Tim Cook seemed the least pandering.
47 had a bad idea turned into a horrible plan and his loyalists clap like trained seals as a lot of long time, disciplined investing is wiped away.
NO Bessent the world economy does NOT need to relax this is BAD
If Apple thinks I’m going to consider still buying their products with the cost of a new phone tariffed at over three grand. I have news for them and their beloved Trump. I’m out.
You can't make deals and curry favours with convicted felons. They are simply not trustworthy. What did Cook think was going to happen? 😂 I don't think he's stupid, naive then?
I think “announcing investment” is bullshit. Remember during the first Trump administration the Chinese company Foxconn was going to build a huge manufacturing plant in the US?
Tim Cook should resign and be forced to start something from scratch, like an Aguas Frescas stand. He had an opportunity to THINK DIFFERENT, and caved. Bitch.
It was a just a couple of months ago that Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan said CEOs were dancing in the streets because of Trump’s re-election. So no sympathy for them, plenty for the employees facing layoffs.
They definitely can be that stupid. We (humans) give wealthy people a big benefit of the doubt, that if they're wealthy they must be smart, but ... nah. Luck & opportunity & timing account for a lot of it -- all of it in some cases.
I guess I assumed the CEO of a major corporation would know economics better than me. I got a D in that class. I’ve always known trump was not worthy of sharing the air on this planet. 😡
I have heard some really ignorant stuff on history, general knowledge, and geography from fortune 500 CEOs. They may know how to count money, and do fraud well.
Anyone dumb enough to think the rapist pathological liar, sociopath, moron, can be calmed by agreeing to pay the grift to the mafia boss is a fool.
No matter whatever you give Trump he will always ask for more and with the Supreme Court get out of jail card, his appetite will not be satiated.
FOOLS.
If only extremely intelligent Business Thought Leaders could have had any way of having any forewarning whatsoever about the entirely unknown and unpredictable factors leading up to this moment. Oh well. Just no predicting some things!
Trump Media (DJT) stock has been extending its losses fsince Wednesday when it filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to allow a trust headed by Trump to sell $2.15 billion worth of stock. Trump will be bailing from his DJT stock holding and will leave his MAGA cult investors dry.
Mega Tec oligarchy r taking the US down with it. They thought sucking up to Pinocchio would help their business. HE DOESNT CARE ABOUT ANYONE OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN PUTIN!
WHY HASNT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER ON THE NASDAQ AND DOW TRIGGERED!!!
And the idiots thought that appeasement would last? Pay up billions more and Trump will give Apple, and others, another temporary exemption. Until Trump demands even more.
Great Britain probably. Given that Trump is working item by item through the complaints in the Declaration of Independence, the logical endpoint would be to go back to the status of colonies of the British crown.
Let's see. As much as I like to make fun of the US, fascism here in Germany is probably two years or fewer away, and these modern Nazis would be strangely okay with Germany being a Russian province. But Putin might allow us to keep our traditional Sauerkraut if nothing else.
You in the US have fascism but also a vocal resistance. We have democracy no-one wants to protect. And now old men who got wealthy in peace want to send to war young people who grew up during Covid. Why on earth should they want to die for a system that largely excludes them. This will not work out.
Tim Apple showing great business acumen in thinking the leopard wouldn't eat his face too. Hey Tim you know they hate LGBTQ people too.? He's going to give all the AI stuff to Zuck, not Apple, because he's easiest to control.
So, hopefully, we're done with the idea that all the inhumane decisions CEOs make have anything to do with what's profitable. In reality they don't know what's optimal for profit, it's all arbitrary based on personal political views.
Tech industry leaders were in the can for Trump the entire 2024 election cycle.
They WANTED Trump back because they were worried about how Lina Khan was actually trying to enforce the law and protect consumers against their rent seeking bullshit.
They wanted the mask off fascist. They got the mask off fascist. The boards of all of these companies should fire their CEOs for their shortsightedness, but I'm sure workers will suffer with even more layoffs instead.
Tim Cook is doing what I am doing when I‘m in the supermarket with my kid: doling out empty promises about stuff we have at home to keep him from going apeshit. Cook did it during the first term.
So that means Apple will be proprietary brand when halfway thru the incoming market crash eveyone must accept crypto/digitsl “money” and cash will be illegal
How much is Apple gonna have to pay to import all the steel and materials needed to build factories and chips and devices etc. Gonna be wayyyyyyy more than 500 billion 😂😂😂
-Labor indicators are down due to massive federal worker layoffs
-Food and construction prices are up due to a shortage of migrant labor due to Trump deportations.
-Treasury department is estimated to collect 500 Billion LESS thanks to Trump Dodge cuts.
MAGA: the stock market would be doing better if stupid liberal would believe Trump and that tariffs are a good thing. It’s their fault. This is Bidenomics.
If Trump is invested in the hedge funds that are betting against the economy & just raked in billions this would be illegal right? Only the 999,999,999 crime he’s committed, but how do we find out?
Apple embodies that American optimism! Bribery. Ya!! Oh wait. I thought these folks were smart. They actually believed a virulent narcissist with zero integrity or loyalty. You've been extorted dudes and it's not about to stop.
Companies and billionaires probably should have just invested in Kamala and paid the additional taxes. Probably will be less losses with longer term gains. By the end of all this will they even be around in 2 years?
History will not look kindly on them. I only hope they go bankrupt financially (already there morally). Boycott whoever you can, whenever you can,. And protest, protest, protest. Join me April 5 for Hands Off events: https://handsoff2025.com/

They didn't announce $500b in investment. They announced they would SPEND $500b in the US during the next 4 years. Very little of that is "investment." Their entire annual capex is only $10b. And they made a similar announcement at the beginning of the Biden administration.
So now it's cheaper for the company owners to buy back stock, while keeping theirs for when this shit show ends and they will become a lot richer. While the "peasants" will get poorer.

bro was an ass but would’ve HATED Trump 100%

They were in trouble before all this crap started. Now they're in freefall.
That’s what Trump “Loyalists” DESERVE.

It's over for our economic power and wealth.
Good luck not following our path 🤞
y'all had this tory dbag in charge.
disaster, too
But then I think... that won't do anything. So instead I want to know how to file a shareholder motion to censure him for his blatant bribes.

Are you fucking serious???

This is all before the #Trumptariffs
The line going down is a good thing, right?
This is a company that hires certified GENIUSES to be tech support in their stores, so this must be a positive thing, right?
