In British slang if you fart we sometimes say you Trump, or Trumpet. Can we refer to Trumps posts and speeches as Trumpets?

Apple spent millions per year in fines for decades just because Steve Jobs didn’t want illuminated fire exit signs polluting the decor of his Apple stores. Their cash reserves exceed $150bn. They won’t do anything they don’t want to do.
Tim Apple could just buy him a fucking plane and be done with it. And that would open up some interesting opportunities, nahmean?
It’s what I’d do if I were an ambitious, resource hoarding, ass pimple billionaire.
It’s obvious the way to Trump’s heart is to tell him he’s pretty and give him something .

Coming this fall: the new iPhone Republican edition (iPhone RE)
-cheaper construction and materials, yet somehow features a higher price tag -tons of backdoors (this time, intentional) -only connects to approved propaganda sites -reports all biometric data to the GOP -zaps you whenever it detects a thought the party dislikes -integrates with neurolink (not optional, you sick deviant)

What about the components? Should they also be produced in the US?
Let’s be clear, producing the iPhone in the US would be more than a 25% cost increase.
It is paid by consumers, not Apple. Other phone companies will raise prices as well to increase their profits, since iPhone prices will set a new high price. When Apple prices goes up 25% other phone companies can increase their prices by 15% and still be competitive to apple.
Actually to make same profit due to lower phone sales Apple may have to raise price even higher than 25% or find other ways to get consumers to pay more. Die hard fans of Apple will buy, whatever the price.

Failed business man telling people how to run their businesses. I’ve got an idea about how to make American manufacturing cheaper universal healthcare.
Tribute's goin' up, lads! Better shake them coffers empty, the Lord of Great Murika demands more mmmmoneyyyy!
The more I think about it doesn't trump just want to raise taxes without explicitly raising taxes.
*Raise taxes on poor people. The billionaires can easily just fly to Europe for a shopping spree attached to their regular weekend jaunt and bring everything home in their luggage (if they cared about the prices of anything to begin with, that is).
I oppose tariffs, but I'm also somewhat indifferent to the fortunes of Apple.
"Trump says..." A load of fucking bollocks, to be frank. You can rest assured what he says is the opposite of reality. He's a pathological liar.
