  • Donald Trump promises to make Apple manufacture in US instead of China

    He did not say he would "force" Apple to do anything. There are many appropriate ways to "get" companies to use American labor - assuming they are available. Tim Cook says they aren't. Others say they are here. The truth probably lies somewhere in between. The tax, regulatory and union environment in the US discourage companies from expanding in the US. Trump might be able to influence some of the needed changes for Apple to build more computers in the US.
    Finally somebody else to set the record straight.  At no point did he imply he was going to "force" Apple to manufacture in the US.

    Secondly, Steve Jobs appealed to Obama to help him with manufacturing and apparently Obama was either so disinterested with Jobs' requests that Jobs himself switched off any Obama support from that point forward.  (I believe this was referenced in Jobs' book)
