Tim is smart. This is exactly how to survive your shit president, America. Bend him over and kiss his ass, and you’ll survive.

Plot twist: It's loaded with spyware to gain leverage over Trump and blackmail him.
Gay man gives gift to anti-lgbtq president.
Just proves that you can be gay and still be an absolute parasite billionaire. Fuck your pride apple watch bands.
Peter thiel, the architect behind Vance and trump and bilderberg and palantir, is also gay.
So gay, he had his former lover killed.

Tim Cook, and Apple, is supporting a pedophile. Remember that when you walk into an Apple Store, if you can afford to.

Giving him a literal gold bar (though disguised as a stand) is stereotypical buying El Presidente in a Banana Republic bullshit.

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.
This is my own conjecture, but I'm willing to bet that playing nicely with Pres. Trump somehow saves Apple billions more in lost revenue to tariffs and legislation because Trump rewards those who are on his good side. I'm also willing to bet Tim / Apple is pressured to do this and has a very different attitude behind closed doors. Not that this excuses anybody for their actions, but it's clear they're trying to game the system the best they can in the name of "business".
Keeping our morals behind closed doors is what's wrong with the world.

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.

Bribery is now not just legal, but mandatory
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.

“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
This is why when the whole media world rushed to protect him when he came out of the closet as gay was total and utter bullshit. He wasn't brave and he doesn't give one hot damn about the gay community clearly.
I guess I'm the only one who sees this as "here little Donald, now play with this and let me do my job".

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

Emperor Cheesar accepting gold tribute from his feudal vassal
Now that's pathetic. Whatever happened to apple? What was even the latest cool thing they did? Seems almost irrelevant now
The latest cool things they have done: they've stopped being whiny little bitches & made their iPhones USB-C, with pressure from the EU. They've finally adopted Google's RCS messaging protocol, which should allow Apples & Androids to play nicely together in texting.
Both of these things were massively overdue; they were being arrogant & childish for years...
Last but certainly not least: iPhones 15 & up (I think) have FREE "satellite messaging". If you're out in bufu & you've got no signal, simply put your iPhone out with a clear view of the sky...and your text messages will be relayed, received via satellite. This is a safety feature, not everyone knows it's a thing, and personally I think it's very, very cool.
T-Mobile should also team up with Starlink so all T-Mo customers should get free satellite text messaging. Should. But modern iPhones have free emergency text messaging here & now; that's worth more than any "Trust me, bro, it's totally coming".
