Performance that will not end up really happening.
Performance that will not end up really happening.
Disgusting action. Weak man.
Tim gives an apple to daddy
Just a gay man kowtowing to the leader of a party engaged in a culture war against gay people. Nothing to see here.
This move to protect shareholder value is another version of "just following orders," but by someone who has some actual power and leverage. At the end of the day, Tim Cook is complicit in fascism and shameful. While I can't effectively boycott Apple, we won't be upgrading anything as planned.
Simp Cook
Bwaaa hahaha all the Apple owning, Amazon shopping shitlibs keep finding out how complicit they've been in creating Nazi America.
Disgusting.
Is this a joke?
Bribery
Fuck you, Tim Apple.
The level of bribery so publicly demonstrated is an insult to the founding fathers. WE ARE IN A DICKTATORSHIP.
Tim Cook is the worm in Steve Jobs’ Apple.
Apple getting in on the corruption while the getting is good - for shame, Tim Rotten Apple!
this is unacceptable
Remember kids - bullying works, as shown in this example.
Guess I’m upgrading to Samsung! TBH I’ve been looking for a reason not to pay the Apple premium. Thanks Tim!
Can he be charged with bribery and corruption?
No more purchasing rotten Apples here.
Openly bribing the president on camera is very funny, what will The Onion come up with next
Gross. Glad I don't use Apple anything (though Google and Android are equally gross).
NYT: please commit corporate seppuku. At least your last act on earth will allow you to depart public life with one pathetic shred of dignity. Otherwise, you're destined to publish a puff piece on the merits of Alligator Alcatraz and how concentration camps are really humane.
Any media outlet that states how today's political climate is normal needs to be considered a #TraitorToAmericanDemocracy. Their BS helped propel this Tyrannical Regime from taking power here. It's too late as they can't change the past. History always speaks the truth eventually. Their choice.🤷🏻♀️
Arschkriecher für Trump🖕🖕🖕🖕
I love Samsung
This is so gross . Do any of these CEO’s have any integrity at all ?
You do know that most CEO's are sociopaths, right? They didn't get to where they are by loving thy neighbor.
They didn't, now they do. DEI is going down the drain, for instance.
Fiduciary duty, their only obligation is to the bottom line. They have no principles beyond that
💯
They're CEOs. Most CEOs are psychopaths.
Specifically because capitalism rewards psychopathic thinking and behavior.
As a general rule no.
MONEY IS THEIR INTEGRITY
integrity and dignity
Dignity ? By kissing the ass of an orange wanna be dictator ? Pleazzze
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I meant they miss both integrity and dignity. English is not my mother tongue sorry for that
You don't get or stay disgustingly rich by having a conscience or integrity. Welcome to the Gilded Age 2.0.
You don't get anywhere close to being the CEO of a company like Apple if you have integrity.
Hell, think of anyone you know with integrity. Would they even want to be CEO of a company like Apple?
NO
no
The only integrity is $$$, so if people stop buying apple crap or from Amazon,Uber and co. You'll might see a change from their part. But no, people has become slaves to the these guy's that look at us and are lol
No, they are a more polished version of Trump.
No. Free Luigi
They just have realized that this is the way they don't get in trouble with him.
It's a prereq
A prereq to not have any... to be clear.
No.
No, they are capitalists.
There’s no such thing as a publicly traded company’s CEO who has integrity. Once a company is publicly traded, the sole obligation of its CEO is increasing shareholder value. If they don’t, they’re replaced with someone who does. They don’t care about anything else unless it serves that end.
Would Steve Jobs have done something like that? 🙄
‼️🛑 Is this normal? ‼️The Arab plane, the golden apple, the cryptocurrency - bribes. ‼️😡 Trump is not just a criminal, he is a very greedy criminal.
I’m glad they didn’t film the actual sucking of the presidential nub.
Huawei
Xiaomi
Il est en train de torpiller APPLE comme Musk l’a fait pour TESLA . Mais comment est ce possible d’embrasser la bague aussi facilement. DON’ AL TRUMP CAPONE peut savourer ces moment là qui le renforcent encore dans son délire …
Tim Cuck
Fucking gold. Morons
Kiss the fucking ring, Cook. Bend right over. Your own brand is made at such a mark up that it can’t survive domestic production. Your profit margin exists due to slave mined metals.
Fuck off Tim.... Don't bend the knee to the Pedos
🤮
Huh. Wonder if Cook is also on the Epstein list...
Vomit.. the only reaction I can think of.
Someone explain to Tim Cook that MAGA considers homosexuality to be a mental illness. #TimApple
Tim Cook knows how to play Trump.
