Donald Trump says he'd make Apple manufacture products in the U.S.

Hopefully his products are also manufactured in the US because his products themselves are Made in China, Mexico and other countries.

Uh, Apple has one product assembled in the US. The Mac Pro.

I don't think Apple will be moving every product-line to be assembled in the US unless they are forced to.

I think Motorola tried making the 2013 Moto X in the US. Didn't work out too well, unfortunately, which was a shame to me, because it was pretty different from the other phones that are usually assembled in China or Vietnam.

Apple should have done the moral thing to begin with and have their whole product line manufactured in the United States. Why should it even take Trump to tell Apple they need to build their products here? Secondly, Apple should pay a tax if they want to build overseas. Money raised from that tax should be put aside for the victims of American outsourcing. And I wouldn't mind paying slightly extra for an American made iPhone, probably would cost at best an extra $25-30.

Simply put. He can't. Apple can build it's computer where it chooses. If it chooses to build them in Russia they can.

Oh. Apple is more than welcome in our country. Goodbye Trump. You're an *****.

Is he going to start making his ties in America?

I love Apple products, but the one point here that does make sense is that Apple charge such a premium for their products, that they could easily afford to manufacture them in the USA. Maybe I wouldn't feel so ashamed that the people in China that assembled my iPhone can't afford to own one themselves and are paid a pittance. Over and above this, Apple are the worst tax evaders in the business too.
Go Donald. Your show is awesome. Lol

All manufacturing should be outsourced to bring costs down.

Great idea and why not to many companies out source manufacturing overseas this is partly what happening in the uk with steel manufacturing and is killing our economy sure if you want to but I agree tax should be imposed

It's sad that a person with these views can get into power. Not just only does he tell you how to run your business, he would impose sanctions upon you if you didn't do it.

And how do you think they made those record profits (who, btw, are legally kept abroad for the most part)? This is just funny. So you suggest Apple uses their huge cash reserves to bank/buffer any rise in costs that would occur by repatriating their manufacturing process? Cause you cant really suggest that the price of the iPhone (which most US customers buy through subsidies anyway) skyrocket, or that US workers be paid the same as Foxcon employees, right?

You cant have your cake and eat it too. Loss of poorly qualified manufacturing jobs is just a result of the system you've been praising and living in. Which is fine with me, that's how the game goes. I accept it. But you gotta accept it too. You cant be chasing record profits and keep all sectors and workers happy. Smth's gotta give. And go explain that to Apple's (or any other big corporation's) shareholders. Those blue-chip stocks arent only owned by Carl Icahn and the likes, where do you think mutual fund and ETF giants invest pension fund money, upon which millions of American rely on for their retirement? CalPers does not hold the bulk of its assets in short derivatives, you know.

And Apple is just the tip of the iceberg. If this were to happen, the whole US way of life would crumble. The country, as rich as it is, relies on debt-fueled consumption. Loss of competitivity and reward of inefficiency are the last things you need.

About time, Apple can afford to produce their products here without adding noticeable cost to their product since Apple has been making record profits forever.

I'm trying to find where he said he would "make" Apple move their manufacturing. I don't like Trump, but the title shows a clear bias. I don't like Trump, you don't like Trump, but encouraging American jobs is a good thing for Americans.

He would go after everyone else. Apple is the headline catcher, but in reality there more or larger companies that are worst than Apple. Why not Auto Industry, like Ford and GM. Most domestic auto manufacturers use international content, or build many of cars in Canada or South America. Or other large manufacturers at have a larger stake in the United States economy. Why mess with Industrial complex or American Auto Manufacturers, When Apple makes better headlines.

Trump for Prez

You're giving Trump supporters too much credit for potentially noticing contradictions in his positions.

Such a moron (I had used the word 'idi_ot', but this site censors that word, odd... Trumpers?). He's an embarrassment to all of his middle-America-state supporters who consider butterballs with toothpicks to be butler-passed hors d'oeuvres.

His line of clothing is made in Mexico. Let him move his business to the US first.

Hey Chump, they already do. It's called the Mac Pro.

What an utter maniac. To even think that this clown has any chance of becoming the U.S president boggles the mind.
