In his speech on Monday at Liberty University in Virginia Trump said "We're going to get Apple to build their damn computers and things in this country instead of in other countries".

The tech giant Apple which has a market capitalisation of $534 billion is based in the US but relies on it's partners in China to manufacture it's best selling devices like iPhones, iPads and Mac computers.A worker working in plant manufacturing iPhone gets a monthly wage of roughly $400 which is far lesser than when compared to the minimum wage in California(Apple's home state) where it would be roughly $1400 a month.This rough estimate shows how much more expensive it would get to manufacture the same devices in the US as compared to other countries.

Donald Trump's rhetoric is designed to appeal to voters who are struggling to find jobs in US.
