      Time to boycott Apple just like everybody decided to boycott Target and Amazon for bending over.

        It’s like nuclear weapons

        Unless everyone gets rid of them nobody will

        Being the only one not to “bend the knee” will just hurt you if everyone else kisses his ass

          Imagine if the CEO of one of the most powerful companies in the world didnt bend over and spread cheeks for a cock so small Donald has to... employ the services of paedos like Jeffery Epstein...?

          Donald is suspected of being a paedophile. Yet people still bend the knee like this. I tell you, when it finally comes out, I hope everyone remembers who was happy to continue kissing his ass. Fuck you, Tim.

            All the people that surely criticized Musk at the time, would surely not criticize cook this time, because Apple fans... They have it in their hands

                  Apple stock did, and unfortunately it even makes sense why. Considering how self-centered Trump is, and how easily swayed he can be by a literal shiny rock being given to him, this was probably a legitimately good trade for Apple.

                  They spend some money on a gold brick with some laser-cut glass, and the president of the entire country either gives them preferential treatment, or simply doesn't take any more extreme actions he was planning to take against them.

                      I guess Trump didn't like the rimjob from Tim the first time.

                        OK let me play devil's advocate for a moment: it's the only language he speaks. You must stroke his ego, and give him an opportunity to look down on you.

                        Of course it's still corporate cronyism.

                            A set of shiny keys dangled in his face so he forgets about demanding a US-made Iphone.

                                In other countries this would be a criminal offense. For example in Austria: if the value of the gift is above 50000€ , it's 6 months - 5 years; if over 300k€ it's 1-10 years of prison.

                                    Apple's Tim Cook donated $1 million personally to Trump. Not Apple Inc, Tim Cook. And now he's donating this as well. These are not the same.

                                          Article is about Apple not Google.
