Do you have a copy of the order? Does it indeed say for Apple to produce a "tool" to break into the phone? Or does it say to "open" or "unlock" this particular phone?

Word games. If the tool doesn't exist (as Apple says it doesn't), then the court is ordering them to make one... and Trump is cheerleading the order.

Word games is right. Saying a tool doesn't exist says nothing of how easy it would be to make one.

I occasionally have to make my own tools for special purposes. Sometimes I can do it pretty quick and with little effort.

I guess Apple will get to argue the difficulty of it in court.
