Trump Slaps Apple with 200% Tax for Ignoring His Anti-DEI Crusade, Threatens to Deport Costco Members

 Washington, D.C. — In his latest bid to mold corporate America into his personal fan club, President Donald J. Trump has announced a 200% tax on Apple for refusing to abandon Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. But the crackdown doesn’t stop there—he’s also threatening to deport Costco members if the warehouse giant doesn’t fall in line.

“DEI is a disaster, folks—a total disaster!” Trump declared during a surprise press conference held outside a Mar-a-Lago golf cart charging station. “Apple, they don’t get it. They want diversity? Fine. I’ll give them diversity—diversely high taxes! Tim Cook, you’re gonna learn real fast that it’s MAGA or nothing!”

Apple: “This Is Insane”

Apple executives, already reeling from supply chain issues and lawsuits, were reportedly blindsided by the tax, which would triple the cost of iPhones overnight.

“We were already selling $1,500 phones, and now they want us to charge $4,500?!” a panicked Apple spokesperson said, frantically refreshing their stock ticker. “We love America, but at this rate, we might have to start making flip phones just to survive.”

Trump, however, was unsympathetic. “Apple doesn’t want to be loyal to America? Sad! They’ll pay the price. Literally! I might even force them to bring back the headphone jack—nobody likes these AirPods, folks.”

Costco Members at Risk of Deportation

While Apple executives scramble for answers, another group faces Trump’s wrath: Costco members.

“They’re up to something, folks. They have ID cards for their little club, they move in packs, and worst of all? They support DEI. Very suspicious! Almost like—illegals!” Trump proclaimed.

As a result, Trump has threatened to revoke the citizenship of any Costco member who refuses to denounce DEI and switch their membership to Sam’s Club.

“I always said, Costco is for the radical left,” he continued. “They give out free samples—that’s socialism, folks! I like Sam’s Club because you gotta earn it. Pay for your giant bag of frozen steaks like a real American.”

Backlash and Confusion

The announcement has left millions of Costco members terrified of impending deportation. Many are reportedly burning their Kirkland-brand sweatpants in an effort to avoid suspicion.

“I’ve been a Costco member for 15 years—does this mean I have to self-deport?” asked Nancy Ramirez, a suburban mom from Arizona. “I just wanted a good deal on bulk toilet paper. I didn’t know I was committing treason.”

Meanwhile, legal scholars are debating whether Trump actually has the power to deport U.S. citizens over a warehouse club membership.

“This is…not how immigration law works,” said constitutional law professor Dr. Lydia Stern. “But at this point, who’s going to stop him? The man is threatening to tax Apple into the Stone Age.”

Elon Musk Weighs In

The only major corporate figure who appears unbothered by the chaos is Elon Musk, who quickly took to X (formerly Twitter) to endorse the move.

“I fully support punishing woke companies like Apple,” Musk posted. “Also, thinking of starting MAGA Warehouse™—only real Americans allowed. NO free samples. Just $8 hot dogs and freedom.”

What’s Next?

While Costco members frantically shred their loyalty cards and Apple’s legal team races to stop the tax hike, Trump remains undeterred. Insiders say he is already considering a new policy to replace the App Store with a “Trump Store” that only allows Truth Social and Candy Crush downloads.

Asked whether he’s concerned about alienating major American companies, Trump simply shrugged.

“America loves me. Apple will cave. Costco will cave. And if they don’t?” He grinned. “*Maybe we tax iPhones at 500% and replace Costco with a new store: TRUMP WHOLESALE. The greatest bulk shopping experience. No woke nonsense—just big carts, big steaks, and even bigger tariffs.”

At press time, Apple stock was plummeting, Sam’s Club memberships were skyrocketing, and millions of confused Costco shoppers were Googling ‘fastest way to renounce citizenship.’

Trump Says Ukraine War Caused by Stolen 2020 Election; Ends Conflict Instantly with Confidence

At a joint press conference this week with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy , U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a sweeping new theory of international relations, asserting that the Russian invasion of Ukraine would never have occurred if the 2020 U.S. presidential election had not been “stolen from him personally.” “This war,” Trump said, gesturing broadly toward Eastern Europe, “is really about me. Everybody knows it. If I were president, this would not have happened. Putin would have been too scared. Tremendously scared.” Standing beside him, Zelensky maintained a diplomatic expression usually reserved for situations involving translation errors or mild food poisoning. Trump continued, explaining that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was not the result of decades of post-Cold War tension, NATO expansion debates, or Russian imperial ambition, but rather a direct consequence of Trump not being in the White House at the time. “Putin respects strength,” Trump said. “And by streng...

Trump’s Prime-Time Address Assures Americans the Economy Is Perfect—Suggests They’re Just Too Stupid to Notice

In an unexpected return to prime-time television, President Donald J. Trump delivered a 28-minute national address Wednesday night designed, according to his staff, to “clear up confusion about the economy.” The resulting speech instead raised questions about whether he had accidentally wandered onto the soundstage during a pharmaceutical infomercial. “Ladies and gentlemen, the American economy is the strongest, the bigliest, the most incredible it has ever been,” Trump announced, gripping the lectern as if it had personally wronged him. “If you can’t see that, well… maybe you’re just not very smart. Not everyone can be smart. I’m very smart. But most of you, frankly? Not so much.” Economic experts, who had spent the previous week offering cautious optimism mixed with concern about rising costs, were surprised to learn that the entire issue was simply a matter of insufficient national intelligence. “Normally we talk about inflation, interest rates, employment trends,” said economist Da...

Nation Excited to Experience All the Thrill of Getting a Passport — Every Two Years — Just to Vote

WASHINGTON — In a stunning development for lovers of paperwork everywhere, lawmakers have unveiled the SAFE Act, a bold new initiative promising to bring the full sensory experience of passport acquisition directly to your local election cycle. Supporters say the bill will ensure “secure, confident elections,” while critics have pointed out it also ensures that Americans can relive the magic of government-issued identity documentation roughly as often as they replace their toothbrush. Democracy, Now With Waiting Rooms Under the proposal, voters would present newly verified identification documentation — potentially requiring updated proof of citizenship — before casting a ballot. “People love passports,” said one enthusiastic policy backer. “The lines. The forms. The gentle existential dread while wondering if your birth certificate has the right font. Why should international travel have all the fun?” Experts estimate the average American could now enjoy: Searching for their origina...
