Trump will raise tariff rates on Chinese goods in response to trade war retaliation

Then 2-3 % is chinas markup

Or are they making the phones for absolutely no profit for themselves?

If so why would any capitalist do that?

 

no

The US wants to be rich but we never sought an empire

China wants total control of the world in every respect

 

If Apple only shifts manufacturing from china to other poor countries thats better than enriching the chinese economy

But we can require foreigner companies to produce in America if they want to sell here

 

Sorry, but I’m not playing you game

 

No, you are.

 

Can't figure it out, huh?
Figures.
Just ask if you want the answer.

 

Now you are projecting - "Projection is a psychological defense mechanism in which individuals attribute characteristics they find unacceptable in themselves to another person"

You are the one that despises the the principles of republicanism - as has been pointed out a number of times - as does your hero Trump.
You did not even know what some of these principles were until you started coming here and were "enlightened"

I do object to your spouting meaningless gibberish labels what does "globalist free trader" even mean ? Perhaps I might fit that label if I knew what you meant by it. The fact of the matter is that this is your way of avoiding the reality that Trump's turds may not smell so good after all.

Then after your name calling temper tantrum - you blubber out some stuff about China being a threat to the US - as if this has something to do with Trumps major blunders on the geopolitical stage - blunders which are helping China and hurting the US - blunders that you are desperate support but have nothing but name calling and projection.

It is you that seems not to care about the threats to the nation - so why are you pretending otherwise - and projecting your issues on to me ?

I was glad Trump won - and one of the reasons was so I would not have to be tortured by having to listen to that condescending arrogant tone and personality akin to nails on the chalkboard personality but this has nothing to do Trumps blunders ?

I get that you are done with this topic but, get a grip Mac - your losing it.

 

You are beyond lost Mac. We are talking about Iphones. Apple is not a Chinese Company. It is a US company which manufactures its product in China. China does not get any of the profit from the mark-up on an Iphone ... Zero.
