I'm a lifelong Republican, a dyed-in-the-wool Reaganite back in the day and a door-to-door campaigner for Richard Nixon at my tender age of 13 as a Young Republican.
All this started with Reagan. Please, spare us your adolescent reminices.
People seem to forget that the Founding Fathers hated their King and that the Constitution was meticulously crafted so that no one person could ever take control because they knew soon enough someone would try. I’m not at all saying Trump is that someone but people do seem nervous about this. For those who think this take comfort in knowing that our Constitution is ironclad and IF EVER NEEDED in the future the checks and balances will prove once again how great and strong our democracy and Constitution is.
This is sarcasm, right? The Extreme Court made TFG a king on 7/1/24.
he basically funded China. Would be great to see that kind of investment and more back home.
We have seen how countries force Apple to invest locally. China, India, Indonesia, Brazil,... and unless those investments keep rolling the Chinese could make a soft ban by making iPhone socially unacceptable like what is happening to Tesla - just faster.
If it made sense for Apple to invest in USA it would have happened.

Golden age fund.
He didn't fund China. The entire world funded China, and for very good reasons.
Those reasons haven't changed. It would take decades for the US to match China (if it is even possible) and even then, prices would be uncompetitive on a world scale.
We are already seeing this with chips made by TSMC on US soil.
It may even be inviable from an environmental perspective.
Not to mention that Trump is trying to dismantle the global supply chain, and by fracturing that, he has everything to lose with BRICS+ now moving full steam ahead.
He will be gone before we know it and the needle will hardly have moved but someone will have to come in and try to undo the damage. I don't envy whoever that is but I do hope Musk doesn't decide to run for president!
I love how people here try to rationalize Cook enjoying the Trump presidency, instead of just allowing themselves to admit they’ve been duped. Never change, AppleInsider! 😄
Why are people on the left so angry? Americans have a lot of freedom and they take it for granted.
Trump will do a great government for the world.
I suppose people on the left might be angry because Trump called them the enemy within, and said he would be a dictator on day one. Yeah, no reason to be concerned.
I’m proud to be considered The Enemy Within by fascists. It’s a badge of honor.

I'm not on the left and there are millions of others like me who recognize a self-serving tax fraud, bank fraud, election fraud, seditionist and traitor for what he is and know he should never have been allowed back. I'm not following very closely but South Korea seems to have the right idea.
Italy had the right idea about fascists 80 years ago.
I hope you get over your TDS and start to see the real world since it’s going to be a great 4+ years.
Yeah, let's keep from going into straight up hateful rhetoric. We're here to talk tech, not spread conspiracies and hate. I've deleted this comment.
And you've left this comment up? You think that's acceptable?
"Cheeto Mussolini could say the sky is blue and I’d check before I left the house. How do you know the idiot in chief is lying? His lips are moving."
See, this is left up because it is mostly the poster's opinion, doesn't harm anyone in the chat, and doesn't present dangerous or outright wrong conspiracies. The post that was deleted did.
Note that there are plenty of comments still up around the forums that complain about "leftists" or whatever. The rule isn't that you can't have an opinion. It's that you can't spread misinformation or hateful rhetoric.

Please point out anywhere where the deleted comment was spreading misinformation. And you want us to believe that "idiot in chief" is not hateful rhetoric? So, if I said "It is my opinion that you have TDS and hope you start to see the real world since it’s going to be a great 4+ years" this would be ok?

Well no, insulting me, staff, or other forum members isn't allowed. But making a comment about a president you don't agree with, within reason, is. It isn't hard really.
I don't remember word for word what the deleted comment said, but it was the usual nonsensical propaganda that doesn't have a place in our forums. Don't worry about it. Discussing moderation actions is also against forum rules, btw.
You do you and we will let you know if you break a rule. Just stick to the topic, don't insult our forum members or staff, and don't share misinformation and you'll be golden.
Because famously, Apple has never invested in the United States? [...]"
They actually did...back in the day. This being the Macintosh's birthday and all...the first ones were built in a factory in Fremont, California, across the Bay from Cupertino.
People here may mock President Trump but he has shown he gets things done and has brought jobs back to the US. The man really tries to do what he says unlike other Presidents which only pay lip service or laughs about bringing jobs back, aka Obama.
You should really look at numbers before saying things. His jobs reports were negative when he left office. He was the only president in recent memory who ended with negative job numbers by the end of his term. Guess who saved them and had the best job numbers since the 1960’s?
Only in America can someone, that's been convicted of a felony for being the cause of an insurrection / coup on the US government, become President. Almost makes me want to apply for a Green Card.
Why do propagate proven lies? The ignorance of leftists is truly astonishing. These tend to be the same people that want to ban free speech ( they intentionally mislabel it as hate speech) and want to fact check everything but the fact checkers are biased and not interested in facts only propaganda.
Fact checkers aren’t biased, your side just lies a hell of a lot more. deal with it, you entered a bubble of lies and have no actual idea of what is going on as a result. congrats, you’re the mark.

I hope I'm saying that tongue in cheek.
