Look at this move from a purely business perspective:
Give the toddler a shiny toy, toddler plays nicely.
And oh my fuck it's such a cheap gift from the war chest of Apple's bajillions. The real story is the Trump is too stupid to be insulted!
Been screaming for years, "PLAY this narcissistic fool!" Just wish world media and politicians and celebrities would get in the game. He's a CHILD! PLAY HIM! Instead we got world leaders rolling over. Heysus.
Nah, not hating on Cook for making an hilariously logical move.
Nah, it would have been way better (especially for literally everyone else) if they didn’t play at all.
Instead all the greediest people are realizing they can do this and they get all the things they want (so does Trump, along with more power) and it’s only at the expense of the entire American population (and the rest of the world too).
Fuck Cook. It isn’t clever. It’s literally greed. It’s not even that other people haven’t thought to do this, it’s that you have to be a total piece of shit to do this.
trump loves anything that has gold on it, also its not solid gold because it would be too heavy for him to handle.
It's not solid gold because anything solid would be out of character for Apple. Note also the surface texture.
