Apple CEO Tim Cook gives 24-karat gold gift to Donald Trump
-
It's a bribe in disguise. It's a tribute and a public spectacle of loyalty. And the top voted comment thinks Tim is playing 4d chess with Trump...
Nothing will improve until these people are eliminated from their positions of power. Stop giving Apple your money.
Not really much of a disguise

On nerdy sites like Lemmy people tend to fawn over Google and they can do no wrong
And every slight Apple does is The Worst Ever
If Google does the same thing, out come the excuses.

Uhhhh... What. My experience has been the literal opposite. People here hate Google

Imagine prostrating yourself to Trump in this embarrassing way. Sheesh.
I don't get why people are NOW saying he's trying to appease trump. He's been doing it for years. He was front row at his inauguration right next to other billionaires.

Now that's pathetic. Whatever happened to apple? What was even the latest cool thing they did? Seems almost irrelevant now
Didnāt you watch the video? They turned a gold bar into a āstand.ā Truly revolutionary, Tim apple.

Cost of doing business
Dude. We know.

This is a bit like mark rutte calling Trump ādaddyā. Itās completely inconsequential in actual reality but still feels so entirely wrong. And I donāt even know who should be most embarrassed, the bootlickers or Trump for being transparently narcissistic that everyone realizes bootlicking works
This is not inconsequential at all, it's literally a bribe

His name really is Tim Apple now.

Not sure if you know this but I find it fun to know so Iām going to share.
In English when deciding whether to use a or an you should look at the start of the following word and if it starts with a vowel sound then use an else use a.
Examples:
- An apple
- An hour (note doesnāt start with a vowel but sounds like a vowel)
- A goat
- A criminal offence
An hour
Note, this can differ by region. For example, "an historic ..." is common in the UK, whereas it would be "a historic ..." in the US due to accent differences.

So, where are y'all going to hang your mandatory Trump portraits?

All in plain sight. Brass and shameful. Why has this been normalize?

Why has this been normalize?
Trump's ego.

Iāll bet those boots taste disgusting.
Just like $100 dollar bills, if you're lucky, you might even get a little cocaine with it.

āThe move comes after Trump threatened to place a 25% tariff on Appleās iPhones made overseas and in the face of a potential 100% tariff on semiconductors.ā

Will you stop using Google products, including Android and YouTube or are you just a hypocrite?
Oh yes, let me protest this thing that just happened by throwing my Android-OS phone that I bought years ago away. That'll show 'em.
You're just as disingenuous and stupid as the morons on the right who smashed their Keurigs.
FYI, my next phone will probably be a Linux phone anyway and I hardly use YouTube at all these days, and when I do it's with AdBlockers on, and I never gave a cent to them for premium, so I cost them money to use their platform if anything. If PeerTube or some other non-Google video hosting service could go mainstream, I'd use that in a heartbeat. I've de-Googled my life as much as I could reasonably be expected to, and this was before their CEO kissed the ring. So fuck off with your judgemental attitude.

No, I mean brass: "figurative. Taken as a type of insensibility to shame: hence, Effrontery, impudence, unblushingness." (DEFINED)
Brash would not have been appropriate (defined as "self-assertive in a rude, noisy, or overbearing way"). Tim was not rude, noisy or overbearing, but he was absolutely shameless!

Wait for the price tag on the upcoming golden monitor stand.

The same loophole exists almost anywhere: "its a gift to white house or trumps library"
A gold bar gifted to an institution would still count as corruption in most sane jurisdictions. Sure those loopholes exist, but we tend to disguise them as investments or charity.
