      Let’s be honest, if Apple didn’t pay that $1m then the shareholders would still have lost $250B. $1m is nothing in this.

        Yeah scale. A million is like .001 billions. I would spend .001. Scale it down would you spend a tenth of a cent to possibly save $250? Yes.

      Yes, hindsight is twenty-twenty, there was speculations about how Trump would implement the tariffs before he did it, and before it could be seen as taking the necessary steps to prevent the tariffs that Apple would be affected by, and bow it can be seen as it could have been worse.

      As for loss of stock value, as long as the shareholders don’t sell out of panic, they still have the shares and can recover their losses if the share price goes up.
