How long before little Timmy Cook denies this happened?


Tim Cook is pragmatic and does what’s best for Apple. He worked with Trump during his first term and isn’t afraid to be seen with any politician.

He won’t if he wants the ridiculous fine to go away. Cook loyal to AAPL more than the dems whose counterparts in Europe levied the fine.

Paying such a fine isn’t a Tim Cook decision, it is a BoD decision, if ever.

Imagine believing that other governments aren't up to their ears in trade shenanigans.

Its amazing to read the posters on here trying to demean tariffs, when they have been raped by foreign govts on purchases they have made, and dont even have the common sense to research how

Lumber - Canada
Steel - China, Russia, Luxembourg
Big Pharm -France, Germany, Spain, China, Swiss, UK
Tech - China, Korea, India, Taiwan
Auto - Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Germany, China
Trinkets - China, Vietnam, Thailand

"Free trade" on the international level is a wonderful ideal. At this point that's all it really is, though. The idea that one nation can (or should ever attempt to) exercise it unilaterally is nothing short of an absurdity.

I hope Trump tells Apple to get their head out of their ESG arse first. Trump really is going to have to get the Euros to step back. Their new ESG law is gonna trickle thru our economy real bad in the next few yrs. So he better have someone tough krackin that whip on those mfrs.

When the 100% tariffs on goods from China go into effect, the iPhone will cost more than $1000. Perhaps that’s why he’s calling.

I do think he will, at least I hope he does, start putting tariffs on American companies that manufacture abroad.

If you remember, he gave a one time tax credit for American companies who had off shored their profits to bring back home. Many took advantage of it......and bought back shares instead of investing in plants. Made the CEOs a lot of money on their options, but did not benefit the US. I am sure Trump remembers it. He tried the carrot.....now comes the stick.

I'm not saying I trust him, but he's one of the most logical CEO out there. And the dude has that company running like a machine. Cash flow like no one else.
