Trump hesitates over instituting China tariffs that would hurt Apple
Yep. Trump's tariffs on soybeans from China resulted in retaliatory tariffs by China that hurt U.S. soybean farmers so badly that they needed a taxpayer funded bailout.jeffharris said:Tariffs will just trigger tariffs on US goods.
the man who managed to bankrupt multiple gambling casinos is hardly an economic genius.

Correct, not with cultists BUT the most recent U.S. election wasn't determined by Trump's cult. It was largely determined by a combo of lower Democratic turnout + a large number of voters that were upset with inflation and blamed Biden. Inflation is a fact.muthuk_vanalingam said:
Do facts matter with cultists? I am from India and in similar situation to you guys in terms of dealing with cultists. Facts just do NOT matter to them. Only difference - We are in a slightly worser position here in India. Cultists have elected same PM for 3rd consecutive term (yes, it is allowed here, unlike US). And the signs are not looking good for next election in 2029 either.foregoneconclusion said:FYI: the current trade agreement with Mexico and Canada was negotiated by the 1st Trump administration. That Trump trade agreement is what replaced NAFTA. So if he thinks Mexico/Canada are taking advantage of the U.S., it's because his own deal was garbage.

FYI: the current trade agreements for North America and China were negotiated by the 1st Trump administration. Trump abandoned both NAFTA and TPP in order to do his own deals during his first term. So if he thinks the U.S. is being taken advantage of by Mexico/Canada/China per trade, then that means his own deals were garbage.

Apple CEO Tim Cook offers innovation and jobs to President Trump's America
Translation: give us more personal and corporate tax cuts that we don't need.

Trump claims Tim Cook has committed Apple to massive US investment
GOP needs some cover for the renewal and/or expansion of the $2 trillion tax cut from 2017. Business leaders claimed they would use the cuts for investments in infrastructure and employees but it mostly just went into the profit column or towards stock buybacks.
