The following is a comment from someone responding to the news of tech CEOs meeting with Donald on Wednesday at Trump tower, and I couldn't have said it better:

"Tim Cook could hardly pass up a chance of trying to educate this naïf.

"Mr. Trump, America literally gave up on electronics manufacturing 40 years ago. It wasn't the unions, it wasn't low wages in Asia, it was America's lack of respect for good, efficient design. We lost solid-state radio, television, VCR, camcorder, digital camera and computer manufacturing to Japan, Taiwan, Korea and China. That's where the center of gravity has been for two generations. That's the structure in the galaxy of our technology. You can't import a galaxy to our shores. About the only thing we can make here are the cardboard boxes.

"But we can do the design, the manufacturing and marketing logistics, and the software. Apple has shown that no one else in the world can do that better than we can. That's why we are the most valuable company, yet we have no manufacturing to speak of, only partners. And if we get a COLD, you will see the rest of the economy get PNEUMONIA.

"Don't mess with our system. It's the best in the world, the most valuable. And we're just getting started."
