Apple CEO Tim Cook gives 24-karat gold gift to Donald Trump

i loved that show. ended so dark
I've only seen a fraction. Did it end with a global environmental catastrophe? That was ignored because of profit?
-
So, where are y'all going to hang your mandatory Trump portraits?
And start practicing goose stepping for the invasion force parades.

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.

Low level government workers can't even accept someone paying for their lunch.

What if he's on the list and doesn't want his name coming out.
Tim Apple is gay... I'm not aware of any reports of Epstein trafficking boys, but it would not be at all surprising.

Yeah that is not how dictatorship works. He is vending a knee
He is vending the knee
I hate when I try to buy the knee, and it gets stuck in the machine...

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
Didn’t you watch the video? They turned a gold bar into a “stand.” Truly revolutionary, Tim apple.

“Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago after the election, and Google donated $1 million to the inauguration fund”
Cost of doing business
Dude. We know.

This is a bit like mark rutte calling Trump “daddy”. It’s completely inconsequential in actual reality but still feels so entirely wrong. And I don’t 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 I’m 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 doesn’t 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.

All in plain sight. Brass and shameful. Why has this been normalize?
Brass
Brash
Why has this been normalize?
Trump's ego.

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

“The move comes after Trump threatened to place a 25% tariff on Apple’s iPhones made overseas and in the face of a potential 100% tariff on semiconductors.”
Pussies
