Not just the most corrupt president in history, but the most gauche and tasteless as well.

He's boot licking super hard because he knows as soon as Trump finds out all of their products (except for that box) is made in China, Apple is cooked

[–] rhvg@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Licking boots is not enough, he has to lick it with style.

Who knows maybe that gold is fake or just gold plated. That would be funny

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago

Apple did patent a process to use as few gold molecules as possible to create 24k gold, IIRC, back when they were designing the first Apple Watch.

It'd be hilarious if it was brass plated lead.

So where did China import the box from?

[–] rhvg@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Brazil, Amazon.

Trump really wants him to move production to the US

Apple is trying literally everything to please Trump

[–] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 6 points 2 months ago

Apple is cooked

Hahaha, it will suck to be Tim Apple that day

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

As soon as that happens he should blurt out "Zuckerberg speaks Chinese! Could be a spy!"

How much self-loathing does Tim Cook have as a gay man coddling up to Trump, knowing that the orange fuckwit would happily have him thrown in a concentration camp for his sexual orientation if not for his billions of dollars.

[–] Draces@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Not as much as when Trump does it anyway

This looks so bizarre; like a petitioner trying to court the favour of the king at the royal court (no pun intended)

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Stop buying overpriced Apple shit

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Keep buying iPhones. That'll stick it to the man.

This bootlicking for Trump isn't unique to Apple, you do know that, right?

Waiting for the penny drop when they give access to the backend.

[–] butwhyishischinabook@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

What a pair of insufferable pieces is shit. Worthless, degenerate parasites.

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

Bribe. A gold bar is not a gift.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

He is so desperate for Trump to be reasonable

[–] faizalr@fedia.io 6 points 2 months ago

What a waste.
