Apple CEO Tim Cook bends the knee to Donald Trump with a golden Oval Office gift & $100 billion pledge

He doesn't bend the knee, he bends the rules in his favor. This isn't a pledge of allegiance, this is an investment he expects to make a profit out of.

At what point is all this backroom deal making called EXTORTION?

How embarrassing for Apple.

"Bends the knee"

This is litterarly how busisness works in a corrupt state.

You pay to be able to continue doing business, this is reality, you pay tribute to the lord/king/emperor, they grant you the freedom to operate as you want.

I don't see this as Tim or Apple liking Trump or even agreeing with him, just paying to keep operating as they have in the past.

Alexis De Tocqueville called all of this nearly 200 years ago.

Such a loser. (Both of them.)

He gave trump a glass CD with an apple cut out. Sounds really cool Tim.

An apple shaped hole in a CD? He just presented Trump with an A-Hole award.

Makes me feel even better about buying Samsung
