Have they tried giving Trump ANOTHER Million dollars? Maybe a BILLION dollars? I Don't Know the Current Price for our Non Corrupt Administration!

What could have protected Apple other than a reasonable trade policy or a specific exemption? I don't think Trump would have done either for anyone.

Unless they swear fealty and pay him

No, I don't think that would have worked. Many did and it didn't work. These tariffs are Trump's pet project - he's not going to compromise on them easily.

Haven’t paid enough and haven’t kneeled hard enough yet.

No one except the top fascist wins in fascism. Literally anyone who has read history can tell you that.

Famously even fascists don't win forever.

Maybe they didn’t kneel hard enough?

Too bad for poor Tim Apple

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Tim Cook sold Apple’s principles for safety and now he has neither.

No one could have seen this coming. Especially not the people that warned this is exactly what would happen.
