I am always struck by the way he pretends to accept these ludicrous displays as genuine and sincere. Here he betrays the lie by thanking the good people of Kentucky.

I'm embarrassed that I ever respected Tim Cook.

There are several individuals and institutions I used to respect that simply disgust me now, especially given how it’s well known that Trump simply caves to strong resistance. If he sues, he fails. Why does anyone suck up to that man?

He fancies himself a King, He behaves like a King and he is treating democracy as if he is a King. He fits the criteria of being a King, And that ain't a good thing.

How embarrassing all around. They're feting him like a king.

OMFG!!! Make it stop!!!

ready for any mess

Whores will have their trinkets.

While murica bleeds!

Fuck Tim Cook. What a piece of shit cock sucker. Times like this I wish Steve Jobs were around. He definitely would not have bended the knee to Trump.

translates to ‘here take this really meaningless trinket and don’t enact those tariffs on India’

F@cking Tim Apple?????

Maga "masculinity'...

Spanky made him swallow after the presentation. 😎

The President of the USA is the easiest mark on the planet.

like it would be so cool if people would do this shit to convince him to do one thing that DIDN'T suck, you know. he's so easily bought.

This isn't about Trump, the asshole. This is about the complicit cowardly CEO and leaders in this country not calling out the corruption by our commander in chief. Sickening. Just sickening. Tim Cook,go straight to hell.

Turns my stomach. All the money in the world, all the freedoms to speak up and speak out, and he chooses to suck ass. Just pitiful.

The reality is Tim Cook is no Steve Jobs. In 20 years, no one will remember who he is, much as no one much remembers who Steve Ballmer is.

both!

I believe that exceeds the $25 gift price limit.

If I were Tim Apple (I wouldn't have done this), I would have done this privately.

What a loathsome display.

Like, how many showers do you take after a moment like that?

Disappointing

It saved HIM millions upon millions in tariffs, though!

Is this really the alpha male behavior MAGA is talking about?!?!

Since he stole that trophy, people have started to see how much he likes shiny trinkets.

Steve Jobs would neva

Just what the oval office needs, more gold.

I mean, if it gets Trump off Apple’s ass and means they don’t get prosecuted for not firing all the brown engineers or something, sure, whatever, give the toddler his 24 karat pacifier.

Pathetic 🤡🐷💩

it's been a longstanding feature of both trump administrations that he will do literally anything you ask in exchange for about 20 minutes of ass-kissing

🤮🤮🤮🤮

Shareholder meetings will now consist of “have we bribed the president yet?”

Jesus.

Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, awards adjudicated rapist and suspected child rapist a 24k gift

Guess he's on the list, too.

It would be terribly embarrassing if everyone added 'Epstein' or 'Pedogate' to their Bluesky handle

Hopefully it has a very special chip in it just for Donald.

They both thing they’re manipulating the other, not the other way around.

This is how Cook will always be remembered.

Stock is up.

He’s an embarrassment to his LGBTQ brothers and sisters that Trump is targeting.

Maybe cook is being obsequious in order to get tariffs on iPhones lifted

They are disillusionary.

Is anyone from senior Apple executive in BlueSky. Tim Cooks not… how do we non Xers show our discust?

Makes me want to throw out my iPhone!

Goddammit, Apple, WTAF.

I'm not sure if Steve Jobs would have kissed Trump's ass or not. Ah, who am I kidding? He was a marketing guy; he'd do it in a heartbeat.

Vomit !

I think Tim Apple is trying to thread a needle here. While I’m sure he’s doing it in the best interests of his company, if he misses his mark there will be lots of people that are smart enough to extract themselves from the Apple ecosystem without impacting their lives.

stop buying apple products

Googles no better so if you don’t buy from one knee-bender you buy from another

www.opensecrets.org/orgs/apple-i...

Heres a hint Trump was 7 of 8

Here’s another interesting thing

Setting a whole new level for both obsequious and pathetic -nesses.

Disappointed in Tim Cook

Remember the mothers and fathers, the innocent children, widows and orphans, the disabled and helpless, those seeking shelter and refuge, who reach out to you and to their fellow human beings looking for mercy and compassion🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Pathetic and disgusting

Tim Cook is a MAGAt a despicable vile human 😳

Who’s got a “golden cheeseburger??” We could get him to stop sending $$ and weapons to Izzzreel.

