Tim Apple could just buy him a fucking plane and be done with it. And that would open up some interesting opportunities, nahmean?
It’s what I’d do if I were an ambitious, resource hoarding, ass pimple billionaire.
It’s obvious the way to Trump’s heart is to tell him he’s pretty and give him something .
Yeah make him a custom iPhone with a unibody out of pure gold?
Trump has become schizophrenic again.
Trump has a lot that seems might be wrong with him, but schizophrenia never really seemed to be on the list. Narcissism, dementia, psycho-/socio-pathy, compulsive lying, and possibly more, but I’ve never gotten the feeling he displayed the hyperpatternicity I associate with schizophrenia.
Honestly he sounds like just about every old man I’ve ever met, rambling on about whatever nonsense is running through his head at any given moment.
That’s unfortunate. Most octogenarians I’ve met are far more thoughtful and kind than Trump has ever been.
Sigh…at least Apple is getting screwed over though. They’ve been impeding right to repair for a long time, perhaps their karmic debt is finally catching up to them.
nah they just need to survive the storm for a yeas and a half and start funding dems house races. far cheaper than allowing you to repair your device.
4 more years of this comedy over there, im laughing too much already! xD

Better to laugh with its stupidity than to cry for it
i understand you and know how his actions affect the world and thats not good. still im not affected yet, so i can still laugh. xD (inbefore next month when the oil gets more expensive.)
In a recession with lower demand and everyone hunkering down oil prices probably decline.
Interestingly, I don’t think that’s going to happen. OPEC could decide to ramp up production if USA lowers theirs. Demand for oil isn’t rising the way it used to due to alternatives not only becoming viable but actually cheaper as well.
yea, probably so
OPEC will reduce production if the price of oil goes too low.
It is kinda funny watching the American Exceptionalism finally crumble before our eyes. Shame most Americans aren’t reflective enough to realise what’s happening.
This 100%. You’re getting downvoted but I don’t think Americans realize how irritating their fellow countrymen can be on the internet and in person to non Americans. There’s also the defaultism as if everyone is American (or wants to be American) which gets REALLY tiring after a while
American exceptionalism is the belief that word special, for good or bad. It’s just pouring on a different kind of Americans exceptionalists, the one who think our trajectory is something new.
Also, we do. A lot of us do…
Hysst. Let me enjoy my schadenfreude till the stench reaches here.
Its extremely funny seeing idiot Americans who voted (and those who didnt vote at all) for a 34 count rapist felon, seditionous traitor and then protest by holding little signs and wearing pink jackets.
You guys only use your 2nd amendment rights in schools against children. America is a circus and Americans are the clowns.

Adding up the people who didn’t vote to the people that voted for the orange one, it’s more like 65% of USAmericans are like that
I wish I could argue with this.
The people who go out and protest are very likely people who voted, and not for him.
are you going to keep laughing when he extorts another world leader of a country Russia is invading? Or helps finish off palestine for good?
it effects the entire world pal, just cause its not visibly right outside your front door doesnt mean youre above it
also, being smug is a shitty look
Thank you for your attention to this matter
Let’s not armchair diagnose people, please.
I think you suffer from anti armchair diagnosis.
Armchair Derangement Syndrome. It’ll be in the DRM-3000, the biggest and best book by the bestest doctors who have spent decades researching the woke mind virus. It’ll also cover things like “Fluoride Delusion Disorder” - the belief that fluoride in public water isn’t a government brainwashing program.
This is the dumbest comment I’ve read all day but I’ve been chuckling about it for a good couple of minutes.
It’s always disappointing to see how much people on here hate people with mental disabilities. Under no circumstances would anyone be OK with comparing Donald Trump to another minority. I think even insulting him by calling him fat is perceived as too gauche. But ableism? 100% OK by most of Lemmy.
I think most people on here are frustrated with the “sanewashing” by most media outlets.
The drumbeat of “ableism” is more of a bell ringing to make sure that people understand that Krasnov is very unwell and seriously unfit for any decision making position.
Wanting someone with disastrous mental health issues to not be capable of launching a nuclear strike isn’t ableism.
Would you loan a gun to a friend who’s been really depressed lately? According to you, you should.
They don’t hate people with disabilities, they just don’t want them to be President.
That’s ableist though. Implies disabled people are inherently inferior if you don’t want them to be president.
Roosvelt was in a wheelchair much of his time and he did “fine”.
(Technically I’m against the idea of politicians at all so don’t feel like glorifying them).

We’re not talking about “disabled people”, we’re talking about people with mental illness that impairs them.
Roosvelt was in a wheelchair much of his time and he did “fine”.
Physical disability is absolutely not be the same thing. Would you vote fuckin Ted Bundy for President?
Technically I’m against the idea of politicians at all
Okay so just complete anarchy then? Everyone for themselves?

