IMO Timmy doesn't give a crap if there's tariffs, I actually suspect he wants them. If Iphones go up 20% because of tariffs and the tariffs get removed, iPhones will still cost 20% more or 10% more. Either Apple will make billions more. Also, Tim is super rich he will get tax breaks and having favor with trump gets you things from the government, lax regulations, all good for Tim and Apple. Not good for America but him and the rich will get richer.

That's my fear. A lot of goods went up 3 years ago and even though inflation flattened out they found that people still pay the higher prices so they kept them high.

The inflation of one year is the standard price of the next.
