I’m not buying any more iPhones. I got used to them and just continued buying them. But no more.

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.
Oh, this is 100% a criminal offense for any government employee that isn't Donald Trump (or someone that he has decided to shield).
Low level government workers can't even accept someone paying for their lunch.
The same loophole exists almost anywhere: "its a gift to white house or trumps library"

It's criminal here too. But laws don't matter anymore because the "party of law and order" decided to elevate a felon rapist pedophile.

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

Now that's pathetic. Whatever happened to apple? What was even the latest cool thing they did? Seems almost irrelevant now
There's nothing cool about Apple and never was. They're just really good at advertising to people who don't understand technology. You have always been able to get the same grade of technology for way cheaper by purchasing from elsewhere.
I've been an IT professional (as a job) for over 2 decades. I have had numerous jobs and worked with a lot of tech people. I have had exactly one fellow employee that liked Apple and that dude was straight out of high school and we hired him on as an intern at first and he knew basically nothing.
Apple is good at advertising and robbing people blind. That's it.

Bribery is now not just legal, but mandatory
Just a normal day in Trumplandia. You have to suck the King’s dick to stay alive!
Emperor Cheesar accepting gold tribute from his feudal vassal
What a stupid fucking dildo. Sucking pp like that.
Such a disgusting display. Most normal people don't want anything to do with rapists and child molesters, yet here's Tim.
Honestly I am pretty sure this is a bribe to exempt Apple from tariffs. Billionaires care more about their profit than children being harm. It’s the sad truth.

Assuming that’s a 5lb paper weight base, is that ~250k$ worth??
Imagine if the CEO of one of the most powerful companies in the world didnt bend over and spread cheeks for a cock so small Donald has to... employ the services of paedos like Jeffery Epstein...?
Donald is suspected of being a paedophile. Yet people still bend the knee like this. I tell you, when it finally comes out, I hope everyone remembers who was happy to continue kissing his ass. Fuck you, Tim.
