All those hours spent on that tiny screw game is finally going to pay off!
The more I think about it doesn't trump just want to raise taxes without explicitly raising taxes.
*Raise taxes on poor people. The billionaires can easily just fly to Europe for a shopping spree attached to their regular weekend jaunt and bring everything home in their luggage (if they cared about the prices of anything to begin with, that is).
I oppose tariffs, but I'm also somewhat indifferent to the fortunes of Apple.
"Trump says..." A load of fucking bollocks, to be frank. You can rest assured what he says is the opposite of reality. He's a pathological liar.

We need to keep in mind that businesses like Apple are already charging the most they think customers are willing to pay.
Tariffs will hurt their bottom line by causing them to lose more in sales than they can make up for by raising unit prices.
