He'll back down. He's always backing down.

Must be some sort of adrenaline rush or something, threating big players. Then it wears off and everyone tries to explain he's being an idiot and eventually he backs down.

Edit: Don't forget the tariffs are paid for by ~~us~~ US consumers.

Trump seems to think Apple will pay his 25% tarrif and not pass it on to consumers. lol Really makes you wonder, doesnโ€™t it?

Iโ€™m pretty sure that theyโ€™re going to let consumers worldwide pay for it, though. That means that the price increase will be lower than expected for American consumers, subsidized by the rest of the world. Of course Iโ€™m not just talking about Apple here.
