It's all international now
Trump doesn't seem to get that the tech industry is just so globalised now and there's little he can do to change that. While it is admirable from a US viewpoint to force the likes of Apple, Microsoft and Dell to employ more US citizens and make more products in the States, he doesn't realise that the US is just a increasingly smaller part of the global marketplace.
What happens when he tries to turn the screws to force these companies to comply? They can simply up-sticks and move their HQs to the EU or one of the new emerging mega-markets such as India or China. Tech companies don't need to stay anchored in one country anymore.
