Apple is one of the richest company on earth, they can afford that but the problem with tariffs is they lead to more losses than gains. Spending $500 billion for 20k of employment might sound impressive to an idiot but the economics aren't great. American industry is probably going to become globally uncompetitive and depend on protected domestic markets more.

That isn't what happened historically. America increased tariffs to counter the great depression and it didn't work... the government forced industrial investment during WWII is what kicked started things. Smart industrial policy will always win against inflating the costs of imports.
