  • Trump's belief that iPhone manufacturing could quickly move to the US is wrong

    Wow Lutnick and Bessent with Trump are the ultimate Trifecta of morons. “Millions screwing into these little holes is coming here”…I mean I just can’t. Where do these people come from? How could they possibly be so ignorant? I agree I think big tech will raise prices and just wait out his term or midterms democratic landslide in a year and half. 
    The real problem is the world wide rage and resentment directed at America and its companies… Apple included. Canada, Denmark, Germany and people in Uk talking about boycotting American goods and services..

    I think it fair to say that the USA has contributed far, far more to the ledger than Western Europe. There are tens of thousands of yank dead in European cemeteries that suggest otherwise. As a distant observer, I would suspect that Europe resents that, as it does resent all uppity former colonies that have done well. But the USA most of all.
    my own country just has the general 10% tariff applied, so I reckon we won’t notice it. The risk for us is our massive trade surplus with China (that surplus means China has us by the short and curlies), the reverse situation for China with the USA (which will have China by the short and curlies). If China contracts and stops buying our minerals, well….
    There is more to the ledger than financial numbers…. American soft power and political objectives were  support by European countries. In terms of dead Americans involved in wars, yeah you charged European countries dearly for that… UK repayments only finished in 2008.  And if you want to talk about war dead, European countries have plenty war dead supporting the American war “ on terror” so there will be no lectures about that, thank you Chinese Govt didnt steal your jobs…. American business in the greedy pursuit of profit maximisation went to China…. Apple / Microsoft / Hewlett Packard being the prime examples.
