Thats hilarious as usual when it comes to Trump. :)
And the tone... I expect... The president for a few months, who has been in jail and is full of lies, expects someone, which he doesnt know by the right name, to comply with arbitrary rules...
What a guy.

Can someone calculate how much an iPhone would cost if manufactured in the USA?
Not much. It's basically just the cost of adding a "Made in USA" sticker to the box.
Pay massive bribe to Dirty Donny, put sticker on.

Will the US factories have suicide nets too, or is that reserved for Taiwan?
I thought the nets were in the PRC.

It sounds like he thinks the word "tariff" just means "payment". Then he follows that with "[whoever he thinks should make the payment]". Tariff by Apple, Tariff by China, etc. Honestly. I don't know how else you can make it make sense.
he makes it sound like the manufacturers pay the tarriff so his moron supporters think it's a good idea.
If Apple is the importer of record for its products, then it does incur and pay the tariff to the U.S. government. But obviously that gets passed along to consumers as no company will simply eat the cost.
All to try and flood the treasury so he can afford tax cuts he promised to donors.
Turns out running the government is hard and it sucks.
Trump has become schizophrenic again.
Trump has a lot that seems might be wrong with him, but schizophrenia never really seemed to be on the list. Narcissism, dementia, psycho-/socio-pathy, compulsive lying, and possibly more, but I've never gotten the feeling he displayed the hyperpatternicity I associate with schizophrenia.
Honestly he sounds like just about every old man I've ever met, rambling on about whatever nonsense is running through his head at any given moment.

"Trump says..." A load of fucking bollocks, to be frank. You can rest assured what he says is the opposite of reality. He's a pathological liar.
He did say he would fuck his daughter if she weren't his daughter.
Which part is the lie? That he wouldn't fuck his daughter if she weren't his daughter or that he would fuck his daughter if she were his daughter?

Even with tariffs it's still not financially viable to Apple to bring manufacturing to the U.S. and if they still decided to it would take 10to 15 years to get going. It ain't gonna happen. Sad oompa-loompa.
he's extorting everyone it has nothing to do with tariffs
It’s basically “lose a huge amount of money or do me favours that cost you 1/100 as much”. Surprise, surprise, they do the favours.
How many clearance lot jets can Apple provide? Maybe Apple TV wants to host a truth social media network?

What the hell is with the "Thank you for your attention to this matter?"
You're shitposting to a global media audience, not politely asking Facilities to restock the vending machine with Snickers bars.
Are you just in full Business Guy Autocomplete mode? A Bigly Language Model?
Facilities doesn't stock the machines, the machine company does it itself or contracts a third party.
He's been doing it a lot lately, it's so absurd...
That bothers me too. It's the business equivalent of " do what I say. I don't want to have to help. Go fuck yourself"

But, but, but... I thought the foreign governments paid the tariffs? /s just in case
Thank you very much Tim Apple
Thanks God he clarified he's talking about Tim Cook of Apple, for a moment I thought he was speaking about my neighbor from downstairs.
Tim Apple the cook
