<p>“It’s a unique unit of one,” the Apple CEO said at the White House, adding, “designed by a U.S. Marine Corps corporal.”</p>
He doesn't bend the knee, he bends the rules in his favor. This isn't a pledge of allegiance, this is an investment he expects to make a profit out of.
"Bends the knee"
This is litterarly how busisness works in a corrupt state.
You pay to be able to continue doing business, this is reality, you pay tribute to the lord/king/emperor, they grant you the freedom to operate as you want.
I don't see this as Tim or Apple liking Trump or even agreeing with him, just paying to keep operating as they have in the past.
At what point is all this backroom deal making called EXTORTION?
Never, so long as America remains a fascist dictatorship cosplaying as a Democratic Republic.
How embarrassing for Apple.
Such a loser. (Both of them.)
Happy cake day!
Alexis De Tocqueville called all of this nearly 200 years ago.
An apple shaped hole in a CD? He just presented Trump with an A-Hole award.
He gave trump a glass CD with an apple cut out. Sounds really cool Tim.
Makes me feel even better about buying Samsung
