Your "logic" (masking) conveniently avoids the point I raised: That these tariffs are being enforced to the tune of 10%. That isn't enough to alone justify this level of investment, or relocation of significant production capacity. Obviously, Apple agrees with this, because the investments they're making aren't as far as I can tell a relocation of capacity from China to the United States, but rather greenfield investment in high-skill research and development. Apple has also made significant investment into advanced silicon manufacturing in the United States; something they also did not rely on China for previously.

Have you done zero research into this? The EU imposes a tariff on Chinese EVs. India imposes insane tariffs on all imported electronics. China tariffs Australian wine. Russia tariffs agricultural products from the EU. Brazil tariffs all imported automobiles. The list goes on. Tariffs are everywhere, everyone uses them for something.
If trump’s terrible plans are rolled back there’s no harm.
If they aren’t rolled back they will undergo the costly move to relocate.
The world is a bigger market than USA and just about every other country has cheaper labor and no tariffs.
It’s just logic, I have no emotion tied to this.
