Seems like stock market likes the deal for Apple 

it does not. Apple's gains were pre-market open. Trump's announcement was at 12:44 eastern time.

AAPL is down from pre-market gains.

Look again 

I'm not sure why people are using share price to prove a point when it is just mass gut reaction - are things better today (share price up) or worse (share price down. Share price really doesn't predict the future only peoples fears or hopes.

My understanding is that there is a new White House directive about to come out that says if you have a label on your product that "Made in the USA" then the product is exempt from tariffs.

The only hassle appears to be that the label itself must be made in the USA and affixed to the product wherever it is being imported from, before the product enters the USA.

I'm not sure we need to be concerned over someone trying to do what cannot be done. Why not allow Trump the rope to hang himself? Ok we all get a pile of trouble, but at the end (assuming we are right) America is weaker and the rest of the world stronger. More likely though we all muddle through the next more important disaster - there will always be one.

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. 

I agree with you - Trump need to be allowed the time to destroy all American companies (a good start with Apple) in his own special way so the rest of the world can move on without America being a constant pain in the you know where.
