrally controls what you produce. What's that called again?

      Of course it would cost way more than 25% of the iPhone price just to manufacture them here, to say nothing of the cost of building new plants, etc, to accommodate a policy that will be voided by the next administration. So we'll get more expensive phones AND no jobs.

      Win-win!

        Tim Cook made a valiant effort to explain things to him in the white house last week, but apparently to no avail. Trump lives in his own economic reality. So, this will just be a drag on America's greatest company, to no benefit to anybody, other than maybe Apple's international competition.

          No, this will not be a drag on the Trump Organization.

                Back to 50% tariffs for the EU.

                https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114556968834547173

                ... Our discussions with them are going nowhere! Therefore, I am recommending a straight 50% Tariff on the European Union, starting on June 1, 2025. ...

                  I opened my trading app and saw futures were up a little. So naturally I went straight to truth social.

                  What I am relieved by about this one, is that the setup and rug-pull happened entirely between sessions. No chance of cronies trading inside info.

                      That’s a stupid approach to take from a markets analyst. He’s actually trying to goad Trump into not reconsidering tariffs and to pull the trigger…

                              What's more concerning is Trump wasn't aware of the TACO acronym until a reporter had to explain it to him. I know he doesn't, but he would do very well to have some sort of brave employee telling him the reality "out there" so he's at least aware. But dare we interrupt his false reality...

                                Plenty of people out there hoping Trump damages the economy as much as possible. I'm sure they'll take the opportunity to goad Trump into more macho tariffs.
