    I support Trump.

    Send those centroamericans back to their countries!. No more mexicans running to USA ilegally!. Make America (the continent) great again!.

    Many of the center-american and south-american geniouses are working on USA, or for USA-based transnationals.

    If Apple leaves China, chineses could use their leftover technoliogy to make their own chinese-branded phones, using the knowledge gained from working with Apple (As little as it could be, with outdated parts and america-coded software).

    Then, USa could make some reality checks and find out that the Statue of Liberty's motto was what made USA great once. And the immigrants they took in during the first and second world war was what made them to outstand in fields like arts and bussines (Yiddish and polski), restaurants and fashion (Italians and French), Sciences and Industry (british, russians, germans and irish). All the USA development was taken on the shoulders, or with the collaboration of immigrants, either on the design, compossing, ejecution or manufacturing.

    If you, Americans, forget that, you deserve the pressident you got. And remember that, if USA don't want immigrants, other countries are willing to take that huge human resources for themselves.

      How about tell Apple to reveal its HIDDEN offshore assets. No "clued-up" American should be proud of Apple as a company, HIDING billions of off-shore wealth to avoid American taxes.... All i can say is ewwwwwwww

          I think if the situation arises where trump forces apple to bring back the production to US, they will just push him a billion dollar cheque to shut the f**k up....
          Or they can just move themselves to a different country with a cheaper operating costs like korea, japan or india.
          But it probably wont come to that.....

              The reason why population is much bigger is that people don't die before they could reproduce.

              And don't forget that the white population is in decline, while the non-whites (blacks, gypsies, africans, asians) are in serious growth. The world wide collapse is guaranteed.

              Also don't forget that there are less and less jobs. Wealth and income inequality is increasing dramatically.
