"Investment" expects a return on said investment.

In other words, no tariffs for iPhones

Don't think they had a keg of Busch Light and served bologna sandwiches at Biden's inaugural

That's more Trump's preferred menu.

The guy eats like shht, looks like shht, smells like shht, turns everything he touches into shht ...

"Unity"

Yeah, sure. Unifying his wallet with more money.

Tariff exemptions and, I wouldn't be surprised, relaxing regulations of what info can be skimmed from users without their knowledge.

Apple CEO Tim Apple thinks inaugurations are great!

Trumpy thinks Apple CEO Tim Apple is great, too!

Maybe for a million dollars Trumpy can get his name right on the thank you card.

I am sorry. That was a ridiculous thing to say.

Trumpy would never send him a thank you card! That would interfere with his golfing and his "presidenting" time.

Tariffs.
Musk's Tesla would be close to bankrupt, except for the fact that he got 100% tariffs on cheaper Chinese Electric Vehicles. That is the real objective in all the tariff business, making sure the billionaires get their's. If Musk cared about the American workers he wouldn't be fighting so hard for H-1b access.
