I agree. Definitely.
However, your money actually just went to Trump, via Apple, and their hardware and services.
And it would go to him if I bought an android.
In pretty sure Xiaomi don't pay Trump. But, you never really know.
What we do really know, is Apple do. Spending with Apple is spending with Trump, guaranteed.
So are a lot of other companies.
And, we can try and avoid them. Or, we can pay trump through them.
There are so many android manufacturers that wouldn't even spit in trumps direction. The choice is there. It can be taken. Or, we can shrug, find excuses, and just give Trump our money through apple (in this example).
Yes, this is bigger than just phones. PLENTY of other combines donated to him.
You are avoiding those companies too, right?
What a great picture 😃 and true on so many controversial topics…
