Cramer extensively discussed how, despite Apple Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AAPL) manufacturing relocation efforts, the company has been constantly under fire from the current administration.

“Apple’s pulling off something amazing, moving about 20% of their iPhone manufacturing to India, but the rest are still coming from China. Still, the White House doesn’t care. They want those phones made in America, so they’re threatening a 25% tariff on the ones from India… What a shame. Apple is a huge employer in China, and China’s a huge market for Apple, but the White House is making them leave, and they’re not even getting any credit for it.

If Trump wants leverage with China, he should be doing everything he can to make Apple move its manufacturing literally anywhere else and not tariff them… You have to play with the cards you’ve been dealt. And for decades, our government did everything it could to encourage outsourcing to China. They left us with a pretty lousy darn hand, both Republicans and Democrats. Between NVIDIA and Apple, Trump has a lot of leverage, but he doesn’t want to use it. Those two companies seem hostage to totally different agendas inside the White House.”

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) designs and sells consumer electronics such as smartphones, tablets, computers, wearables, and accessories. The company also provides subscription services like Apple Music, Apple TV+, and Apple Arcade, and operates platforms including the App Store and Apple Pay.
