'Trump cut such a great deal that after talking to #timcook I said the company would now "even up." We don't know WTF he meant by that, but it's highly unlikely a reference to its stock price.

For those wondering why #TimCook & @zuck paid #DonaldTrump millions of dollars in “dinner fees,” this is the reason.
But I am not sure what #Trump will do besides issue more economic crushing tariffs.
US calls EU fines on Apple and Meta 'economic extortion' https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/us-calls-eu-fines-apple-meta-economic-extortion-2025-04-23/
How influential was Apple's CEO in getting President Trump to exempt smartphones and laptops from his tariffs on China? According to a new report, Cook spoke to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and other senior White House officials last week “about the potential impact of the tariffs on iPhone prices.” Perhaps most importantly, Cook “refrained from publicly criticizing the president or his policies on national television.” Read more at @9to5mac. #Tariffs #iPhones #Apple #TimCook #Tech #Technology https://flip.it/j71JxA

It's a shame that Tim and Mark can't race to save our country from fascism, instead of just measuring their dicks with augmented reality glasses.

A ‘US-MADE iPHONE’ IS PURE FANTASY
Just as well for Tim “I gave Donnie a million bucks” Cook that his good buddy Trump has cancelled the tariffs on iPhones from China (no connection at all between that reversal and Timmie’s donation, no sir…), because he couldn’t start making his overpriced fanboi hardware in the USA any time soon. Or ever.

@thetnholler.bsky.social Definitely NOT purchasing anything Apple for the foreseeable future. Tim Apple should not be rewarded for his behavior. I didn't replace my last iPhone for seven years, and will do the same if I can again. #USpol #TrumpEnabling #Apple #TimCook
I’ll say it again. Tim Cook is a trash human endorsing the worst of capitalism.

He’s a gay man selling out the LGBTQ community by shaking hands with a fascist who is rapidly eradicating any and all legislation to respect and protect gay folks.
Why? SOLELY because $54 billion in cash reserves (16th in the world) isn’t enough for Apple:

@notjustbikes Yup, a public company can, and absolutely should be held accountable for what it tolerates its CEO doing in their private capacity.
#Apple, for example, is absolutely fine with its CEO #TimCook giving a million dollars of his own money, so that a rapist could have a nicer presidential inauguration party.

- Try to boycott #Google, there are other search engines. #SergeyBrin, co-founder of #Alphabet, which owns Google, #Gmail, #Android, and #YouTube. #DuckDuckGo, for example, has been recommended by a supporter.
- Boycott #Apple Products! #TimCook, CEO and major shareholder of Apple, donated to Trump’s inauguration and is reported to have developed a "personal relationship" with Trump.
- Don’t shop at #Walmart! Walmart, owned by the ultra-rich #Walton family, pays its employees so poorly that many of them are on food stamps.
