I doubt Trump will be impeached.

In the first place, he's worth a lot more to Democrats as an example of what you get when you vote for Republicans.

If the investigation progresses to where it is clear he's committed a crime, he will try to cut a deal.

I have worked in the IT industry for 24 years. I have a degree in computer science. I know people just out of college with the same credentials who can barely function in tech support. Apple will be placing a premium on actual experience. That degree counts for a lot, but it doesn't mean you can actually DO something.
The keyword is "initially".

Once Apple gets the place up and running to their liking, they'll most likely turn it into a R&D center. No tech company decides to invest this much money into a new campus just for tech support. They're looking for another R&D center outside of Silicon Valley.

In other words, presiding over great economic news does not mean immunity from scandal or automatic re-election.
You don't understand. Trump has defied and shattered every piece of political conventional wisdom ever created. Comparing the Trump Era to the Clinton Era is a colossal mistake on your part. But if if helps you sleep better believing he will be impeached, so be it.

A blue wave is likely, and if the dems take the house the Rs won't have control of the committees...
Keep telling yourself that Trump will be impeached. Go for it. Whatever helps you cope.

Why are we talking about "Top Tier" jobs? No where in the article does it talk about top tier jobs, it say's 20k jobs....

Will there be the top tier jobs, of course...but I'm sorry, soldering an electrical board does not require a PHD....

He may be indicted, but I doubt he'll be impeached.

If he's impeached, it means Republicans want to wash their hands of him, claim that he wasn't one of them.

Why would Democrats go along with that?

Good grief. He's done exactly what Republicans have been doing since Lee Atwater -- lying, falsely accusing others, and carrying water for the rich.

Apple hires top tier talent. Google does. Intel does. So forth... Most Silicon Valley companies hires top tier talent.

This won't be something you read about. This is something you know by experience. This is how the engineering profession is for electronic/software design. I've had my fair share of experience with interviews/HR chats in trying to land a job at one of those companies. I know what they're looking for.

I've interviewed for engineering positions at Intel, Western Digital, and Google before. All the other candidates possess a much higher level of education than me (it might be the same degree, but they're true experts in their area of research) and are much smarter than me. They can crunch math and software codes in their head on the fly. While I need to sit down with a piece of paper and pen to do it.

Funny Alabama is Red, yes?

Seems Alabama voted for trump, yes?

Huntsville, Alabama has the highest number of engineers per 1000 workers (about 68 per 1000) than any other place in the United States. So, there goes your useless theory....maybe educate yourself a little...
