Imagine prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this public and embarrassing way. Sheesh.
I don’t get why people are NOW saying he’s trying to appease trump. He’s been doing it for years. He was front row at his inauguration right next to other billionaires.
enthusiastic dick sucking noises
His name really is Tim Apple now.
So, where are y’all going to hang your mandatory Trump portraits?

I’m not buying any more iPhones. I got used to them and just continued buying them. But no more.
Giving him a literal gold bar (though disguised as a stand) is stereotypical buying El Presidente in a Banana Republic bullshit.
I had to look it up: 24 karat is the purest form of gold. So yeah it’s a gold bar 100% lmfao
Sounds like the US’ chickens coming home to roost. After creating those conditions with their CIA elsewhere for decades.
Seems like someone is worried about tariffs on iPhones. Sadly, this will probably work too.
Now that’s pathetic. Whatever happened to apple? What was even the latest cool thing they did? Seems almost irrelevant now
Didn’t you watch the video? They turned a gold bar into a “stand.” Truly revolutionary, Tim apple.
Wait for the price tag on the upcoming golden monitor stand.
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.
Not sure if you know this but I find it fun to know so I’m going to share.
In English when deciding whether to use a or an you should look at the start of the following word and if it starts with a vowel sound then use an else use a.
Examples:
- An apple
- An hour (note doesn’t start with a vowel but sounds like a vowel)
- A goat
- A criminal offence
An hour
Note, this can differ by region. For example, “an historic …” is common in the UK, whereas it would be “a historic …” in the US due to accent differences.
aaah i know this and normally don’t make this mistake, thank you very much tho, i will fix it right away 🫡
The same loophole exists almost anywhere: “its a gift to white house or trumps library”
A gold bar gifted to an institution would still count as corruption in most sane jurisdictions. Sure those loopholes exist, but we tend to disguise them as investments or charity.

Bribery is now not just legal, but mandatory
A set of shiny keys dangled in his face so he forgets about demanding a US-made Iphone.
Gift? You mean bribe.
Yes this is a bribe. Period.
OK let me play devil’s advocate for a moment: it’s the only language he speaks. You must stroke his ego, and give him an opportunity to look down on you.
Of course it’s still corporate cronyism.
Yeah the real story here should be hey everyone, look how transparently easy it is to manipulate the President of the United States
Cost of doing business in a country ruled by a dictator who LOVES shiny shit
I guess Trump didn’t like the rimjob from Tim the first time.
