In a flurry of Truth Social posts, Donald Trump threatened Apple with a 25% tariff and proposed a massive 50% tariff on the European Union, accusing both of hurting American industry. But is this about economic strategy—or just headlines?
In this episode:

  • Why this isn’t about policy—it’s about publicity and approval ratings
  • A look back at Foxconn’s failed “factory” turned wedding venue
