I'm going to so be pissed and relieved when, in the near future, Trump "suspends" this one and the price of AAPL surges back. Pissed because the profit all his insider-trader cronies will make; relieved because I have so much invested in AAPL.

I wish I were so confident that his corruption outweighs his idiocy that I could afford to put my money where my mouth is (by acting like an insider trader knowing he's going to orchestrate a market boost for AAPL soon). Instead I'm just going to keep holding on and ride out the Trump chaos.

"the price of AAPL surges back".. LMAO..

Take a valuation. PE (FWD) x28. Single low digit growth while MSFT. META, AMZN, NVDA deliver double digit growth to justify their high PE (FWD). 

Why should AAPL surge with their timid revenue growth? LOL. 

AAPL is under pressure. AI is cooked. Even John Siracusa wants Tim to step down in his recent article "Turnaround". 

But Apple fanboys don´t want to listen that AAPL is under pressure. 

Have fun with tiny upgrades from year to year and you pay way more for iPhones. 

AAPL is and remain the worst performer by end of this year. AAPL can´t surge. This rotten stock can stay low for awhile.

Now, it is up to Tim Cook how he will respond and drive the stock up again.

Amazon is also facing headwinds, but the stock has recovered so far.
Walmart, too.
Jensen Huang responded immediately and the US government removed the chip restriction to sell to China.

If Tim Cook still has no answer, he needs to step down. 

Apple Investors must be frustrating now due to poor stock performance (downhill for 8 days in a row). 

Tim Cook.. If you are reading this, you are cooking Apple and if you have no idea how to navigate, step down. 

I guess if Tim wont do what Trump tells him to, then it's best to destroy Apple (and any other American brand that won't toe the line) - is that his cunning plan? - looks like it's working well.

To be fair: The recent stock performance is not directly linked to tariffs or Trump. 
It is just Apple´s poor performance. 
Even companies incl. AMZN, NVDA, META and MSFT are hitting almost ATH despite of tariffs and fear of potential recession. 

Walmart just announced to raise prices due to tariffs, but Trump does not threat Walmart to announce 25% tariffs on Walmart. Even Walmart is doing fine on the stock market.

So... Why is that?? Because other companies are doing fine and still navigating for further growth stories while Apple´s growth story does not exist.

Even Xiaomi overtakes Apple at Wearables in China. Apple again raises some trade benefits for new iPhones in China. 
But if you look at AppleWatch 7 ~ 10, you don´t have major benefits.
iPhone 14, 15 and 16 do not give any significant upgrades. 
Apple Intelligence has turned to Apple Incompetency. 

Even today, the stock market is doing quite "well" with less losses. Only Apple gets hammered. I think investors have found any reasons from Trump why they have to sell. 
It is not about Trump´s speech, but mainly about Apple´s general poor performance.

Apple is rotten.

Privacy is exactly NOT what more and more goverments want!! 

Apple is the worst stock performer YTD among Magnificant 7 anyway. 

Trump gives a good reason why Tim Cook may stay as CEO at Apple although his performance as CEO has been poor for years. 

Rotten Apple can justify that it is Trump´s fault for bad performance on the stock market. 

Trump can blame on Apple for higher unemployment rate because Apple does not move their production to the US. 

Still hard to believe that US Americans elected Trump as the US president. 

US Americans have been brainwashed anyway. They don´t get any proper education. 

Apple is rotten. The US "small" government is rotten. And the majority of the US Americans still likes it.
