In Donald Trump’s first term, he had Apple CEO Tim Cook over to the White House for some business or tech roundtable. Trump famously referred to him as “Tim Apple.” Unfortunately, that name stuck and there are people to this very day who call Apple’s CEO “Tim Apple.” These days, Cook is, like many CEOs, extremely worried about the Trump Tariffs and Trump’s completely sh-tty economic policies. Instead of bashing Trump, Tim Apple is slavish and sycophantic. Tim Apple presented Don Sh-tpants with a special gift in their big event yesterday:
Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook gave President Donald Trump a customized plaque with a 24-karat gold base during an Oval Office news conference Wednesday, moments before Trump announced that Apple will invest an additional $100 billion in U.S. jobs and suppliers.
Trump hosted a White House event alongside the man he once called “Tim Apple” to announce the development — which would expand Apple’s total commitment to U.S. investments to $600 billion — praising the tech giant’s efforts as “historic.”
“Apple will build the largest and most sophisticated smart glass production line in the world,” Trump said, adding that the tech company will source the cover glass for iPhone and Apple Watch products from a Corning facility in Harrodsburg, Kentucky. Pausing his speech, Trump invited Cook to come up and “show them a little bit about the product you’re going to be doing in Kentucky.”
Cook approached the desk, where he gingerly unboxed the gift: an object that appeared to be an enlarged artistic rendering of a silicon wafer, a material used to make semiconductors, mounted on a 24-karat gold base.
“It’s a unique unit of one,” Cook said as he displayed the glass sculpture engraved with the president’s name, adding that it was designed by a former U.S. Marine corporal who now works at Apple. The price of gold is currently more than $3,300 per ounce, according to Reuters.
This is the kind of sh-t that happened in medieval kingdoms – a wealthy nobleman presenting the king with a shiny piece of gold to curry favor. You think CNN and Fox News wouldn’t have thrown a months-long hissy fit if Tim Apple had presented Joe Biden with a gold-and-glass plaque? Jesus.

Tim Apple needs to go eat a bag of dicks and stop worrying about having ALL THE MONEY and go do something meaningful with his one precious life.
I have a theory that all the anti-DEI stuff from the right wing is because diverse leaders are harder to blackmail. When you stack a system with a small number of entitled creeps, you can keep them compliant by owning their secrets.
I mean black billionaires like Oprah, LeBron, Jay Z wouldn’t be caught dead schmoozing with Trump and he knows it.
No, Oprah etc just suck up to Bezos and his ilk which is supporting & enabling Trump by proxy.
True. She also gave us Oz and Dr. Phil, who was probably offered Kristy Noem’s job first.
Aw fuck and I just Googled LeBron and apparently he was dancing with Bezos in Cannes? Fuck it–cancel them all. The rich will always stick together–shared goals and all that.
Apple still has their DEI policy. They’ve been pretty public about that, even though some of their board members have pushed to vote it out.
Watching these people grovel to this man so they can get good business deals is making sick.
What secrets are in this ghoul’s closet?
Tim Apple. Mr. Japan is the prime minister of Japan. Pretty sure this is more dementia. Some people will say this is fine if it results in jobs. But wealthy CEO’s can never create enough jobs with expensive knick knacks to make up for all the jobs lost because of the Mad King’s chaotic tariffs.
I’m keeping score and voting with my $
