In the latest episode of presidential drama, Donald Trump is back with another threat that’s sure to make Silicon Valley collectively roll its eyes. 🙄

The iPhone Ultimatum

Apple’s just trying to do business, but Trump’s decided to play hardball. His latest genius move? Threatening Apple with a whopping 25% tariff if they don’t move iPhone production back to the good ol’ US of A. Because apparently, global supply chains are as simple as ordering takeout.

Global Manufacturing Chess

Here’s the tea: Apple’s been quietly diversifying its production, with India becoming a key player in manufacturing. FoxConn is even dropping $1.5 billion on a new plant in Chennai. Trump’s response? Classic Trump - wave around tariffs like they’re a magic wand that’ll suddenly bring manufacturing jobs back home.

The Harsh Reality

But let’s be real. A “Made in America” iPhone is about as likely as affordable Bay Area housing. Steve Jobs himself once told Barack Obama that those jobs aren’t coming back. The tech world has moved on, but it seems someone hasn’t gotten the memo.

In true tech industry fashion, Apple’s just gonna keep doing its thing, tariffs or not. Because when it comes to global manufacturing, presidential tantrums are just background noise.
