Ayy lmao America is going to set up the East America Company as the monopoly importer from China by Royal Charter.
By the power vested in me - 'cos I got a lot of power, believe me, people are saying that, never before in the history of this country - I hereby grant Tim Apple - I call him Tim Apple, great guy, believe me - tariff-free imports of iPhones from Cathay. China, not so much, but they respect me, they have to, you know, they respect me. I'm gonna get a call from President Xi - I know him for many years, tough guy, great negotiator - they have to call me.
Some people say this is the biggest, most powerful trade exemption in history. I agree with them. Nobody’s ever done this before — except maybe the British with the East India Company — but we’re doing it better, folks. Way better.

Tim Apple’s gonna make a lot of phones. And we’re gonna win. So much winning. You're gonna be tired of it.
