Apple CEO Tim Cook gives 24-karat gold gift to Donald Trump
-
Such a disgusting display. Most normal people don't want anything to do with rapists and child molesters, yet here's Tim.
Honestly I am pretty sure this is a bribe to exempt Apple from tariffs. Billionaires care more about their profit than children being harm. It’s the sad truth.

I bet most of the people here replying in the comments are typing on what helped pay for that gold plated ass kissing device.
Ya but I am pretty sure Google has done a lot to help Trump. Any big tech company wants to be on the good side of Trump.

You’re on Lemmy and haven’t heard the word of our lord and saviour Linus Torvaldes?
Sadly real linux (not android) is not a good mobile option yet, though is progressing rapidly.

Imagine prostrating yourself to Trump in this embarrassing way. Sheesh.
I guess I'm the only one who sees this as "here little Donald, now play with this and let me do my job".

I already hate Apple products, so I can't not buy them to make a statement about not supporting fascist loving corpo scum.

I think it's that and also more and all of it is wrong and disgusting.

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

Look at this move from a purely business perspective:
Give the toddler a shiny toy, toddler plays nicely.
And oh my fuck it's such a cheap gift from the war chest of Apple's bajillions. The real story is the Trump is too stupid to be insulted!
Been screaming for years, "PLAY this narcissistic fool!" Just wish world media and politicians and celebrities would get in the game. He's a CHILD! PLAY HIM! Instead we got world leaders rolling over. Heysus.
Nah, not hating on Cook for making an hilariously logical move.

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.

trump loves anything that has gold on it, also its not solid gold because it would be too heavy for him to handle.

Exactly, they all are sucking that orange teet now.

I'm typing this on a Lenovo laptop keyboard (V14 series, the plastic casing is just a catastrophe near the lid hinges, though I've seen the same with the magnesium casing, it has plastic parts inside).
I've also pirated some Apple TV attempt at Foundation episodes, but honestly felt like The Arc. Sci-Fi with some right initial ideas, but ultimately thoroughly idiotic.
In case of Apple TV's Foundation, I couldn't help thinking that they were trying to make it "look expensive" and "feel elitarian" similarly to their products, first priority, make it feel "diverse" and in social interactions representing a certain prestigious set of political ideas, second priority, make it feel nuanced and intelligent more than be nuanced and intelligent, third priority.
Honestly even with 90s Apple stuff virtualized I feel something bad, like nausea, I wouldn't be able to use it probably. Too much visual design flexing.

It's all public spectacles. These people are there not for the money - they are there to make a point, that being that their ideas of authority are what we all must obey.
Preventive obedience, lack of mandate borders, authority not requiring justification, a demand for justification being itself disobedience, implicit trust to authority, and so on.
These are all people who'd be not very respected or listened to in any normal kind of group. They dreamed of getting to a position where they will be, due to hierarchy. And that's an abuse of any system, so they are hostile to any immunity mechanisms detecting and fixing such an abuse.
So the whole point is in them taking power and showing us all that it's their rule and their time and it works like some thief feudalism with spectacles of loyalty, spectacles of cruelty, spectacles of stealing and getting away with it and demonstrative abuse of any legal principle.
I respect Cato institute people very much, they somehow manage to say this same thing without my emotion in their various materials.

It's not solid gold because anything solid would be out of character for Apple. Note also the surface texture.

Jesus, just pull his fly down and give him a blow job already.
Probably got bored of that