Actually Apple is spending $2.5 billion on making the glass front for phones and watches. The other 597.5 billion dollars are just a number for trump to shout about and massage his ego. Cook has learnt the trick of giving trump any big number to keep him happy. This is what everyone else is doing!
Don't the glass fronts have to be sent to China for assembly?
Ah! So they do!👍🫢
Paying gold bribes to child rapists.
Bet they were all stressed about a gay man who is richer than them being there and getting the better of them
Cook is just playing the game and Trump will lap it up
Is this 100 billion an extra 100 billion or part of the 430 billion they were planning on investing under Biden (2021 over 5 years) and just re-announced it under Trump? Or is the 100 billion investment an investment into automation and not American jobs? Please stop carrying this man's water. 🙄
I realize he's responsible to his shareholders but this is disgusting.
I'm so glad that I started transitioning to Linux, open-source software, and user-centered, right to repair hardware last year. Fuck apple, especially Tim Apple.
Amazing! Open-source right to repair ftw 🙌
Tim Apple - the opposite of principles and courage. Disgusting.
Dear $DEITY, Trump's face when he sees ... *GOLD* .
Gold standard für Investitionen, aber Bitcoin ist immer noch der wahre König.
Pretty soon they're all going to lick his ass in public...

Tim Cool is a pathetic cuck
How embarrassing
In most of the world we call this blackmail, in the US it's called policy
#CorruptionAtWork
I suspect a lot of the business leaders making such promises are merely telling Trump what he wants to hear with no intention of actually following through. They will wait for Trump to leave office and then say the plans have changed. Hell of a way to run a country and economy. 🤦♂️
Thinking you might want to understand the only way trump is leaving is feet first.
Works for me.
It only works for me if that happens by sunset today.
Now we don’t want to lie too much to Trump, next thing you know he’ll start lying about stuff.
Almost all federal workers are prohibited from accepting gifts like this.
Poor billionaire slave.
#timcooksupportspedophiles #timcookbenttheknee
Disgusting
Trump acts like a Mafia Boss and everyone is in. God thanks it gives more than Apple. 😈
Tim Apple is an asshole and proof that you can find idiots everywhere, even amongst the LGBTQ community.
I’m sorry to say, but now it’s time to boycott Apple.
Using a strategic initiative to make the President feel like he has something to do with Apple Strategy. Smart leaders pay lip service to the child leader.
🤮 I have no words. Listening to the way my CEO talks about all of this is borderline the same. Got hit with billions in tariffs, made a loss overall, but instead of pounding this admin with the hard truth they all tiptoe around like he’s listening, making extra sure not to openly criticize. 🤮
Sickening 🤮
🇨🇦🇺🇦🙄What a disappointment Tim Apple Tim Cook whatever the F you want to call him has turned out to be. I had to buy a new cell phone 2 months ago to upgrade to 5G & I did NOT buy an IPhone because of his ass-kissing to a despicable human being that covets sexual abusers. No moral compass apparently
What phone did you get, and how did you transfer your files from your iPhone (I'm assuming you had an iPhone) to your new phone? Was that "painless?"
I ended up getting a Samsung & to be honest i didn’t want to transfer everything-i wanted to start “fresh”. I still have all my music, photos, docs on my iPads…and I’ve made backups of everything on my PC. I have my Google Photos that I sign into on my new phone if I want to access my pics & they…
…don’t have to be saved on my phone unless I want to save them. I just want to try to keep my phone “clean & clear” for just basic use (if that makes sense). I don’t want my whole life on a phone. There are features that you can sync calendars, files, etc but again-not that worried about it…
I haven’t had time to add some of my music yet nor do I really worry about it. I really am not a fan of cell phones as they constantly remind me of how little attention people give to one another or the world around them-can you tell? But I’m really happy with the new phone although it takes a ..
…lot of getting use to in the beginning. Everything is quite different but instructions are available. Only thing I can’t stand is it won’t let you keep a phone unlocked for longer than 4 hours… It has a feature called Extend unlock… but it can still be agitating. Sorry for the long-winded response.
NAP, thanks
Idk, but is it cost effective to build the infrastructure to build semiconductors here, plus the increase in labor costs and tariffed raw materials, or just continue as is and pass on that tariff to us?
Just gross 🤮
What would Jobs have done?
Disgusting. Running out of damn companies to cease my business.
Pathetic
Apple has kissed the ring. 🤢🤮
If that were really 24 karat, it would weigh a *lot*. He's picking it up like it's made of tin. Hahaha.
