Narrator: iPhone production will not be coming to the U.S.

Lutnick: "The army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws to make iPhones -- that kind of thing is going to come to America."

I'm sure tons of americans would be thrilled to work for $2/h 🤣

bigcountryfooty.bsky.social•53 days ago

Are they going to ban automation as well? Robots need love too.

tima1962.bsky.social•53 days ago

He’s an asshole just like most billionaires!

mbandman.bsky.social•53 days ago

Not with 145% tariffs on the components 😏

digitmusic.bsky.social•52 days ago

…until robotics are cheaper than slave labor.

But how will our 9-year-olds make a living?

But it sounds like such a fun job! 😖 the gall of that man is disgusting!

neeeceee.bsky.social•52 days ago

Idiot! Completely out of touch and just so dumb!!!

gastropoda.bsky.social•53 days ago

Guess coal mines are gonna have to pick up the slack.

krazy1.bsky.social•53 days ago

No, no it’s not.

casiwu.bsky.social•53 days ago

Why does he keep talking about iPhone screws? Pretty sure Americans don't want the jobs he is describing. Immigrants would do it but they will all be in El Salvador.

bklynnative.bsky.social•53 days ago

Who will tell him?

jancjan.bsky.social•53 days ago

Never was. He and his boss just received a lesson in how big business deals with him and his boss. The two of em don't know a damn thing about Tarrifs or how their own country works or for that matter how treasurery bonds work. You know the ones that China, Japan, Canada, and the EU bought.

mackeriver.bsky.social•52 days ago

Well no one can argue that the Trump administration hasn’t brought a lot of loose screws along with it.

kimkappes.bsky.social•52 days ago

With the instability of this administration, I’m betting little to no manufacturing will return.

bobwelch.bsky.social•53 days ago

Coming to US cities, suicide prevention nets.

marty17.bsky.social•53 days ago

Lying asshole

calleycat.bsky.social•53 days ago

Because this would be productive use of people with knowledge and skills.
P.S. my cell phone has no screws.

rwfolsom.bsky.social•53 days ago

Lying about it doesn’t make it so

feder122.bsky.social•53 days ago

What? No “whomp whomp”?

davey1964.bsky.social•53 days ago

No it’s not

adventurer27.bsky.social•53 days ago

Sure moron.

biggysmalls.bsky.social•53 days ago

It’s insane to think that our next generation will be fine just working in factories. So only trade schools?

jaymegale.bsky.social•53 days ago

Anyone tell Howard yet? He's going to be so disappointed.

twizzlerp.bsky.social•52 days ago

It’s almost like everything we need to make everything isn’t all available in one spot…

lostinthewoods1953.bsky.social•53 days ago

If we make any of that crap here, they won't be able to make their 200 percent profit on it.

concernedgaming.bsky.social•53 days ago

If they do, the components are still tariffed and the cost of labour would be 10X so the Iphone would probably cost closer to 5000 dollars

trispw.bsky.social•52 days ago

And will Americans work 60 hour weeks?

jeremybender.bsky.social•52 days ago

Apparently, Nutlick doesn't understand comparative advantage.

crashinator.bsky.social•53 days ago

His nose. 🤣

drrug.bsky.social•53 days ago

These Paw Patrols plastic toys will though, and this is a big win for America sovereignty and security.

nepa22.bsky.social•52 days ago

I am not even sure where to go with such a dumb statement! “Millions and millions of people” this is not going to happen! The initial cost to stand up a manufacturing plant is enormous and takes months/years. Not to mention the ongoing costs!
Phones prices will triple.

polititakes.bsky.social•52 days ago

He is a liar like the rest of them.

prodemocracypastor.bsky.social•53 days ago

High school grads, you heard it here first. Textile jobs are coming your way!

quisait.bsky.social•53 days ago

Does he hear what he is saying? That is so stupid! Trump chose those idiots to make America rich again.

readingwarrior.bsky.social•52 days ago

Because, at $3K each, demand will drop, profit will decline, and share-price will drop. That is unless an EO suspends the wage and hour act. It would be an honor to make 20 cents an hour making iPhones.

Lutnick has a number of loose screws. I'm glad to see his dumb ideas get shot down so often.

tlgibson.bsky.social•53 days ago

Countries can benefit from global trade by access to raw materials, lower labour rates and currency differentials. Making certain products in 🇺🇸 will exponentially ⬆️ the cost. Further, countries where those goods are consumed deserve to share in the job market created by those goods.

nitram22.bsky.social•52 days ago

It’s probably automated already.

hortgirl0791.bsky.social•53 days ago

Why not?! Isn’t this the path to make America great again and be made in America?

neko83.bsky.social•52 days ago

Not to mention that he said millions of those jobs will be coming back, but it will be automated?!?!

batminton.bsky.social•53 days ago

No shit Sherlock!

mattsteg.bsky.social•53 days ago

We'll always have our big beautiful beef.

ianausbrit.bsky.social•52 days ago

Slavery, by any standard.

orobharris.bsky.social•53 days ago

I keep seeing this and think- if Trump had said this it would have been a one day story. Lesson: if you’re going to say things completely gonzo do it 2 or 3 times a day over and over again

sandandsea.bsky.social•52 days ago

The US minimum wage will render this completely uneconomic.

Unless the US minimum wage is next on the DOGE agenda…

magnacarta2024.bsky.social•52 days ago

Even if by some miracle it did, the production is mostly automated and won’t create manufacturing jobs. This plan is pure fantasy.

coloneltompeeping.bsky.social•53 days ago

But...but...I've already bought a tiny screwdriver so I'd be ready for the opportunity.

merfyfinn.bsky.social•53 days ago

Get one the size of trumps

traderpadawan.bsky.social•52 days ago

That was quick

trispw.bsky.social•52 days ago

I guess it just occurred to him...

ilovedmyjobpj.bsky.social•53 days ago

So, stop your pipe dreams about screwing in tiny screws into iPhones for minimum wage.

mar51.bsky.social•53 days ago

That m’effer keeps putting the screws to us. Let’s see him assemble these phones!

plankowner996.bsky.social•53 days ago

Lutnic You are so full of shit

pink2233.bsky.social•52 days ago

Idiot😡. How bout he screw that krapt in himself all I heard was a bunch of bs aka slave labor. My kids aren't in college to be rich people slaves. Everytime he talks he state something stupid. These people had to have gotten rich by stealing cause it sure wasn't knowledge 😒
