I hear Apple is planning to build their new iPhones in Brazil, which I think means moving at least some of their production out of China. Apple is the one I've been watching because people have been saying that there's not going to be decoupling unless Apple does it.

← Previous segment →Let's talk about Trump's stopping of immigration from the political standpoint. I think the Democrats are going to say, oh he's gonna win this round because his base will love it because it looks like they'll be thinking, well maybe it'll be permanent. It won't be permanent but it may be his base will think so, or some of them. So it might help his popularity. His popularity with his base might go up. And it makes it very hard to argue against it because at this point, who exactly benefits from stopping immigration during the coronavirus? I think it's mostly minorities, right? Wouldn't the people who would be helped the most be the people who are competing for those jobs? It seems to me they're the ones who would be helped the most. So the president's being called a racist for a policy that clearly is strongly weighted toward helping the black population in this country. Even the other immigrants who are already here, given the illegal immigrants who are already here, stopping immigration is good even for the people who don't have documented citizenship because the last thing they want is more people like that in the country because they'd be competing for the same limited jobs. So it's sort of ridiculous that in this case a policy that's clearly primarily beneficial for the minority population in this country is being called racist. But their habit. It's a political year.
