Cook gave Trump a custom gold trophy. Spineless ******.

The video is so cringey and embarrassing too.
Trump's infantile and self-aggrandizing personality is historically influenceable via such techniques.

So, it's also smart.

Makes me nauseous.

He is the CEO of a company. A president has been elected and will be in office for next 4years still, during which Apple may need his help with issue faced with foreign governments.

It's not spineless, it's his job to act in the interests of the company

So Apple is just straight up admitting, in front of the nation, that the current government blatantly operates on bribes.
A president was elected on a very specific mandate.

Aside from a few things, Trump did say what he was going to do. And that included Tariffs and pressuring US companies to move manufacturing home.

It's what the people voted for and Apple knows this.

Oh please. We all voted for this blatant corruption?
Lesser of two evils?
What was the other evil, exactly?
