And since Trump has nothing to do with the success or failure of Apple, your original comment is fallacious as well.
In the long terms you are definitely correct.
In the short term, virtually every market watcher and economist has said that the China and Trade Chaos has affected the Stock Market and Manufacturers and Importers and many others. Then the stock market, being chancy, makes it so you and I (or at least those with money in the markets) don't feel flush.
What about that are you having a hard time understanding???
Also, today the WH poured gas on the fire saying they don't care about Apple because it's made in China. Imagine.....Apple keeps at least 2 million Americans employed (in the eco-system, apps, etc.) PLUS, virtually ALL the profits from Apple are not "Chinese". The labor on an iphone is less than $10, while the total sales price is $800 and the profit is $400.
How dumb does one have to be to say they don't care about that $400 (times many tens of millions) because $10 of assembly line work is elsewhere??? https://www.apple.com/job-creation/

Don't ask me, ask Tim Cook. See my quote from him above, he didn't seem concerned about it at all only a few months ago. Seems like a convenient excuse now for a company that has other self inflicted problems such as longer consumer refresh cycles, missed product launches, over priced products, and lack of innovation.

If that is true-so is the entire thread.
