No specifics? Of course, it's all just more nonsense talk.

Sometimes I just wish he'd shut his pie hole. Just for a day.

Donal Trump says he will force Apple to build its "computers and things" in the United States

Good. San Fransisco Liberals need more problems with Union Labor.

They deserve it. Make them live up to their own rules, right?

No, let him spew. He'll eventually piss off everyone here since he just talks off the top of his head and he has absolutely NO Core values.

None.

It'll all come out.

...although factors like incentives and tax breaks for the company could be offered...the main trouble with Trump's cure-all of manipulating taxes on companies and other countries to get them to comply with his plans is that he does not have unilateral taxing power - it's up to Congress, particularly the House, to come up with revenue-raising measures such as taxes according to the Constitution - come to think of it, maybe Trump's main trouble is that he was to become better acquainted with the Constitution.....

At one time during speech, he made a deep breath.
Create a new topic.

Isn’t this the same thing as telling companies they can’t move? Make America great again and they won’t have to!

I turn him off. Heard enough to last a lifetime already.
No, he isn’t planning on being king/s.

Devil is in the details. So how does Trump propose to make this “force” happen? Carrot or Stick?

No specifics?

Yes, there were. He promises the use of force to take control of private property. That's fascism.

Of course, it's all just more nonsense talk.

And if elected they'll just be nonsense executive orders. Right?

Trump has no comprehension for the Constitution, it's purpose, or its operating principles.

He is a staggering idiot. The mfg jobs in Asia are low-skill, low-pay. Apple is a juggernaut at creation of jobs in the US and these are largely high-skill, high-pay. Here are a few numbers that Apple put out one year ago; these have been criticized by some as overly optimistic. Even if you cut them, 50%, it is still amazing job creation.

January 8, 2015
Number to the jobs it has created or supported in U.S: 1.03 million.
Applications designed for Apple’s smartphones and tablets have helped create more than 627,000 U.S. jobs.
334,000 jobs have resulted from its spending and growth.
66,000 people work directly for the company in the U.S.
“...an entire industry has been built around app design and development.” In 2013, customers spent more than $10 billion in the App Store
Tim Cook has worked in the past few years to boost U.S. manufacturing and open domestic data centers. Apple invested more than $100 million to begin Mac Pro assembly in Austin, Texas.
Apple has 265 retail stores in 44 states with a total of 30,000 employees [2014]. That’s compared with 250 stores and 26,000 retail workers in 2012.
It has 8,000 U.S.-based suppliers with materials coming from 31 states.
It spent more than $3 billion with U.S. suppliers running small or diverse businesses last year.
The last time Apple released its estimate for job creation, in 2012, it pegged the number at 598,500 in the U.S. The company reported having 50,250 U.S. jobs at the time.

I could see Trump really fouling everything up with his huge ego.

If Trump were serious about this he would be talking about how to create the conditions in this country where companies want to bring their manufacturing here.

That’s how it’s done.

Not by threats or force. If he tries to force them these companies will simply leave the country entirely.

I do believe he did NOT say ‘force’, he said ‘get’ Apple to build in the US. That means we make America a place Apple WANTS to build their products. Or we slap a big ass tariff on products made in China. Their choice.
