Trump announces 100% tariffs on computer chips while simultaneously exempting Apple after they promised $100B investment. This isn't economic policy—it's pay-to-play. Just like Trump’s Carrier air conditioning stunt from his first term. "America First" really means "highest bidder first."

Corruption in the open. Ever since they executed truth they don’t care if we see it or report it because they think we can’t or won’t do anything about it.

How long do you think other countries are going to want to put up with this? How much help do you think the US would get if they needed it right now! The US is taking on Trumps personality…no one fucking likes him and they will feel that way about the US if the don’t already!

So this is why my brother is getting fired from Intel. I wondered why all the higher-ups were jumping ship. They just got fucked by Trump.

Donald Trump is a composite president: part conman, part showman, part tyrant, part wannabe mob boss. Not one of those traits belongs in a democracy — yet here we are.

They (Apple) announced this during Biden’s administration as well. Has it ever really come to fruition?

😅 I love it. These companies don't do anything new. Just tell Trump what he wants to hear and he'll do whatever you want.

Remember when he has States compete for life saving PPP equipment during ensuring everyone paid the highest prices for the products they sold. That’s his drug plan too. He doesn’t want to lower drugs in the United States. He wants to raise prices everywhere else. Bizzaro President.

Apple has a history of making commitments like this and then falling short in the execution. This might be them just playing Trump to get what they want.
