Trump may impose tariffs on Iphones made in China. Apple stock drops

[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.

What a good little statist you are! Yea big government!

No government growth is required to collect taxes from those who **** over the American population & rip off American consumers

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.

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.

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.

It’s been working great for the EU and China for decades. So your argument is dead.

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

President Donald Trump suggested he could place a 10 percent tariff on iPhones and laptops imported from China, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal published Monday.

Trump suggests US could slap 10% tariffs on iPhones and laptops imported from China

The threat to impose tariffs isn't the same as actually implementing them, of course.

President Trump is in favor of Free Trade, but also Fair Trade, and this warning to Red China is part of his negotiating tactics. Remember our President is the author of the "Art of the Deal", Americans should just be sitting back watching the master at work.

"Art of the Deal" is considered by many to be the most tremendous book since Almighty God published His epic tome, "The Holy Bible".

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.

You know China generally makes all the

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.

You know they just lost there market to an Android maker like Samsung... Samsung in South Korean...
Make America Great Again... Idiots...

All the globalists don’t have a problem with the EU and China using protectionist tariffs to their advantage,

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.

It isn’t similar at all. They tax the shit out of US goods, and we tax very very little. Why do you think the US market is flooded with German cars and there are very few US cars in Europe? Tariffs. All President Trump had to do was threaten some tariffs and the EU shit their pants. The EU trade chief already stated they would drop tariffs against the US if we don’t impose tariffs. So long as they go through with it, mission accomplished, no tariffs between the EU and the US.

Your mistake is swallowing the load of shit that globalist pigs squeal out and regurgitating it as fact.

Not so good for their citizens who have less choices and higher prices as a result. Your brain is dead if you want that duplicated here.

Now President Trump is getting the EU to drop the tariffs, which will give them more choice and cheaper goods. Again, the long term goal is for equal footing among like countries like European and North American.

China is a different story since they are a third world shithole that uses virtual slave labor. So yes we may have to pay more money for some goods. Not a problem for people against slavery and for human rights.

Wrong. China will be treated differently than the EU. Just pointing out that tariffs do “work”, since ignorant people are claiming they don’t work. The level of tariffs doesn’t transform an economy to “socialism”. China will still be communist regardless of their tariff policies.

Tariffs work because China has a socialist market economy and their people have less freedom. Is that what you want for the people of this country?

The only reason we dropped tariffs was because after WWII all of our economic competitors were literally destroyed.
