In the most pathetic gesture ever done by someone, Tim Cook, Apple’s current CEO basically bent over to Trump’s tantrums yesterday, august 6th, at the white house.
The allegedly man went to the white house, glazed Trump for about 10 minutes, gave him a gold sign with his name on it, then glazed him for a little more.
This was all to announce that apple would invest 600 billion in the U.S. in the next few years, to please the Felon President.
Experts and people with at least 2 braincels have pointed out that this is very unlikely, as even recently apple has invested far more abroad, for iphone production, than internally in the country.
Many Apple customers(and fanboys) were extremely disappointed by the company’s move.
But why?
Ignoring theatrics, as apple will obviously not invest that amount in the U.S. as its impossible to manufacture iphones in the country, there is a reason why Tim humiliated himself before the american dictator: Money.
With the false pledge, apple guarantees it won’t be paying tariffs when importing their iphones from China and India, which recently had caused them to eat nearly $1 Billion in losses (and was going to add another one in the next 6 months).
Trump Tariff Wars
In what feels like a sequel nobody asked for, Trump’s 2025 tariff tantrum tour is back — this time with even dumber stakes. The so-called “stable genius” decided that restarting his economic war with China, the EU, and basically anyone not named Putin, was the best move to “protect American jobs.” What he’s actually protecting is inflation, supply chain chaos, and the death of American manufacturing — again. Because if there’s one thing we learned from his first round of tariffs, it’s that nothing screams “economic masterplan” like making basic goods more expensive for your own citizens and sparking retaliation from your trade partners.
The alledge man’s brain-dead solution to complex international trade? Slap tariffs on everything and scream “America First” loud enough so his base doesn’t notice their grocery bills went up 30%.
And surprise: Prices are going up! American farmers are getting obliterated again, car makers are raising prices (or moving operations abroad), and tech companies are scrambling to find loopholes while pretending they aren’t bleeding cash(and firing dozens of thousands). It’s not economic policy — it’s economic cosplay, performed by a guy whose understanding of trade fits on a trucker hat.
