At a rally in South Carolina this afternoon, Donald Trump called for a boycott of Apple because of how they’re refusing to unlock the San Bernardino killer’s phone for the FBI. Trump heavily criticized Apple for resisting the order (the DOJ filed a new motion to force Apple’s hand today). Apple CEO Tim Cook argued that unlocking one phone for the government creates a dangerous precedent for future cases. As Trump was going on a tangent about China today, he again said Apple’s in the wrong, even saying, “What I think you oughta do is boycott Apple until such time as they give up that security number. Boycott Apple.” He suggested Cook’s “looking to do a big number, probably to show how big a liberal he is.” Here’s a partial list of other things Trump has suggested people boycott: Macy’s, Starbucks, and Megyn Kelly.

Trump’s boycott suggestion comes in the middle of a fight between Apple and the Department of Justice. Today, the DOJ filed a motion for a court order to compel Apple to help it unlock one of the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone by creating a software to help the FBI brute-force the passcode. Trump uses an iPhone, so we’ll see if this boycott extends to his own electronic devices. This is not the first dumb suggestion Trump has had about Apple this election season—hey, remember when he suggested that he’d force Apple to manufacture inside the US even though a president can’t do that?—but it is, perhaps, even dumber? I’m losing my ability to discern when Trump says something idiotic and when Trump says something extremely idiotic. It’s all blurring together. I’m so cold. where Farook and Malik may have traveled to and from before and after the incident, and other pertinent information that would provide more information about their and others' involvement in the deadly shooting," prosecutors said in their initial filing on Tuesday.