Bye-bye 🍏
"Throughout history, tin-men have always sat on golden thrones because if you are nothing but a cheap tin with an inferiority complex, you try to gain value with gold!" - Mehmet Murat ildan
Trump studied Putin’s playbook well, it’s a shame America’s CEOs haven’t
I am not a Crook. I am just a Cook.
Pathetic
A mí todo este servilismo me huele a farsa, a pelotear al jefe y luego hacer lo que se quiera. Hay demasiada puesta en escena, todo muy Versallesco para un acuerdo real.
The only way back now is to fall to ruin and rebuild. This asshole delaying that by propping up the US economy on rotten wood. Apple is bleeding their staff and is going to lose the AI race.
Boycott #apple
Can someone ask Tim cook how Donald Trump's ass tasted?
24 karat gold—gaudy, no doubt.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Nauseating
Did you all notice he doesn’t bother buttoning his jacket anymore when standing? AND LOOK AT THAT BALD DOME OF HIS PEEKING OUT OF THAT RATTY ASS COMBOVER….. HE’S GIVING UP. KEEP UP THE PRESSURE.
In about two weeks, Trump will be badmouthing Cook. Those American factories will never happen.
This out of play is well played.
20,000 jobs in 4 years is not exceptional. In Trump’s first term, Apple added 31,000 jobs. In Obama’s second term, they added 40,000 jobs. I shouldn’t be the one providing this context. m.macrotrends.net/stocks/chart...
Unbelievable how Tim Cook is kissing Trump's ring!
Has there ever been a situation where GOOD GUYS have exchanged gold bars? Because what I'm seeing here is actual supervillain stuff.
Fuck Tim Cook and Apple.
What a limp-dicked loser ...
Apple might as well start closing their stores outside the USA, now that Tim Cook has knelt and kissed President Pedophiles boots! #BoycottApple
Look at how eager and interested fat boy is to get his little present. Loves shiny things.
One more reason to never buy an Apple product ever. I have been living Apple free for years. Please join me.
Ordinarily this should be illegal but we live in a post-accountability for the Executive Branch timeline.
Wipe your chin, Timmy.
The next corporate asskisser will have to present Trump with a gold statue of himself if he wants to impress him.
The Mango Mussolini is harassing & extorting yet another company, this time Intel. Republicans love it. Note that if any DEM president did exactly the same thing they would throw a conniption until their heads explode.
Tim Cook is a vile human and no one should buy Apple products.
Sucking up to Trump doesn't guarantee anything.
Astute observation
Huawei forever
🤮
Quisling worm.
disgusting this level of open corruption
Oh look Tim Cook got a gold star from a dictator
Read, “Bribed him.”
Makes me want to give up my IPHONE 📱
At one point, they at least tried to hide their corruption. In the Trump era, corruption is a to be shamelessly celebrated so the Orange One can get the displays shameless groveling he needs to fill the hole in his shriveled soul.
It’s a bribe. Call it a bribe.
I'll buy an Apple product when HELL FREEZES OVER!
I never have and never will. Overpriced, over-hyped stuff now a symbol of open authoritarian appeasement. Fuck that!
Cook debased himself here.
It’s depressing, pathetic, and infuriating to watch tech companies scrambling to kiss Trump’s ass (now Apple, seriously?). But I cannot avoid being surprised by the fact that that guys like Trump and Musk seem to want nothing more than to be surrounded by a court of sycophants feeding their egos.
What the fuck
Video of Tim Cook and Don Cornholio concluding their visit 🫤: youtu.be/DTtpWgrhS78?...
Open corruption
Another reason I don't use Apple products.
yes - check out that wonderful Carrier plant here in Indiana - Oh it was never built - get real and stop propagating trump and his cronies LIE LIE LIE LIES
Why are you still considering the orange fascist liar pedophile a normal politician? Are there no more Journalists at NYT?
The base doesn’t look close to gold
Tim Cuck
Yea, that's just bribery. Pathetic.
Crime pays. Top down.
Lining up behind the dictator
And this is why I will continue to boycott any Apple products. Fuck him.
I believe this is called "tribute".
WTF Tim Cook 🤬 all these so called powerful & smart people acting like they’re kneeling at the foot of Jesus. Disgusting!
Trump to Announce Additional $100 Billion Apple Investment in U.S. f the nyt gift link
I’ve bought my last Apple product ever. FU Tim Cook.
Did you swallow too Tim?
Amazing how quickly the US has slid in to an oligarchy. All the while supported and enabled by news outlets like the New York times.
Suck ups
all that zillionish paychecks, all those tera-stock-options plan, enough to live hundreds of affluent lives, and still not able to avoid this kind to self-humiliation. Pitiful.
