Imagine prostrating yourself to Trump in this embarrassing way. Sheesh.
Tim Cuck
Not a “gift”. It was a BRIBE !!
Smells like an opportunity to cause Apple brand damage.
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
There was once a time when a small company built out of passion could elevate a normal guy into CEO, so as recently as 30-40 years ago you could still have some decency at the top. As the barriers to entry have shot upward, today to become a C-level you get an MBA and carefully scrape out your soul as part of your “leadership” education which has nothing to do with the widgets your company will produce, and everything to do with fellating the shareholders.
It’s sad because I grew up in an era when a guy could still get ahead by being sharp and having good ideas, but now it’s only by Playing The Game. So those of us with morals are stuck with low earning potential because of it.
ish. but if there are shareholders, the CEO is replaceable. and principles aren’t good for immediate profits.
that makes him a fascist.
This almost makes me wish I still used Apple products so that I could boycott them.
Ive been Apple free for 20 years though.
And I can’t even accept a gift voucher due to anti-bribery rules? Fuck off.
US oligarchs are friends with regime?
And Trump is just going to screw him over anyway, bribe or no bribe.
Bribe. The word you’re looking for
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.
Would Steve Jobs done the same?
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.
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
Cook isn’t handling it like solid gold though (it looks too light). I bet it’s 24 karat gold plated zinc.
You might be right. Looks light indeed for true gold.
Sounds like the US’ chickens coming home to roost. After creating those conditions with their CIA elsewhere for decades.
He is kissing his as so gently.
