Dilger on Trump’s iPhone tariff ‘warning’
November 28, 2018 by Steven M. PetersFound on the Twitter:
Trump didn’t “warn of new tariffs on iPhones.” A journalist asked the befuddled old man if he might consider it, solely to create sensational bullshit. $AAPL https://t.co/vU5Ke7enwG

My take: I thought I heard a threat. The Wall Street Journal ($) printed the answer, not the question:
He said the tariffs could also be placed on iPhones and laptops imported from China. The administration has been worried about a consumer reaction should such items be subject to levies.
“Maybe. Maybe. Depends on what the rate is,” the president said, referring to mobile phones and laptops. “I mean, I can make it 10%, and people could stand that very easily.”
