Imagine prostrating yourself to Donald Trump in this public and embarrassing way. Sheesh.
literal fucking bribery
Lmao I hope it’s fake or thinly plated gold on a lead base
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
Like in the grapefruit technique video.
His name really is Tim Apple now.
So, where are y’all going to hang your mandatory Trump portraits?
So, where are y’all going to hang
your mandatoryTrump?portraitsi kinda like how they dealt with gaddafi. i think thats the way to go.
And start practicing goose stepping for the invasion force parades.
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
Cook isn’t handling it like solid gold though (it looks too light). I bet it’s 24 karat gold plated zinc.
You might be right. Looks light indeed for true gold.
Sounds like the US’ chickens coming home to roost. After creating those conditions with their CIA elsewhere for decades.
I’m not buying any more iPhones. I got used to them and just continued buying them. But no more.
You going to get the Trump phone, right!?
Of course he has his own phone. Let me guess, it randomly charges your account and you can’t cancel the plan?
Lmao actually this is accurate. If I can find the article again I’ll share it
Lol, thanks for the chuckle.
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.
Seems like someone is worried about tariffs on iPhones. Sadly, this will probably work too.
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.
In other countries this would be a criminal offense.
Dialing 911 and telling my local constabulary that the President is doing crimes. But then they just laugh at me and say “We’re all doing crimes! It’s the innocent people who get thrown in jail.”
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.
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.
