President-elect Donald Trump is is not even officially in the Oval Office and already he’s bringing jobs back to America as he pushes Apple and other companies who have moved offshore to make more of their products in the U.S.

In January Trump hit out at Apple for not producing enough of its products – including iPhones and iPad – in the US.
Speaking in Virginia back when he was a mere Republican hopeful, Trump said, “We’re gonna get Apple to start building their damn computers and things in this country, instead of in other countries.”
All we are saying, is give Trump a chance..
