Apple has minimal manufacturing in Mexico. They've used some suppliers in Mexico to make some parts. But yeah, like 95% of the manufacturing takes place in Asia.

This puts Tim Cook in the hot seat regardless. If he didn't say this to Trump, somebody needs to put a microphone in this guy's face now.

It’s not in AAPL’s interest for Cook to endorse nor refute Trump. We’ll get a press release like “Apple products are proudly Designed In America, and we are continuously looking at ways to improve the global network of manufacturers and suppliers who produce our great products” or whatever

The lies are like Baghdad Bob- so ridiculous. His Numbers are poor - And he says yesterday that his numbers are the highest ever recorded. JFC.

#Apple does not have significant manufacturing operations in Mexico. #Foxconn, a major Apple supplier, has substantial operations in #Mexico and is expanding its business there.

The president said this, the president said that, all just endlessly delivered as fact

I feel like America has always been this way. The Soviet Union example just serves the delusion of American exceptionalism.

We were never better than them. Just f'd up in different ways. The papers just lie in favor of corpos instead of the state.

psychotrip.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Lol except I guess they're now lying for the state as well, huh?
