Tech stocks have been sliding lately. Don't expect this to alleviate the situation.

I hope he tries. Few people understand because few people see the tax breaks for the wealthy that he gave them and the deficit it spawned which is now a Trillion dollars a year is a direct result of it. These are important but they are just minutia. Make someone's replacement phone cost 70-100 dollars more and it may finally dawn on the hate-belt that the blob isn't on their side.

Question is, are Chinese workers making phones more than 10% cheaper than they'd be if they were made in the US. Everyone else can get cheaper iPhones, just not Americans.

Anyway, iPhones suck balls.

Think of all the taxes Apple gets to evade by using Chinese slave labor. The left favor giving these corporations tax breaks. If they had manufacturing here, all those workers would be taxed here, and making fair wages.

The really moronic thing is that the blob seems to think that the US Market is enough to lure Apple to set up shop here....

The overseas market is much more lucrative and much less saturated than the US. They'll happily absorb the tariff, charge the US consumers more and never think twice about it. At worst, the tariffs are a 6 year proposition going forward. By the time they set up manufacturing, trained workers, etc... it would be time to shutter the plant and forget the blob ever happened; Lord knows we all will be happy when he oozes out of the White House too.

Then what’s the problem? It’s a good way to collect taxes and pay off our debt.

Problem is, if they move their production to the US, they'll also save playing US taxes too, because that's what huge multinationals do.

Yeah...that'll do it.

Hahahahaha! They are coming to take all of you away! Apple reported WORLDWIDE demand for the new IPhone was down sharply, and it would fall far short of expectations. Hahahahahahaha! Try again. Fantasy far exceeds even the most minute fact again.

It is called "capitalism" look it up. It is a far better system than this big government socialism that you push.

Not sure why that is funny. theHawk is counting on the tariffs to pay off Trump's debt. But now you're stating that demand is plunging. So no money from the tariffs.
Oh well, the blob mis-calculates yet again.

Yea, that’s what the neo-cons told us for decades while companies shipped jobs overseas and put the blue collar middle class out of work. All in the name of “free trade”.

Thing is almost all other countries use tariffs against us. Funny how you don’t address that. All the globalists don’t have a problem with the EU and China using protectionist tariffs to their advantage, yet if America threatens to do the same, it’s going to be “catastrophic”.

Only in the short term. The point of tariffs is to balance free trade and encourage manufacturing and jobs in the US. Obviously that is something that bothers you, very telling.

That it won't work, never has worked, and only drives the price of goods upward does bother me. As our Trillion dollar yearly deficits indicate already. But hey, don't let facts destroy your fantasy.

Trade weighted mean tariff levels between the US and the EU are very similar. Your mistake is swallowing what the orange shitgibbon says as gospel.

So, because socialist countries use tariffs against us, we should join them in socialism and have the government take even more control of our means of production and what the citizens of this country buy.

Here is an idea, if you are so enamored with those other countries, go live there. Quit trying to make us like them

Now stop swallowing.

What is Apple cuts USA jobs to make up for losses?

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

iPhones are overrated garbage.

As far as tariffs go I think every company that is American based but makes their products overseas should face stiff tariffs/import taxes.
