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.

Smells like an opportunity to cause Apple brand damage.
Giving him a literal gold bar (though disguised as a stand) is stereotypical buying El Presidente in a Banana Republic bullshit.
I had to look it up: 24 karat is the purest form of gold. So yeah it's a gold bar 100% lmfao

Tim Cook, and Apple, is supporting a pedophile. Remember that when you walk into an Apple Store, if you can afford to.
“Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago after the election, and Google donated $1 million to the inauguration fund”
So is Google and every major company

And I can't even accept a gift voucher due to anti-bribery rules? Fuck off.
you can't even accept a bottle of water while waiting to vote! the rules are different for us and them.
When you're rich and powerful as fuck but still bend the knee to a felon rapist pedophile.
All of America's most "powerful" people are little fucking bitches. Little bitches are calling the shots and representing us to the world. Jesus Christ how pathetic is this country going to get?
Conservatives: Hold my beer.

“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
Tim Apple has turned into such a disappointing bootlicker.
it's fascism, all CEOs bend down.
no person with principles against fascism would never become a CEO, basic human decency is bad for the investors

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.

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.
Oh, this is 100% a criminal offense for any government employee that isn't Donald Trump (or someone that he has decided to shield).
Low level government workers can't even accept someone paying for their lunch.

Bribery is now not just legal, but mandatory
Tim Cuck
His name really is Tim Apple now.
I’m not buying any more iPhones. I got used to them and just continued buying them. But no more.

And Trump is just going to screw him over anyway, bribe or no bribe.
Keep bending down and kiss the ring, Tim. You're not low enough, keep going...
This almost makes me wish I still used Apple products so that I could boycott them.
Ive been Apple free for 20 years though.
