The Apple CEO just had the most lucrative visit to the Oval Office in American history.  He traveled to the White House to meet with President Trump, got a special handshake deal with the President on tariff exemptions, and suddenly Apple’s stock soared by $60 billion over the next few days.

Trump boasted “I helped Tim Cook, recently, and that whole business.”

Understatement of the century!

Good for Apple – one of America’s iconic companies. But the problem is that the tens of millions of men and women who run small businesses can’t make those kind of lucrative insider deals.

Just like any tax, tariffs – if applied at all – should be uniform at a low rate and with no carve outs for those with powerful lobbyists.

Meanwhile, the FTC is suing Meta for making too much money and being too popular with consumers.
