  2. Cuz India said he didn’t broker the ceasefire, right?

    Tim Cook must be thinking you motherfucker made me consider it in the first place with the tariff bullshit

  4. This is more an Apple problem than an India one, but doubt trump can do much here. In this same press meet he has also said that India offered america a trade deal with 0 tariffs so he is going to try to claim another win very soon.

  5. What the fuck is this headline? It took me 2-3 repetitions of the first 5 or 6 words to figure out what the fuck it was trying to say because the context is at the goddamn end and there was no indication that it was a quote of any kind

  6. Trump is consistent in showing himself as jerk both as politician and as businessman…oh, wait, he is good at declaring bankruptcy on some of his businesses.

  10. In my high school econ class the first day they used no tariffs on iPhones as an example of something all economists universally agreed on and as an example of how to reason as an economist lol

  12. Funny thing is, Cook doesn’t have to listen to Trump.

    Unless, you know, there’s something suspicious going on, like corruption, insider trading or something… oops?

  13. I would like every free market republican from the bush/obama era to apolagize to me

  14. United States is experiencing political instability in real time.

  15. The thin line between late stage capitalism and shit-communism

  16. Guess India will have to bribe trump now with a billion or two

  17. I hope Tim told him something along the lines of, “Tough shit, you orange cunt.”

  18. Freedom and capitalism… isn’t that the literal Republican core values?

  19. From the article:

    “I had a little problem with Tim Cook yesterday. I said to him, my friend, I am treating you very good. You are coming up with $500 billion but now I hear you are building all over India. I don’t want you building in India. You can build in India, if you want to take care of India because India is one of the highest tariff nations in the world, so it is very hard to sell in India. They (India) have offered us a deal where basically they have agreed to charge us literally no tariffs. I said Tim, we are treating you really good, we put up with all the plants you built in China for years. We are not interested in you building in India. India can take care of themselves,” reported CNBC-TV18 about their conversation.

    Trump stating he really doesn’t want India to threaten the U.S. economy but also has mentioned he is in a working agreement with India on tariffs. Give and take.

  20. Because india denied his participation in the ceasefire right? What a grumpy old orangutan

  23. Said the idiot whose MAGA’s hat are made in China.

  24. This can’t have anything to do with the Chinese company buying a whole bunch of money laundering a Trump meme coins could it?

  26. Trump caved to China, and India took Trump’s side in the trade war; it had the potential to build a relationship with China. Then Trump said that America will import iPhones from India. India and Pakistan have a conflict. JD Vance said the conflict is none of America’s business. Trump announces a ceasefire. Pakistan gets an IMF loan, so the elite are happy. India is pissed and says trump has nothing to do with it. India announces steel tariffs, and I think Modi and Putin will meet? Trump gets a jet and a king’s welcome. Then tells Tim Cook he doesn’t want Apple to invest in India?
    He disrespected Zelenskyy and pissed off the EU.

    Great.

  27. How the fuck can China win again? Trump is practically a broken slot machine spewing out coins for China.

  29. Should just lie to Trump and agree the  intention is it’s to serve the Indian market specifically. Then find a reason to take that back once the factory  is at the point of being able to export. It’s exactly what Trump would do if their position was reversed.

    Everyone should lie to Trump. As much as possible. He’s fine with lying. It’s the air he breathes. 

  31. >I don’t want him to build in India: Donald Trump

    There was a time where this headline was Impossible. No fucking way a president would tell a CEO to do things because “I don’t want to”.

  32. It‘s really shocking to me that none of these super rich and powerful tech CEOs have the guts to tell that idiot to go fuck himself.

  33. Party of free enterprise suddenly embracing central planning lol

  34. Tim “I won’t! It’s the Indians we hire in India that will do the building. Nothing to worry about!”

  35. Before he blackmails let’s de dollarize use gold as standard or go create BRICS currency enough of bullying from this clown .One day he speaks this right and on other something else is right. No stability in this world unless he is gone. I request all sensible countries to work on de dollarization that’s only a pill for his nastyness. People in US are afraid to talk against him they are terrified to take his name I don’t know if China or US have PRESS freedom.

  38. He is throwing a tantrum since India denied his claims of brokering a peace deal. Instead of accepting he was caught lying to world he does what he does best. Nothing to see here just US president, highest elected member doing what he does best.
