        Yeah, cause margins don’t exist. Remember when the Republicans were yelling at Biden for blaming inflation on greedy Jewish grocers?

          You either die a tariff hawk, or live long enough to embrace greedflation.

                  Yep.

                  At least Trump will make pro capitalism noises though.

                    Perhaps along with also more ICE raids at Walmart locations?

                              I know this is wasted CO2 at this point but how does Trump have the "power" to point to a specific company and tell them they're going to pay a 25% tax on their products?

                                  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.

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