“Apple CEO Tim Cook plans to donate $1 million to Donald Trump's inauguration fund, reports Axios. The donation will be a personal donation directly from Cook rather than a donation from Apple”

I’ll defend Apple as being the least shitty of the big tech giants but I can’t defend this.

Didn't trump call him Tim Apple?

It's less than .05% of his worth. It's like us dropping pocket change in the Red Cross bucket and he'll make more than that in profit from changes the bribe paid for from the great cheetoh.

A rich white cis gay man backstabbing trans people?

This never happens, I'm shocked!

You can defend settler colonialism?

They’re all “donating” the same amount.

And also this is the largest inaugural fund in history. In comparison to his previous which was $107m this is so far over $150m.

Considering Bidens and both of Obamas were between $50m and $70m is this not ringing alarm bells with anyone? Or is this something to “look” in to in like 7 years time when no one gives a shit.

Beggars belief.

This is how things are going to work going forward.

Even if it is illegal, these people are above the law. Internet just exposing obvious corruption.

No matter how much money they spend on this party they're still celebrating putting a convicted con man in the White House - whoopeee! - while the chumps who voted for him say, "What... my meds aren't covered anymore?"

Congratulations on flushing your country down a solid gold toilet, "conservatives".

Way to go, Tim Apple

I guess it was that or a blow job.

Meh, I was never going to buy their shitty crap anyway.

I've been boycotting Apple since 1997
