Ivanka: .. where we saw those beautiful words "Made in the USA" stamped on a new line of computers

President @realDonaldTrump created the most robust and inclusive economy in history.

Throwback to our visit to Apple’s new plant in TX w/ @tim_cook last year where we saw those beautiful words “Made in the USA” stamped on a new line of computers. #PledgetoAmericasWorkers

started under Obama because of an Obama era incentive to re-shore manufacturing? It just finished when Trump was in office

Actually, on the bottom of my MacBook that I bought just this year:



So, only designed in California, but assembled in China.

I know for a while Apple was assembling the now-discontinued little-black-trashcan-style Mac Pro in the US, but I don't know if they do that with the new Mac Pro, or anything else anymore.

Typical. Does anyone think that Ivanka will do a throwback tweet from prison in the future about how her so-called pedo minded father ran like a jack rabbit away from his responsibilities letting so many innocent people die and letting “his” (although we know he inherited it from the previous administration) “economy “ tank?

Not quite —
No, Apple isn’t opening a new manufacturing plant in Texas



“I opened a major Apple manufacturing plant in Texas,” Trump wrote Wednesday.

Enlarge / Donald Trump speaks at Apple's Mac Pro manufacturing facility in Austin, Texas.


President Donald Trump toured Apple's Mac Pro manufacturing facility in Austin, Texas, with CEO Tim Cook on Wednesday.

"We're seeing the beginning of a very powerful and important plant," Trump said during the visit. "I want to see Apple building plants in the United States. That's what's happening."

Trump echoed that theme in a tweet after the tour. "Today I opened a major Apple manufacturing plant in Texas that will bring high paying jobs back to America," he wrote.

Trump neglected to mention a couple of key facts about the facility. First, it's technically owned by Apple contractor Flex, not Apple itself. More important, it's not new. Apple has been building the Mac Pro at the same location since 2013.

Apple is opening a new facility in Austin—a 3 million-square-foot office complex where Apple says its employees will perform a variety of functions, including "engineering, R&D, operations, finance, sales and customer support." In remarks at the Mac Pro plant Wednesday, Cook touted it as a $1 billion investment that will create Apple's second-biggest site after Apple's home base in Cupertino.

But that new facility isn't a manufacturing plant. It will create some high-paying jobs, but they'll mostly be white-collar jobs in areas like engineering, finance, and sales.

?s=20







..................Neither Cook nor Apple corrected Trump's assertion that a new manufacturing plant was opened in Austin on Wednesday, but it's in Apple's best interest to stay on Trump's good side as the company seeks exemptions from Chinese tariffs.

When asked by a reporter about those discussions, Trump demurred.

"We're looking at that," he said. "The problem we have is, you have Samsung — it's a great company, but it's a competitor of Apple. And it's not fair, because we have a trade deal with Korea. We made a great trade deal with South Korea. But we have to treat Apple on a somewhat similar basis as we treat Samsung."

My response is this:

This is evidence that America...and possibly the entire fucking world has not only crashed through the Looking Glass, but we are now using the broken shards to slit our fucking wrists.

Every fiber of my being, from the deepest depths of my soul, to the tips of my male nipples in the frozen-food section at Harris Teeter, knows with a crystalline, pure spar certainty, that I should NOT BE REQUIRED to give ONE-FUCK what this soulless, hell spawn "Netherworld Barbie" has to say about fucking anything!

My intellect, my psyche, my conscience, my decency and grace...all tell me that I shouldn't even be required to know who in the fuck these people are.

I know that these lifeless, grifting, vapid, empty vessels deserve NOT ONE SECOND of my serious thoughts.

These spray-on-tan, Loreal of Bakersfield, plastic, Axe-Body Spray wearing morons SHOULD BE THE MOST FUCKING INSIGNIFICANT PEOPLE WE EVER ENCOUNTER.

Their impact on our lives should have the same effect of a fucking gnat blocking the path of a charging rhino.

I will NEVER forgive fucking Donnie Shit for Brains voting morons for requiring me to take seriously A FUCKING BUNCH OF IGNORANT FUCKSTICKS that should NEVER be taken seriously

This fucking family and their supporters, are like dog-shit stuck in the grooves of your tennis shoes.
