Apple’s playbook for avoiding tariffs appears to track closely with its strategy during the first Trump administration, when it allowed the president to take credit for a plant that had been making Mac computers in Texas for at least three years before he took office. Like other products Apple makes in the United States or says it intends to, the Mac made in Texas is not one of its mainstream models. Apple’s key revenue-generating products like the iPhone are all still manufactured outside of the country.
Let the stroking of the ego and micro penis begin. Progressives and Democrats would be wise to track the actual investments and hammer corporations when they dint follow through.
Important note that it’s said to be an acceleration of existing plans, not bending the knee to the orange man. But they’ll let him take credit because Tim Cook is a savvy businessman.
