Trump Tells Apple: Build Here, Not There! MrBeast Reacts!

Wait What Did He Just Say?!

Okay folks MrBeast here and I'm just trying to wrap my head around this one. Apparently the former Prez Donald Trump had a chat with Tim Cook the head honcho at Apple. And get this: Trump told Tim he doesn't want Apple building their stuff in India. I'm just imagining him saying 'Tim my friend build it here! Make America… assemble again!' Like seriously? Is this real life or are we filming another insane challenge video?

The $500 Billion Promise (and a Little Pressure)

Trump mentioned Apple's commitment to investing $500 billion in the U.S. back in February. Which is awesome! More jobs more money more chances for me to give away even MORE stuff! But then comes the hammer: 'Now I hear you're building all over India?' It's like telling Chandler that you heard he's making jokes somewhere else. Come on man loyalty!

India vs. USA: The Manufacturing Showdown

So Apple’s been beefing up production in India aiming to make about 25% of their iPhones there. Smart move diversifying away from China where about 90% of the iPhones are made. But Trump's like 'Nah build it here build it NOW!' I can almost hear the dramatic music swelling as he stares intensely at Tim Cook. It's like a staring contest but for global economics. Winner gets bragging rights...and maybe a golden iPhone.

Tariffs and Trade Wars: It's Complicated

Trump also mentioned that India is "one of the highest tariff nations in the world." Which is why both governments have imposed reciprocal tariffs. Now I don't pretend to understand all this trade stuff but it sounds like a real life game of 'Monopoly' where everyone's trying to bankrupt each other. I'd rather give away a million dollars honestly than deal with all that.

Made in the USA? More Like $$$$$

Here's the kicker: Experts are saying if Apple made iPhones in the U.S. they could cost between $1,500 and $3,500. Yikes! That's like buying a car for your phone. Imagine gifting a bunch of those! I'd be broke within a week. Maybe we should just stick to making chocolate bars into iPhones – cheaper tastier and less likely to start a trade war.

So What's Next?

Well Trump says Apple's "upping" its production in the United States. We'll see! For now I'm just picturing Tim Cook doing the MrBeast challenge – trying to assemble an iPhone in 60 seconds. Loser has to give away a million dollars. Now THAT'S a video I'd watch!
