“And Trump says he will force Apple to make the iPhone in the US. Trump really doesn’t get it”.

Yeah, its better to use overseas slave labor camps so we can save $20 Bucks on a phone, and some greedy Billionaire can add to his fortune.

As opposed to the alternative, which is to give welfare to factory workers and bill it all back to the rest of the taxpayers and consumers? There is no difference between that and them just signing up for welfare as it is, except that the factory workers feel better about themselves while the rest of us take it in the rear again.

More like $4,000. Don't get me wrong - those conditions in the pictures are not bad and I would bet much better than they had in rural China. My point is the infrastructure in place to build the iPhone would take years and billions to replicate. All that Trump is proposing with his tariffs is to increase the cost of goods.

We need a president who will reduce regulations and taxes to make US manufacturing more competitive.