Tim Apple is on the list now.

I'm so glad I refuse to buy Apple products. Love my Android phone and PCs without feeding the dick-tator.

This is so he doesn't have to build a manufacturing plant in the USA.

He's from another age and didn't get the memo that gold is no longer fashionable. Really shows how out of touch he is

Boycott. Boycott this capitulant bullshit. Boycott Vichy Apple. #BoycottVichyApple

Who knew Cook was president of the Log Cabin Republicans? FFS, Jony Ive should have taken over after Jobs.

This is when he truly became “Tim Apple”. He shall be referred to as henceforth. Or Pervy Pres’s Little Bitch works too.

They only care aboit money

"Ooooh … for me?" — Putin's Cock-holster just before he refilled his diaper.

The fact that it’s working so well

I’m from Kentucky and I do not endorse. This is truly disgusting 🤮 🚫KY Approved 🤮2️⃣5️⃣4️⃣7️⃣

It's all just gross.

Fuck Apple too

Both

Of course it worked. He’s obsessed with gold.

Sick F*ing bastard!

The only good thing about him is that he inspired the name Tim Onion

Narcissistic personalities need to feel special all the time.

But it's never enough.

Nope, it’s like being addicted to drugs- you need more and more drugs to chase that high.

That’s how Hitler came to power by having the capitalists kiss the ring of Der Führer.

Tim Cook is the most pathetic gay man in America

*Tim Apple

Frightened men with tiny 🥒. Bet he's on the list.

why does this shit work so easily on Trump. Its like buying ice cream for a 5 year old to shut them up

Have you seen his buildings? He is a poor mans version of a rich person. That why he likes gold so much, he thinks that's what rich people are supposed to like.

like i am genuinely in awe at how a human being like trump can exist. did his brain stop developing at 8 years old?

Yes.

I mean, he's obviously suffering from some sort of advanced mental decline, combined with his catastrophic narcissism. He's been surrounded by yes-men for his entire existence, so he just assumes that everyone wants to kiss his ass.

It makes me so fucking sad that he’s going to die without ever experiencing the shame and failure he so clearly deserves. That fascist pedophile fuck is going to live a consequence free life. Apparently God and Karma are fiction after all.

It doesn't have to be this way. 💕

Ever seen this famous "Twilight Zone" episode? It's an allegory of Trump, filmed when Trump was just a child himself.

Do we have to pick a winner? Can't we have both being equally pathetic...in the name of democracy?

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

This will make quite the trophy when the people retake the White House

All billionaires are getting into the ass kissing orgy around Trump. Anything to give themselves more money and more favors. Really sick.

Prediction: “building in America” means “sealing the clamshell here” for Apple but they maintain the right to blackmail any other company that buys a single resistor from overseas, primarily ones less able to fight back

I hate when I’m locked in to a whole ecosystem of products and then their execs pull nonsense like this.

Same!

One advantage is that they tend to last a long time. So I haven't had to buy a new Apple computer in a LONG time.

That said, if your choice for phones is Apple's CEO ass-kissing Trump or Google (who gets a 100 billion a year from Android), who's... well... evil, it's not a LOT of choice there.

The phones...don't. There's a reason I keep buying Android, and it isn't my love of the system or any brand.

I dunno. I'm, like, 6 gens behind and it's fine. Still running on an old XR I've had since 2018.

Mine is bricked.

Ugh. Any idea how? Know anyone nearby with a mac? Might be able to unbrick it with Apple Configurator. If you wanted to sell it on the 2nd hand market or something.

It was a 6, and they stopped supporting it in 2018 or 19, and the last update the 6 could download absolutely bricked tf out of it. To the point that the apple store was like, "Yeah, you're going to have to get a new one. We can't fix that."

That's awesome. How generous of them. I unbricked my 5. It CAN be done if you want to fiddle. But at this point, the 2nd hand market for anything beyond 2 generations old for ANYthing is so minimal, it's not going to be worth the hours put in unless there's something you NEED off the device.

I should add that part of the problem is that the goddamn thing stopped talking to the cloud, so I couldn't log in.

I'd actually like to USE the device. I hate Samsung, which is what I'm currently using.

I don't need the newest thing.

Last a long time? The phones are practically single use

Proud to say I have bought an apple product and most definitely never will. Absolutely and truly disgusting.
