I’m sick of powerful people / companies kissing his ass, but I can’t deny that this is a smart move for getting out from under his disgusting gaze.

    Lol! Trump wants a thing. They don’t want to do it. So, they toss him something shiny to make him forget the thing he wanted?

    It’s the other way around. Apple gave Trump a golden statue so he can kill off all their competitors. They no longer have to compete with their branding or products. It’s not smart, it’s just lazy, greedy and against any shred of decency. It’s not even capitalism, it’s plain corruption and proudly doing it in the open.

      This is capitalism. In that system the money is the important part and so how you get it mostly doesn’t matter. Corruption is part of it, and they use the money to make sure the laws that would punish them don’t exist.

    Hey, uh, what the fuck? Why the fuck are companies giving the President of the United States Golden statues like he’s some sort of Middle Eastern Dictator?

      Because he’s some sort of middle eastern dictator. Figurehead of a religion of intolerance and hatred, concerned almost entirely with wealth derived from fossil fuels, utterly irredeemable personality.

      Because he’s pretty much that. Idk about the middle eastern part. (Why did you even include that phrase, are you racist? There are dictators in Europe, South America, North America, all parts of Asia, idk how Australia is nowadays.)
      But he’s definitely a dictator.
