So now you have to wonder how many jumbo jets Google just gave Trump.
So now iPhones are going to cost 25% more.
It’s definitely Joe Biden‘s fault, Fox News told me so.

that goddamned Carter!
How’s that $1m bribe donation working out for ya, Timmy?
A million dollars given by apple to them would be like if I were to toss you a penny. I doubt they even notice.
For better or worse it went straight from Tim Apple's wallet to Trump's "inauguration fund."
Wait a second. I thought China paid the tariffs...
Trump is just so fucking dumb. He can’t grasp basic fucking concepts like tariffs.
He’s the shiny puppet that distracts you from the criminal fascist republican party which exists to increase their own power and wealth by undermining democracy.
Tariffs would be gone tomorrow if republicans in congress wished it. Trump would be impeached and removed from office within a few weeks if the republicans in congress wished it.
Are they performing their duty to control tariffs? Are they performing their separation of powers duties to stop a criminal who keeps violating the constitution?
No, they are not. Instead they are praising him and passing budget plans and laws that transfer even more wealth to billionaires and further weaken separation of powers.
The republican party is a criminal organization.
He’s not stupid, he’s corrupt. He wants bribes to remove tariffs, and it’s working.
He doesn’t care that this hurts real people.
He understands that tariffs fill the Treasury which he and his friends are emptying to full their pockets.
I don't think he cares about filling the Treasury, unless you mean his personal bank account.
He sees tariffs as something other countries don't like. So if he uses the tool, he makes other countries come to him to make deals. These deals give him a chance to be bribed. That's all there is to it. And he's been successful since his family fortune has been increasing by $1,000,000,000/month since he took office. And crypto is the perfect method to enable this corruption.
I laugh so hard every time he talks about other countries releasing their insane into our country! No, Donny. Those are called asylum seekers. Very important distinction.
"Paid by apple".
So...does he think that because Apple is "Paying", that price won't get passed down to the consumer?
Is he so fucking dense that he thinks that Apple will eat a quarter of the cost of their flagship product line...one that already has razor-thin margins to begin with? Is he that entitled?
@vegeta Didn’t he previously say the exporting countries pay the tariffs?
So where does Apple's money come from?
Me: (Raises hand quietly…)
I can’t wait to get one of those high paying jobs assembling iPhones when they bring the manufacturing back here.
Lol, why do Americans put up with this nonsense?
