Mike MitchellIt's bizarre that this is the shit trump ponders and acts on. Of all the things that the President of the United States should have on his plate, he's worried about one-upping Harvard.
He is a petty little man-tyrant.
Trump loves destroying anything American that the world considers outstanding. He wants to bring it down to his level. The world thinks to highly of Harvard, compares it to Cambridge. Trump can't have that. If they would change the name to "Trump", he would immediately back off.
He won't let anything American shine brighter than "TRUMP". He will throw mud on America's crown jewels. I think, if he can, he will try to diminish Apple, Amazon, Google, MicroSoft, Nvidia, Tesla, etc. He doesn't want those billionaires to out-shine him. Trump is a cunt, a narcissist, and his ego has to constantly be stroked. It's all part of Making America Great Again.
Harvard has survived a few English kings and a pile of presidents. This too, shall pass...

A 25% tariff (tax) on every iPhone not made in America, like Apple can snap their fingers and a manufacturing facility will magically appear in America.
Trump is just showing Tim Cook that Trump is more powerful and can hurt Apple. Apple has no choice but to pay the tax, and pass along what they can of it to us. Apple is an American crown jewel. An outstanding brand. Much greater than "Trump" can ever be. The orange turd hates that.
Trump isn't hurting our trade "enemies", He's hurting us. The true "bottom of dumb" hasn't been reached yet, but Trump will keep searching lower for it. He simply hates America's success that much.

What does Apple pay for an iPhone, $300? So a 25% tariff on that would be $75. How the hell can they justify raising the price at all?

So what do YOU think the invoice value of an iPhone is?

For hardware. I idly wonder what the amortized cost of software might be...
