Apple’s bizarre list, Trump’s clueless tweet

Trump’s China tariffs will raise the price of the Apple Watch, HomePod, AirPods, Trackpad, Pencil, adapters, chargers and cords. But not the iPhone.

From the White House:

Apple prices may increase because of the massive Tariffs we may be imposing on China – but there is an easy solution where there would be ZERO tax, and indeed a tax incentive. Make your products in the United States instead of China. Start building new plants now. Exciting! #MAGA

My take: I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: What Donald Trump doesn’t know about Apple’s supply chain could fill a stadium.
