Once again, you victim ass nikkas refuse to make threads about any positive moves being made if Trump's name is in it because it doesn't fit your your victim ass narrative.

And I already know yall will come in here with a lack of understanding and say "that's just going to make iphone prices go up". Even if that's the case, the money will be in the USA, which should be a positive thing to you if you were born and raised here:


Apple, facing tariffs on Chinese imports, says it will invest $500 billion in US facilities​

New York City.
New YorkCNN —
Apple said Monday it will invest $500 billion on expanding US facilities over the next four years, a move that could help it avoid new tariffs on goods imported from China.
Apple said the investment will create 20,000 jobs.
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump announced tariffs of 10% on all imports from China, from which Apple imports many products, including most of its iPhones. Trump signaled Friday that the company was planning to make this investment following a meeting with Apple CEO Tim Cook on Thursday. Trump attributed the investment to his tariffs.

However, the investment builds on Apple’s previous efforts to expand its supply chain outside of China in recent years, partly in response to production issues in China during the pandemic. Those investments include growing production for Mac Pro computers in Texas.

Still, the US investment could help Apple avoid the cost of Trump’s new tariffs. Although it will be a while before the new facilities are operational and the bulk of Apple’s manufacturing will continue to occur overseas, the announcement could help the company curry favor with the president. And that could be useful if Apple seeks an exemption to the China tariffs, as it did during Trump’s prior term.

“We are bullish on the future of American innovation, and we’re proud to build on our long-standing US investments with this $500 billion commitment to our country’s future,” said Cook in a statement from the company.

At least some of these efforts were likely underway prior to Monday. And the announcement echoes similar promises Apple made during the two previous administrations.


In 2021, weeks after Biden’s inauguration, Apple said it would invest $430 billion in the United States over five years and create 20,000 new jobs, including construction of a new campus in North Carolina, which has reportedly been paused.

Bro, what?

In 2021, weeks after Biden’s inauguration, Apple said it would invest $430 billion in the United States over five years and create 20,000 new jobs, including construction of a new campus in North Carolina, which has reportedly been paused. And in January 2018, Apple said it would invest $350 billion in the United States over five years and create 20,000 jobs, including by growing US data center capacity.

Apple did not immediately respond to a question about whether any of the promised investment dollars or new jobs announced Monday had also been included in prior announcements.

Why add that stupid ass comment? :dahell: Nevermind, this is TLR. Get your shyt off :unimpressed:

People weren't happy about the deportations on here now?

the money will be in the USA, which should be a positive thing to you if you were born and raised here:
I wouldn't fault a group dealing with systematic racism for not caring. Hard to be enthused when you're under economic attack.

Please tell me how you or anybody you know life has been affected by anything Trump has done so far. Lost jobs? Been fired? Been denied anything? I'm not saying that cant happen, but I'm asking as of right now
