In a flurry of Truth Social posts, Donald Trump threatened Apple with a 25% tariff and proposed a massive 50% tariff on the European Union, accusing both of hurting American industry. But is this about economic strategy—or just headlines?
In this episode:

• Trump demands iPhones be made in the U.S.—or face a 25% tariff
• Why this isn’t about policy—it’s about publicity and approval ratings
• A look back at Foxconn’s failed “factory” turned wedding venue
• Trump’s proposed 50% EU tariff and the real story behind it
• How the markets immediately reacted—and why it matters
• The deeper concern: Are we normalizing economic authoritarianism?

From negotiating bluster to regulatory overreach, this segment breaks down what’s really behind the tweets—and what it means for business and consumers alike.