Lol, is this your first time encountering an anarchist?
No I’m just in complete shock that they exist every time. It’s like coming across a flat-earther.
Airline pilots and train drivers must be passed as mentally fit before they’re allowed to control the destiny of a few thousand people.
Perhaps at least that much care could be taken with the job that holds the ability to launch nuclear weapons.
I had a co-worker who said he didn’t want a woman to be president because “she’d start a war every month.” I guess he’s not really misogynist like I thought.
Yeah I don’t like the sort of sanism it often implies.
Let’s. And don’t tell us what to do.
You’re right. There’s absolutely no evidence of Trump being not of sound mind.
Lmfao
I think I will. Thanks for your input though.
infighting in america. im lovin it!
infighting will lead to outfighting, you won’t be lovin that.
When the USA has no more industry, education, science, healthcare or employment and its people are dying younger and younger from preventable diseases it chose not to prevent, thousands of homeless pox-ridden Americans can watch Trump’s military parade destroy the streets of Washington DC and know that America is great again, before they are rounded up and sent to the camps. But at least they’ll have food there.
Yum, Soylent green.
Surprise!
There actually isn’t any food there.
Also wont matter because 50% of the population would have to go to war, if he keeps this up.
All those hours spent on that tiny screw game is finally going to pay off!
tiny screw game
how do you know what I call sex?
Everyone talks about it behind your back. Sorry.
I wonder if he knows apple simply can not comply with this. Apple doesn’t know how to make iPhones (at the scale and rate needed) and no one in the US does either.
RIP
Well, technically, any kind of tariff added to the import is always paid by Apple, who else would pay it? Some unrelated company? A foreign country?
They will simply increase the price by an amount that will keep them making the same amount of money. The main problem is that because they like to do a round price worldwide, we European we’ll pay more too, so they can make more money. Assholes
Then don’t buy it duh.
If Apple can push the price further into the thousands won’t Samsung, etc follow anyway?
People thought a phone that was $1000 would never sell, Apple came out with the pro models and now here we are with the high end models all being a thousand plus.
Yup non tarrifed goods go up too
The down voters don’t appear to agree 😂
Don’t buy Apple. Problem solved. I will not accept arguments about ‘but the eco-system blah-blah’
Sticks Fingers in ears lalalalalala
We can always respond with our money and not buy an iPhone
An extra 25% must be paid by consumers. Like every other tariff. New taxes be like that.
And knowing the cult of Apple, they’ll pay it because it makes them look wealthy. That is the whole culture of Apple Customer base.
'What’s up, everybody? This is your boy Apple Lad, and I came through with one of those Tariff I Phones, just so I can unbox it for you!
What a fucking idiot
It’s coming true.
Made in India + 25% tariff is still cheaper than made in Murica.
That BS is just for media.
Tbf the labor will be done by the minorities and undesirables they will keep throwing in prison without due process
along with the poor white folk who voted for him.
That sounds like a nice mix where nothing terrible could happen. Tons of black and brown people surrounded by the poor white rural idiots that disenfranchised both of their lives.
Finally something Lemmy users can get behind since they hate Apple so much.
iPhones not iPhone’s… Who let this idiot be in charge of anybody? Did he even go to school?
& Just that entire sentence is atrociously bad
Thank your for your attention to this matter!€
LMFAO it’s the entire fucking tweet!! Thank your for your… omg you are the president of the united states get grammarly or something…you sound even dumber than the people who voted for you…
Good fuck apple they probably donated to trump
This won’t hurt apple one bit. They will pass the cost on t to American consumers. This is a 25% tax on everyday Americans to pay for the billions of dollars of tax cuts for the rich.
They did, or at least Tim Cook did.
This is what you get for bending down to the tyrant in inauguration day. You cant appease tyrants, you must fight them.
Once again. Companies do NOT pay tariffs. They pass on those costs of those tariffs to their customers. YOU are gonna pay that extra 25% not Apple.
that’s fine. iphones are so cheap, people can handle even 50% tariffs. apple is worth every penny /s.
going to buy a cmf phone 2 now…
Yeah. I’m typing this on a $300 Chinese phone with 10600mAH battery, reverse wireless charging, a thermal imaging camera, and it’s waterproof and shock resistant.
I have strongly considered the Armor line. Which is what I’m assuming you’re talking about
It’s 27T Pro. I like it better than the iPhone it replaced.
The only downsides I’ve seen so far are that it requires a separate app for wifi calling and it has fewer zoom options for the camera. I’d like to figure out how to get the IR blaster to read signals (so I can easily clone my remotes).
Is it only tariff costs that are passed on to employees and customers or are all corporate tax costs passed on to employees and customers?
At the end of the day it’s all of it. Some of it is built into their existing model, some of it is constant etc but they include it all in the calculations to come up with the prices. New costs like these tariffs get added to the overall margin calculation and a new price is set.
It’s extremely misleading to say “companies do not pay tariffs” and then immediately explain that companies do indeed pay tariffs.
Still there is another side of it that also interesting. These companies has done their calculations so the cost of the product is perfect. Increasing that price means less people will buy the product.
how long is it going to take, before you realize its too late? if they didn’t realize by now, they aren’t going to
Trump will never ever admit he’s wrong, but I’m curious how the voters will react when everything costs 50% more all of a sudden.
They’ll probably blame Biden somehow, but I’m curious still
He’s already called all the stock market turmoil “Biden’s market”, hilariously.
Unless the companies eat the tariffs. But greedy companies will pass them on
Failed business man telling people how to run their businesses. I’ve got an idea about how to make American manufacturing cheaper universal healthcare.
