Imagine prostrating yourself to Trump in this embarrassing way. Sheesh.
Gay man gives gift to anti-lgbtq president.
Just proves that you can be gay and still be an absolute parasite billionaire. Fuck your pride apple watch bands.
Peter thiel, the architect behind Vance and trump and bilderberg and palantir, is also gay.
So gay, he had his former lover killed.

It must be nice to be so rich that you can fit an entire living room set in your walk-in closet.
Well fuck, Clarence is basically a black white supremacist.
Class is the only identity that matters to them
No war, but the class war.
Smells like an opportunity to cause Apple brand damage.

Bribe. The word you’re looking for
This almost makes me wish I still used Apple products so that I could boycott them.
Ive been Apple free for 20 years though.
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.
And I can’t even accept a gift voucher due to anti-bribery rules? Fuck off.
you can’t even accept a bottle of water while waiting to vote! the rules are different for us and them.
Giving him a literal gold bar (though disguised as a stand) is stereotypical buying El Presidente in a Banana Republic bullshit.
Not a “gift”. It was a BRIBE !!
Tim Apple has turned into such a disappointing bootlicker.
it’s fascism, all CEOs bend down.
no person with principles against fascism would never become a CEO, basic human decency is bad for the investors
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 🤷🏻♂️
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
I bet most of the people here replying in the comments are typing on what helped pay for that gold plated ass kissing device.
Time to boycott Apple just like everybody decided to boycott Target and Amazon for bending over.
Google gave $1M to him
Will you boycott Google products too?
In other countries this would be a criminal offense. For example in Austria: if the value of the gift is above 50000€ , it’s 6 months - 5 years; if over 300k€ it’s 1-10 years of prison.
Not sure if you know this but I find it fun to know so I’m going to share.
In English when deciding whether to use a or an you should look at the start of the following word and if it starts with a vowel sound then use an else use a.
Examples:
- An apple
- An hour (note doesn’t start with a vowel but sounds like a vowel)
- A goat
- A criminal offence
