Tim Cook designed and delivered a custom award to Trump.
Which looked like a gold-plated turd, but Trump likely can’t recognize that with his absence of taste. Apple so obviously could make something better-looking that I’ve had a solid chuckle seeing that shit, and my opinion of Apple hadn’t moved. In exchange for that piece of crap they’ve gotten Trump to lay his mitts off tariffs on what Apple needed, so sounds like a job well done to me. It’s not Apple’s business to topple an idiot that stupid USian public elected.

The turd was just the icing on top of the shit cake dude. They gave that jack off millions of dollars.
Welp, then I guess you’re the type of customer they fully deserve.

How many millions did they give? I know of the one million for the inauguration. Do you think one million is much money for either Apple or Trump?

I mean ideally I wish nobody would give Trump money, but I believe it was understood at the time that if you’re running a large tech company and you want it to still exist after the Trump inauguration, you give him a million dollars as a present. Hence why they all did it, million dollars each.
Kinda shit situation to be in where the incoming president can just fuck everything up for your trillion dollar company out of spite, so the million dollar bribe suddenly seems like a literal cost of doing business, no different from taxes or material costs.
Of course as someone who is NOT running a trillion dollar company, it would’ve been more hilarious to see them all reject Trump and then squirm.

Such argument, very informative, wow. Maybe don’t attempt an argument if you don’t actually have anything to say.
