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?
Yeah.
It fucken worked, didn’t it?
It’s like when I want to get my cats in from outside. They don’t want to come in of course so I have to shake the bag of treats, when they come in they give them like five even though clearly they would like the entire packet.
They never learn.
Sounds like your cats have you well trained :)
Not stupid if it works. Something else is.
They really know their audience.

Tim Cook is a piece of shit.
any relation to Tim Apple?
Has anyone seen Tim Cook and Bono in the same room?
Well, idk. But Apple gave away U2 albums or whatever, dindey?
Plus, last I heard, Bono was dethroned as the record holder by some guy in a small city in, like, Colorado or something
Apple speaks Trump fluently.
when i thought Apple couldn’t get less cool… they thought differently and proved me wrong
That’s one of the nicer participation trophies I’ve seen
A few nice words and a $15 shiny object is all you need to curry favour with the current President.
Can someone ask him for free college education and healthcare in America, presenting him a golden stethoscope or golden book-shaped award?
Just for this everyone should reconsider buying any Apple products. Tim Apple is such a disgusting and nasty person, and then he started licking the predators ass. Fuck him and fuck American companies.
Tim Apple knows how to play the game and win
He sure knows how to suck dicks. That’s not a win for democracy though.
Democracy doesn’t get any wins anymore. That part of the voyage is over.
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.
For the class in the back cronyism is capitalism.
Keep buying your Apple products, guys.
suck-up
Was the statue at least US made?
No. Was cheaper do do it overseas.
Allegedly the gold came from Utah, and the glass from somewhere else in the US.
yea, sure, just like everything else… tell me though, is this US that “makes” things in here with us right now?
Since when did the word “statue” now also mean “trophy” and/or “award”?
I’m also confused like you. Looking at the pictures in the article and the others at The Verge it appears to be a trophy or award like you get for employee of the year not a “statue”.
Commemorative disk?
Bought my wife an Apple device a few years ago, now that m sickened that I helped pay for a small piece of this.
