I also happen to agree that Apple would win in a case over this were it to be actually implemented.So there! Also, who in Hades is Molly Ploofkins? That name is awesome.

The EU tariff stuff is bad, but putting a "tariff" specifically on iPhones is bananas and clearly illegal and unconstitutional. If he goes through with this, it will cause financial markets to spasm. For the good of the country, I hope Apple takes the government to court (they will win), but I fear Tim Cook will make a pilgrimage to the Oval and make "concessions" (maybe buy a bunch of the meme coin) to avoid a fight.I've been considering throwing a few grand into UVXY when it flatlines.

Well, that and his tariff tantrums are moving rates lower which helps equity valuations. But between it being the Friday before a long weekend, and people just not believing a word he says, the market is choosing complacency.

(I mean, same as anything really, but I actually considered this one lol)
May 29May 29 So can this judgement be ignored or are the tariffs immediately paused? I honestly don't know what matters any more.