Fighting liars with lies and bribes is no way to run a business.
clown cuntry
I'll rewrite the quote 'We are providing stupid gifts of gold to this pompous fool so he'll go bother someone else'
Is the west now openly more corrupt than the rest of the world .. ?
Tom Cook makes me ill.
Tim Apple with the bribes
I've never been a fan of Apple but if I was it would be the last Apple product I ever bought.
I'm satisfied I've never purchased an overpriced Apple product - zero regrets especially now.
Never again I'll take CEOs like Cook for serious.
And assembly will still be dene abroad ..
done**
s.o. still likes to buy apple products?
#FuckApple
I have to go take a shower. The gross capitulation, and worse, the shit grin of mob boss, Grump, (grifter+trump) is sickening. I might have to go to some flip phone and I definitely want to dump my computer. #Epsteinfiles
Senator Menendez goes, so that’s how you are supposed to take the gold.
Back to android I go
That’s a shame, Tim. Gifting this 🤡? Why??? 🤯🤦🏼♀️
this fffking country. 🤦
Another bribe! These people have no morals. Just so trump will stop talking about iPhone being made in the US!
Just what trump needs another phone’🤬🤬
How can Cook praise trump when trump and his maga cult are going after the LGBT community. How two faced can you be Cook!
What a fucking ass-licker, all silicon valley in the hand of a fucking fascist.
They've learned how to play this man like a fiddle
On the bottom: “Made in China”
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
Congratulations Tim! You’ve single handedly diminished the Apple brand by personally associating with and bending the knee to Dumpsterfire Donnie. What the f**k were you thinking… Apple will from here on in be associated with a fascist regime…
I am devastated. I was a believer, going back to the beginning, when Apple went public with the Macintosh in 1984. This famous commercial seems so ironic now. youtu.be/VtvjbmoDx-I?...
I wonder if Cook was choking on his apple………
To be polite, please F@ck right off Tim Cook and #Apple. You had choices. This phone I’m using is a sunk cost and paid off, once it’s given up the ghost, android.
I've never owned an Apple product and laugh at everyone that vastly overpays and now carries a symbol of capitulation to authoritarianism in their pocket. The new Tesla!
Sadly… (yeah).
That's fake, the new iPhone will not have only 2 but gazillions of cameras.
Help! The lizard people are performing and showing off again!

Ass kissing aside, it is a good idea to transition semiconductor manufacturing to the US. There is a serious risk that semiconductor manufacturing could become entirely controlled by China. I know Biden started the CHIPs act, but I do think that act paired with these tarrifs could be effective…

@nytimes.com don't you mean "The Child Rapist tRump publicly accepts yet another bribe."
If Apple and Google would just pay their fair share of U.S. taxes everyone could get a tax cut.
Bribes won't deviate from the fact that Trump's in the Epstein files as the pedophile he is.
I hate to use this word because it is so dramatic but Tim Cook is a cunt. The absolute epitome of a cunt.
An asshole gives another asshole a present!!!
Fucking ballsuck 😖
They’re not going to do that. They want to outlive the trump presidency. There’s zero legally binding details
Did the Iraq war-lying and Cheney Bush mass surveillance news-suppressing New York Times bother to note anywhere that this is a bribe?
Could this be more pathetic? Just look at the shitty smiles on the faces of Trump and his goons. They have something big on Cook and this public capitulation is part payment for it.
Yeah ok 😉
Imagine if people like Tim Cook stood up for their country instead of auditioning to be a court jester. #Apple
How much is his personal wealth growing?
Samsung phones it is! Fuck Apple and Tim Cook!!
Samsung also donated to Trump's inauguration fund. There are no good multinational corporations. It's always useful to remember the corporate "person" is by nature a sociopath who isn't capable of thinking long-term.
Yeah, there all bad, but there is a difference between private donations and public boot throating, contributing to the propaganda and normalizing fascism. But I'm a apple hater so...
Buy fairphone! Reparable, with the highest level of transparency on minerals, components and manufacturing. Not perfect but by far the most ethical choice right now. shop.fairphone.com
I never heard of them! Thank you for sharing.
Good point.
So, who do we buy a phone from?
Major corporations can’t have morality. Don’t consume more to stick it to them just consume less.
I love my Android phone and PCs. This is so disgusting. Boycott Apple. Stop the monopoly. Restore your integrity.
Well, that about seals the deal for me; I sure as hell won’t be buying any Apple products after this.
He'll love that gold ticky tacky.
Disgusting
Don’t condemn Cook until we know the golden gift isn’t going to explode
Goodbye, Apple.
