It will take between 7 - 15 years to see factories Stateside.  

The President should have cracked a history book and read about the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act and how it pretty much triggered the Great Depression.

Then again, the Great Derision was worldwide, and the halting of free trade gave way to a ton of disaffected people with no jobs and no hope. Including a Germany that was already struggling under WWI reparations.

And which gave rise to the Nazi party, Nazi Germany, and all of the rest.

Hmm. Maybe he did study the history of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act after all.

But regardless of that, those tariffs were met with reciprocal tariffs from around the world. Sound familiar?

The bottom line? Everyone got poorer.

Not wealthier.

People complain about the lack of innovation, but most don't have a clue as to how long some of these projects take.

Musk's SpaceX has urged federal regulators to try and slow down or stop Apple's satellite expansion.

I'm sure Musk's duly appointed stooge will be able to make that happen.

People say they want one. Apple makes one. People don't buy one. Apple stops making one.

Rinse. Repeat.

On a serious note, if Apple makes one they need to commit to making one for more than just a year. People are on multi-year upgrade cycles, and even people who might want one might be off-cycle and unable to buy at that point in time.

Secondarily, they also need to make sure it has adequate battery life, something that's plagued mini phones for years now.
