“Apple CEO Tim Cook plans to donate $1 million to Donald Trump’s inauguration fund, reports Axios. The donation will be a personal donation directly from Cook rather than a donation from Apple”

I’ll defend Apple as being the least shitty of the big tech giants but I can’t defend this.

      Or it is protection money. “Nice apple you got there, would be a shame if anyone took a bite out of that”….

        Why would Tim Cook be assosiated with Apple in trumps mind?

        Apple is owned by Tim Apple.

        Kind of strange that this line cook is able to afford a small 1 million dollar loan…what? You think trump knows that a loan is different than a donation? You think he knows you’re supposed to pay back loans?

          I am very sure Trump does not actually think, at best he works based on instinct, but so does his chaotic band of mouth-breathing, blood-seeking raging insurrectionists.

        If any company could insulate itself from Trump’s agenda, it would be Apple with its “fuck you” money.

        This is cowardly and craven.

      Needs to make sure there’s a loophole for Apple production when more China tariffs hit.
