If they were doomed to fail like they keep pretending, it would be a win for them heading into the midterms.Instead they are trying to sabotage Trump from enacting any of his policies that got him elected like that will win them votes.

Why do you think Apple don’t manufacture iPhones in America? You’ve got some front calling people gullible when you’re claiming iPhones can be made in the USA
I’m off to the Beach, gonna enjoy my weekend. You can argue with someone else seeing as it’s all you ever do.
Must be a sad lonely life spending every chance you get arguing on this forum.
Sad cսnt!Yanks don’t get irony do they?
I’ll be watching the CL final with a glass of wine thanks. Pick me up one of those American made iPhones while you’re out thanks![]()

basically Mocking Trump for stating that they were NOT gonna be made in the USA.
Looks like you were wrong, Trump has told them build them in the USA or be Tariffed.
Let’s see if Apple defies Trump…. I have a funny feeling that not only will Apple build them in the USA but they will build them and Apple will eat the additional cost.
suffice to say, Trump is insisting they do what’s right for the US consumer, How much money do they need before they give something back? They will after all benefit from the tax cuts in Trumps big beautiful.
Well played the Donald!If you think they’ll be manufacturing iPhones in the USA, then I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
Estimates are between $3,000 to $3,500 to manufacture an iPhone in the USA
Estimates Lol! Who’s estimates are those CNN’s ffs.
You honestly think those numbers are accurate ffs.
Nothing but propagandist bullshit as usual.
unbelievable how gullible you are.

I think you’ll find wage increases and lower taxes will more than compensate for a minimal increase on the items we get from China, Remember now it was only a week ago when you were laughing that Apple were building their I phones in India and not the USA, falsely calling out Trump for saying they were gonna be built in the USA.
Looks like you were wrong about that as well!
Dumb guy!“I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhones that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else.”

as for inflation, I’ve already pointed out to you that it went up month on month, and that manufacturing input costs are going up.
aside from that, your biggest retailers are telling you prices will go up. You just wait until those American made iPhones hit the shops![]()

As for the national debt, not sure how that is all Trumps fault.
As for interest rates being up, if you had half a brain you’d know they were up while Biden was in office due to Biden’s inflation problem, Raised by the Fed to counter inflation, It is the Fed who sets monetary policy and Trump has been telling Powell to lower rates for months.
So yes it is another ridiculous liberal sound bite when it was Biden who put us here.
Funny how you’ve stopped talking all that bollocks about inflation all of a sudden. You starting to realize that you are a simpleton yet?
Again showing just how dumb you are.Have borrowing costs gone up or down since Trump took office? His tariffs and their impact have made it impossible for the FED to drop rates. That is on Trump. Lucky TACOotherwise we’d be calling him Donald Truss.

Still no signs of stagflation are there?
