Every one of these announcements turns out to be a lie, nothing on paper, no follow through, but NYT & rest of Corporate Media amplifies each one dutifully.

If everyone is getting away with bribing Trump, Apple doesn’t want to miss out on that sweet corruption.

Trump lied in the announcement. He said “Apple is coming home.” They aren’t. Apple isn’t transferring iPhone production here. NYT should have led with that, but they at least put a blurb explaining that at the end of the video.

Just another episode of the “Reailty TV Presidency” that’s playing in the WH every day And the corrupt corporate media loves it “Tune in tomorrow to see and hear what he does next!” “He might even do the show from the roof!”

Even so, he also announced that he was placing a 100% tariff on chips made outside the USA, which of course, means almost all of them. There goes the rest of the US manufacturing, poof, and a FU to Tim Cook, whose gift, was deemed, too small, or not enough gold, or something.

Trump says Japan has agreed to invest 500 Billion dollars in the US. If you are a member of the media, here is a question you can ask: Will the $500 billion be transferred to the United States to be controlled by a US Trustee on the date of the signed agreement or is this a Wisconsin Foxconn redux?

How is this spreading misinformation? The thumbnail says Trump & Cook announced the deal together, and that Cook bent the knee and gave him 🦆ing gold. Then the article explains that these deals are 🐂 💩. Amplification, OK, but I think I want to know that Apple's CEO is making his obeisance to the 👑

Also, giving Trump (the person) gold in exchange for exemptions to US tax that Trump (the president) personally controls, which this looks a lot like, is obviously very corrupt.

NYT ignores the corruption, but does note deep in the article fact that Apple (and other companies) have long track-record of making these announcements and then not doing anything. Corporate Media is deliberately & knowingly spreading disinformation for Trump.

Trump touts Apple’s $600B U.S. investment— but most of it was already in motion before his second term began. 📍$430B pledged in 2021 📍Expanded to $500B by Feb 2025 (before inauguration) 📍Only the last $100B is new—and builds on existing plans Who got played? #Apple #Politics #Manufacturing
