    People are looking to much into his Tax Bill and Crypto Dinners. They can’t pass legislation secretly in the dead of night if the media and public aren’t distracted by bullshit.

    It hasn’t been half a year yet and the firehouse of chaos that is Trump is impossible to keep up with.

    Apple should just not sell them in the US then.

      Profiteers foregoing the largest source of profit? Not likely.

    Finally something Lemmy users can get behind since they hate Apple so much.

    Krasnov fails to realize the shareholders hold the power to decide manufacturing sites.

    He still doesn’t understand how tariffs work…

      Isn’t he just saying that he will tariff them so they’re paying 25% more for manufacturing in a foreign country?

      This is far left policy.

    Tarriffs are an articulable cost that can be direclt passed on to the consumer. Income taxes would be something more manageable and the company would need to figure out what to pay. But, Republicans increasing taxes on their donors? Ha!

      They didn’t make “back” money, they’re just making money. His friends are the ones telling him to say insane shit that drives the market (or specific targeted stocks like Apple) down, then they buy while it’s low. After a few days/weeks, he changes his mind/can’t enforce his nonsense and the stock goes back up, his friends sell and have nothing but profit. The majority of the shit he does is market manipulation to benefit himself and anyone riding his coattails.
