      Apple stock did, and unfortunately it even makes sense why. Considering how self-centered Trump is, and how easily swayed he can be by a literal shiny rock being given to him, this was probably a legitimately good trade for Apple.

      They spend some money on a gold brick with some laser-cut glass, and the president of the entire country either gives them preferential treatment, or simply doesn’t take any more extreme actions he was planning to take against them.

                  Those fines are always pocket money for these companies. Until it’s % of revenue based, it’s destined to be a joke.
