Not just the most corrupt president in history, but the most gauche and tasteless as well.

He's boot licking super hard because he knows as soon as Trump finds out all of their products (except for that box) is made in China, Apple is cooked

[–] rhvg@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Licking boots is not enough, he has to lick it with style.

Who knows maybe that gold is fake or just gold plated. That would be funny

[–] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

Apple did patent a process to use as few gold molecules as possible to create 24k gold, IIRC, back when they were designing the first Apple Watch.

It'd be hilarious if it was brass plated lead.

So where did China import the box from?

[–] rhvg@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Brazil, Amazon.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

Trump really wants him to move production to the US

Apple is trying literally everything to please Trump

Apple is cooked

Hahaha, it will suck to be Tim Apple that day

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

As soon as that happens he should blurt out "Zuckerberg speaks Chinese! Could be a spy!"

How much self-loathing does Tim Cook have as a gay man coddling up to Trump, knowing that the orange fuckwit would happily have him thrown in a concentration camp for his sexual orientation if not for his billions of dollars.

[–] Draces@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Not as much as when Trump does it anyway

This looks so bizarre; like a petitioner trying to court the favour of the king at the royal court (no pun intended)

Stop buying overpriced Apple shit

[–] mnhs1@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yes, I actively decided to get rid of all my Apple products. I'm currently on Android and I want to get into Linux with a second-hand laptop. I'm so done with Apple, the biggest hypocrites. I'm sure they'll now remove their Pride and Union washed wallpapers..

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 17 points 2 weeks ago

Keep buying iPhones. That'll stick it to the man.

Waiting for the penny drop when they give access to the backend.

[–] butwhyishischinabook@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

What a pair of insufferable pieces is shit. Worthless, degenerate parasites.

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago

Bribe. A gold bar is not a gift.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

He is so desperate for Trump to be reasonable

[–] faizalr@fedia.io 6 points 2 weeks ago

What a waste.

Trump topped Big Tim

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

Even came in an apple box 😭
