The general consensus among people who aren't obsessed with The Orange Dragon is that serifed fonts are easier to read on written documents, sans serifed easier on screen. Since the State Department has to have printed copies of many, many things, the change back to a serifed font makes sense.

And isn't a big deal.

In the end, though, it's just another example of how Trump is THE MASTER TROLL of all time, playing his usual game of "go chase the stick, good doggie, isn't that a nice stick, go chase the stick" with irrelevant shit that TDS sufferers will obsess over, and not notice what he's actually up to (that they could actually generate support over if they noticed), like the half million deportations (plus 2-3 times as many "self deportations").

It's hilarious, the way he plays the news media like a fucking Stradivarius, with their enthusiastic cooperation.

Particularly the "move all production out of the country" part, which accounts for 20% of Apple's total production (and it's growing), and $20 billion worth of iPhones (85% of which is exported).

End users will put a lot of pressure on the government if they can't get iPhones. The economic loss will put more.
