President Donald Trump was mocked on Twitter for tweeting that he would not allow tariff waivers for Apple, while clearly using an iPhone to convey his message.
"Apple will not be given Tariff wavers, or relief, for Mac Pro parts that are made in China," Trump tweeted early morning Friday."Make them in the USA, no Tariffs!" Trump's tweet was in reference to the trade war he has engaged in with China. The Trump administration has threatened a tariff on imports from China that would affect electronics among other goods, and could mean a tariff increase of up to 25 percent for Apple.
Apple, which moved its Mac Pro manufacturing from the U.S. to China recently, submitted a request with the Office of the United States Trade Representative earlier this month for some parts to be exempt from Trump's proposed tariffs. The request did not name the Mac Pro desktop computer but Bloomberg reported that the descriptions matched up.
A Twitter user on Friday took a screenshot of Trump's tweet and circled the section on the post indicating,"Twitter for iPhone," setting off an endless parade of jokes and criticism directed at the president.
idiot
LOL..that's where his big red ties are made!

If ya made Apple products in USA, you definitely have to pay more money, for your Apple product. China labor is cheap compared to USA. Plus you would have to build & train an entire US labor force to make such products.
Thank you Donald Trump for making America the trailer park of the world
until it goes
Should be posted at TheOnion
Why is the president of the United States still using an iPhone? As I recall the IC told him to cut it out.

Trump zagroził wszystkiemu co zwie się made in USA.

It's not just any normal iPhone it will have a triple loop forward slide twin encrypted encryption imbeded inside so only certain people can read it I thought every one knew that it even has a nuclear button app aswell but it's top secret.
He gets worse and dumber each day.
And? Oh, I forgot, you no longer report news 😂
Yo’ MKBHD. Call to all units. Twitter police 🚔
If there was ever a real problem with this approach to handling trade...this is it. Do you think Apple owns a plant that makes these all of theses components Assemble, but not make! Patients & ownerships issues could to years & years to resolve!
😁
Fool Trump ...:)
So?
The irony and the idiocy..
Sir_Bradford Steve Apple was not amused...
hey newsweek. we've been in afghanistan for 20 years.
LanceUlanoff I doubt he has to pay for his, so cost increases are not relevant to him.
What do you think this is really about Newsweek? This is a veiled threat when Trump tweets at a company. This is insider trading. Trump is letting people know prior to these tweets at companies. This is what market manipulation looks like. Another crime right in the open.
Bout to switch back to boost and Samsung till we get this situated. Gotta get a job real quick to get gas monies and then hopefully I don’t get pulled over trying to get a phone activated cuz then who ima call. While saving some bond money. It’s a dirty Sahara
Oh! But, isn't that okay? I mean, he's the President ELECT. And he gets special treatment. Isn't that right?
Who cares? Pay the tax or don’t get an iPhone- quite sure President Trump can afford them
I wonder where that iPhone was made.
Oh man, you owned him by his own logic. How will he ever recover?
“Trump farts add to global warming” .. thats how ridiculous you all sound
