Imagine prostrating yourself to Trump in this embarrassing way. Sheesh.
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.
Bribe. The word you’re looking for
Definitely, as after this it was announced that Apple would not be affected by the 100% semiconductor tariffs.
literal fucking bribery
It’s what conservatives crave.

Tim Cook, and Apple, is supporting a pedophile. Remember that when you walk into an Apple Store, if you can afford to.
“Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago after the election, and Google donated $1 million to the inauguration fund”
So is Google and every major company
You’re right it’s both now can we fuck off with the “buh buh buh the other company!” bullshit?
Article is about Apple not Google.
On nerdy sites like Lemmy people tend to fawn over Google and they can do no wrong
And every slight Apple does is The Worst Ever
If Google does the same thing, out come the excuses. 😀

Uhhhh… What. My experience has been the literal opposite. People here hate Google
And still rock an Android phone proudly
I don’t know about “proudly.” Preferred to Apple? Sure.
Simping the worlds largest ad company is weird to me
But that’s just me 🤷🏻♂️
That may have been true a few years ago but not anymore. Google gets lots of hate on Lemmy, Reddit, and various other tech sites.
I buy pixel phones, because out of the sea of bullshit, it’s at least capable of being rooted/flash to a new os. The PinePhone sadly isn’t ready.
I don’t use apple for the same reason I don’t use fisher price as an adult. You are free to use your technology made for babies that’s beside the point. The point is that the article in discussion is about Tim Cook and Apple providing a recent bribe to Trump.
Your comment is providing no value. You are attempting whataboutism and really shows the type of person you are more than anything.
To be clear, if googl was caught bribing and someone said “buh buh buh Apple!” Id be saying the same thing. Stop sucking dick like they owe you something to take a side.
When Google bribes Trump with a 24k gold gift let’s discuss Google then ok?
So if it’s only an 18k carat gift it’s just fine? Because Google are the good guys
Is the article about Google or Apple? Really easy question for you.
real big yet you participate in society energy
I bet most of the people here replying in the comments are typing on what helped pay for that gold plated ass kissing device.
Ya but I am pretty sure Google has done a lot to help Trump. Any big tech company wants to be on the good side of Trump.
With the degree of information, and capacity to profile individuals at scale and model complex systems, Google likely knew Trump would be in the white house long before anyone else. They fired up the bribery train early on.
Exactly, they all are sucking that orange teet now.
Maybe if we were on reddit, here I really don’t think that’s true.
we’re gonna need more luigis.
I understood this reference! Probably because I, too, am a dinosaur.
i loved that show. ended so dark
Worst part was we all knew the ending but didn’t see it coming
Ready player 2!
🎮🎮
an army of them is what we need.

Whoa whoa there, slow down. You’re talking crazy. Let’s be reasonable.
The only way to get any sort of reliable data is to let BOTH camps go nuts and see which one gets more attention and results.
Wasting effort and resources on either will bring less results.
You do know that they will buy more? Legislators are a dime a dozen for oligarchs.
Because the CEOs will biy the new people. Better to off both.
Republicans don’t have the spine to run at risk of death, and elections only happen every two years meaning until then DNC would have the first real supermajority since 1979.
Tax them into the dirt, then there will never be more billionaires.
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.
reality is often disappointing.
Tim Cuck
Not a “gift”. It was a BRIBE !!
enthusiastic dick sucking noises
Release the Epstein files
Surely they will throw him in prison!
And Trump is just going to screw him over anyway, bribe or no bribe.
His name really is Tim Apple now.
Such a disgusting display. Most normal people don’t want anything to do with rapists and child molesters, yet here’s Tim.
Honestly I am pretty sure this is a bribe to exempt Apple from tariffs. Billionaires care more about their profit than children being harm. It’s the sad truth.
It’s a bribe in disguise. It’s a tribute and a public spectacle of loyalty. And the top voted comment thinks Tim is playing 4d chess with Trump…
Nothing will improve until these people are eliminated from their positions of power. Stop giving Apple your money.
Not really much of a disguise
All in plain sight. Brass and shameful. Why has this been normalize? 😡
Brass
Brash
Why has this been normalize?
Trump’s ego.
Brass
Brash
No, I mean brass: “figurative. Taken as a type of insensibility to shame: hence, Effrontery, impudence, unblushingness.” (DEFINED)
Brash would not have been appropriate (defined as “self-assertive in a rude, noisy, or overbearing way”). Tim was not rude, noisy or overbearing, but he was absolutely shameless!
brass: “figurative…”
Huh, TIL. That’s a very uncommon usage in my area.
Jesus short memories.
Apple phones have been built in by Chinese kids in buildings with suicide nets on them since the beginning.
When the fuck did Apple EVER give a shit about anything other than its value?
Maybe in the early days when the Apple II was hot on the market but idk even then. Capitalist are going to do their capitalism.
Trump has no idea what he is doing he just want free gifts like the stupid used airplane
At this point it seems like half of them became billionaires just to be the ones harming the children.
He pretty much says it, right? 'here’s a 24k gold bar… to hold the plaque we engraved your name on
“Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago after the election, and Google donated $1 million to the inauguration fund”
US oligarchs are friends with regime?
