Apple's Latest Announcement Shows the Impact of the Trump Effect

President Donald Trump is just better. In every aspect, the man is an upgrade from feeble, weak, and mentally degraded Joe Biden, who put everything on autopilot, which led to a stream of domestic crises and disasters abroad. Trump created a prime environment for job creation and economic growth under his first presidency, and he’s rebuilding everything Biden broke over the last four years with his braindead policies. Apple’s latest announcement would never happen under a Biden administration because Democrats no longer know what they’re doing.

Like under the first Trump presidency, the tech company plans to hire 20,000 more workers and invest $500 billion into the U.S. over the next four years. It’s a significant announcement, one that shows plainly that things are simply better with Trump in charge (via CBS News):

Apple plans to invest $500 billion domestically over the next four years and hire 20,000 additional workers in the U.S., the iPhone maker announced on Monday.
The company's plans include building a new 250,000 square-foot manufacturing plant in Houston, set to open in 2026, that will make servers to power Apple's AI services. Apple also said it would establish an educational academy in Michigan focused on manufacturing and boost its investment in a fund aimed at fostering innovation across the U.S.
The investments and hiring plans mark Apple's "largest-ever spend commitment," the company said in a news release. The announcement follows a meeting at the White House last week between President Donald Trump and Apple CEO Tim Cook.

Apple also plans to continue expanding data center capacity in North Carolina, Iowa, Oregon, Arizona and Nevada, it said. Apple suppliers already manufacture silicon in 24 factories across 12 states, according to the company.
"From doubling our Advanced Manufacturing Fund, to building advanced technology in Texas, we're thrilled to expand our support for American manufacturing," Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a statement. "And we'll keep working with people and companies across this country to help write an extraordinary new chapter in the history of American innovation."

I mean, even Axios’ Mike Allen couldn’t downplay the impact of this announcement from Apple:
