Well there are two parts.  One, we need to see how much MFG comes to the US.  I do think many here are being a bit blind to the committed trillion dollar investments.  I get the idea that companies can back away from their commitment, but that is a bit naive.  Companies can't falsely make massive public announcements, that is a major security and exchange commission violations.

The second piece is a bigger question.  Paying more to have more jobs, is it worth it?

But hate blinds.  And to be fair the hate is more than justified.  

And if anyone here is being honest....  there is a bit of an absurd dismissive attitude to well over $1,000,000,000,000 in investments.  

And people are wrong about vague promises that companies can just back off whenever.  Security and exchange commission says hello.

Apple is a publicly traded company.  They can't flatly lie about a $500,000,000,000 investments.  Sure they can change plans, but isn't as simple as being are making it out to be.  

Look at it from the companies POV; it would cost them a fortune (and years) to set up new operations in the US, and even once they came online, they'd be far more expensive to operate due to first world wages.

In three and a half years time, the current US government's term ends; the new admin may dispense with tariffs altogether, in which case the companies have wasted a fortune for nothing. Heck, Trump is already flip-flopping on a day to day basis, to say nothing of years down the track.

It just isn't worth their while, not when they can just raise their prices and carry on business as usual.

Maybe.  Be curious how the SEC responds if all this is made up.  I still think this is way more complex than people think it is.
