TRUMP EFFECT: Apple Looking To Bring $252 B In Foreign Cash Back To USA After Landmark Tax Bill

The money was planned to return before and was unconditional on planned return despite the tax bill.
Thank you!

Tim Cook announced in September 2016 that Apple planned to repatriate some measure of its $200B+ held overseas. The man wasn't even a Trump supporter and at the time; in fact, he supported Clinton. Moreover, in September 2016, "everyone" thought Clinton would win the election, including Cook. Clinton, AFAIK, never promised any great repatriation reprieves or discounts or whatever; thus there's no rational basis for asserting any Apple cash repatriation is attributable to anything having to do with Trump. Furthermore, unless and until Apple does repatriate the money, something it is not required to do and that it can at the "drop of a hat" opt not to do, it's premature for unrelated third parties to even remark about the prospect of their doing so, much less count on it happening.

That might have announced it but obviously they waited until the time was right. Smart move.
Tim Cook choosing when he does it, assuming he even does do it, is not indicative of any sort of Trump effect; it's a mark of Cook's prudence, which is all Cook's and has nothing to do with Trump.

Keep telling yourselves that. You fatally underestimated Trump when he was campaigning and you're still frantically trying to minimize the effect he's having on not only America's economy, but the global economy.

That's called "denial".

You just keep thinking that....
 
As has been said too many times but is becoming a stone cold reality-"Trump could find a cure for cancer and liberals would discredit it by protesting that researchers will be put out of work"

Just thinking after Bripat's post.

Was Cook being prudent by not bringing any of that money back during the high tax high regulation obie years because it would have been a losing move?

He obviously wasn't waiting until what he though would be Hillary's winning the election. Everyone in this country knew that Hillary's administration would have only been a continuation of Obama's policies. That's the entire reason the Democrats ran her, aside from the fact that has a vagina.

I will. You people are in denial, that's plain as daylight. Have you come to grips with the fact that Trump in now the President of the United States? Not from what I see. You seem to still think that Trump can be deposed, allowing Hillary to take her "rightful" place.

So please get over yourselves and move to the "acceptance" phase, ok?
