$3,500 iPhones?

He got illegal crossing down to like 1% of what it was under Biden, and no new democrat legislation was forced down our throats. He just reinstated the policies previously in place and a the number of illegal crossings dropped like a stone.

He has managed to isolate China and most other countries around the world know it. A game was played simply to go thru the motions of isolating them.

DOGE is identifying fraud, waste and abuse of the tax payer everyday. Billions or maybe even a trillion/year will be saved long term. Running things with common sense.

Unlike the last administration, whose sole action to every problem was to drop money from the sky on every problem , or implement "social justice" to anger the population through crazy policies, this administration governs well.

Unlike democrats, they don't just campaign well. They actually run things well. This is what the democrat party was before the elites took over.


America chose well. Have a splendid day!

These are the values of minority of people. You won't win another election if these are the values that you treasure above all. 3500 iphones won't be a dealbreaker. There are and will be alternatives, people buy second hand and people will stop buying iPhones if they are only good for 3 years before they become clunkers. Competitors will swoop in like they always do. Good luck.

You all won the last election mostly by crying about inflation and this is your take? Hilarious. Not to mention it would take a decade - not 90 days - to actually start manufacturing iPhones here.

Is Apple just going to sit on the side lines with their fingers crossed trying to find the next demented president for four years? I mean it's going on ten years since Trump was elected in 2016. Where are the iPhones. Didn't they see the writing on the wall then. I feel it's kind of like the threat "If you don't give us visas, we'll just take the jobs overseas." Fine, get lost we don't need you anyway. Make room for the next company.

Why is Trump cutting taxes on Chinese commies?

Yes. I keep my phones for five years at least. I keep my cars for a long time, too.

Some of you are just dying for this to happen, aren’t you.

The MAGA sure are since they voted for all of this. They apparently do not want to keep their businesses in business. The paper straw guy is out of business or close to it. The soybean farmers lost their biggest customer--China. Seems not to be working out.

I hate all apple products and how they lock you in. Apple is like a dictator.

I do, too. Car companies want to do something similar by charging subscription prices for heated seats and other items.

Tariffs or no, the bolded has been an issue for me for a long time. Being environmentally conscious means nothing if we are dumping our tech devices so frequently. We buy the best products we can afford at the time and hold on to them for a long time. My car is old (20+ years), but has 120k miles, good mileage for a gas powered vehicle (32 mpg on highway, 27mpg locally), and still passes emissions and safety inspections with flying colors. Debatable whether recycling it and other cars every five years is better than holding onto this vehicle. Similar on electronic devices.

Not happy about tariffs but if it gets people to be more environmentally responsible, they will have some positive effect.

Driving 20 year old car is not good for the environment.

But putting a new car every four to five years into the dump is??? Even recycling the parts costs energy (hauling the parts, melting them down, etc.).

Better not to have a car at all. I am not there yet but would consider it.

A 20 year old car was built in 2005. It has essentially the same pollution controls and engine efficiency as a car made yesterday. You have zero clue WTH you’re babbling about.

I'm a different poster with a 20 yo car and agree. The car is not polluting the air and passes the emissions test every year.

I didn't upgrade from my iPhone 6s until last year. You don't need a new upgrade each year. iPhones can last at least 10 years.

Well, Dementia Don caved. I guess Lutnick was wrong when he said that Americans would be screwing tiny screws into phones. You know those peasant jobs aren’t going to MAGA after all.,
