Doesn't waste any time, does he?

But where will Apple find American employees who will work themselves to death?

Tim Cook could build iphones in his home state of Alabama and solve a hell of a lot of social problems there.

But since he’s an anti-American oddball with an axe to grind against white heterosexuals (his alleged kin), he won’t.

Unless forced.

PS - a quick analysis of iphone costs shows that the price might be about $30 higher when made in the U.S.

Really not a concern...unless you just really need that extra billion for executive bonuses.

Trump may be all talk, he may not follow through, but I sure like the way he talks.

Let’s see how this goes down...

[Lazamataz]

Nope. Still not tired of winning.

So Dems, do you want to be the senators that enabled Apple to move here or the ones that said no?

[keving]

Just got religion. Sounds like Trumpism

[Will88]

Trump also said he’s working on Carrier to not move their A/C plant to Mexico, and that he thinks he making some progress.

[Billthedrill]

Wait - lower taxes, encourage business?

That's crazy talk.

[SaxxonWoods]

Business.

How does it work?

[Gen.Blather]

What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If you lower it for one then lower it for all. Taxes distort business decisions.

One of the things Trump is naive on, is the fact that of all the computer companies making products, Apple already has large plants in the USA making components for their products and even building whole computers, and other plants in North Carolina and elsewhere. Here in the SF Bay Area, and in Austin Texas one can find Apple making chips and computers among other things. The same cannot be said for others. And Apple is already moving more production here, long before the message from Trump. With tax cut incentives, it will put Apple in a position for even more growth. At least Trump is focusing on an American company, and not foreign companies like Samsung or Lenovo.

A recent WSJ article I saw said that Apple has over 300,000 employees in China. That's a lot of Social Security, Medicare Tax, US Federal and State Income Taxes, and related economic potential that is not in this country.

Just like you have to wonder why we buy oil from people who hate us and want to kill us, why do we buy cell phones from people who want to bug our phones, gain secrets etc? American companies who want to sell to American customers should pay Americans to build their stuff.

Trump talks to Apple about making its products in the US, promises huge tax cuts for bringing jobs home. Also talking about bringing Apple's cash cache home from off shore to be able to invest it in the US. — PING!

Did Obama try anything like this even a SINGLE time during his 8 years? Obama could give a damn about American jobs.

[Mount Athos]

I could be wrong, but I can’t help thinking Tim Cook would be happy to sacrifice the best interest of Apple shareholders to hurt Trump
