Apple

[Grieve]

The point is you are calling out Google for selling an "American company", which primarily seems to manufacture things overseas, while supporting Apple, which seems to exclusively manufacture things overseas, when in fact neither of these companies would get a lot of PR traction by trying to tout themselves as "American businesses".

Apple employs over 80,000 people, most of them in the US, many of them very high paying engineering jobs. But arguably they enable over half a million jobs in the US (this is from a couple of years back):

Moreover, JP Morgan said the iPhone 5 release alone added half a percent to US GDP. So yes, I'd say they very much are an American company, and a massive help to employment and GDP.

And yes, they do manufacture in the US - the Mac Pro is made here.

They are American companies in that they are headquartered here. When it comes to manufacturing, Toyota is more of an American company than Apple.

Toyota has 30k us employees. And the profits from the cars they build here and sell go back to Japan. So, no.
