Gay man gives gift to anti-lgbtq president.
Just proves that you can be gay and still be an absolute parasite billionaire. Fuck your pride apple watch bands.
Peter thiel, the architect behind Vance and trump and bilderberg and palantir, is also gay.
So gay, he had his former lover killed.

vance who is also mostly closeted too. peter thiel defenestrated his model bf.
we're gonna need more luigis.
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
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.
This is my own conjecture, but I'm willing to bet that playing nicely with Pres. Trump somehow saves Apple billions more in lost revenue to tariffs and legislation because Trump rewards those who are on his good side. I'm also willing to bet Tim / Apple is pressured to do this and has a very different attitude behind closed doors. Not that this excuses anybody for their actions, but it's clear they're trying to game the system the best they can in the name of "business".
Keeping our morals behind closed doors is what's wrong with the world.
Almost like it's a completely bullshit excuse, like "just following orders".
Crime isn't suddenly okay because it's profitable, no matter how much capitalism wants you to believe it.
Such a disgusting display. Most normal people don't want anything to do with rapists and child molesters, yet here's Tim.
Honestly I am pretty sure this is a bribe to exempt Apple from tariffs. Billionaires care more about their profit than children being harm. It’s the sad truth.
And I can't even accept a gift voucher due to anti-bribery rules? Fuck off.
you can't even accept a bottle of water while waiting to vote! the rules are different for us and them.
Do stocks go up from such a cringe-move?
Apple stock did, and unfortunately it even makes sense why. Considering how self-centered Trump is, and how easily swayed he can be by a literal shiny rock being given to him, this was probably a legitimately good trade for Apple.
They spend some money on a gold brick with some laser-cut glass, and the president of the entire country either gives them preferential treatment, or simply doesn't take any more extreme actions he was planning to take against them.
This is why when the whole media world rushed to protect him when he came out of the closet as gay was total and utter bullshit. He wasn't brave and he doesn't give one hot damn about the gay community clearly.
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.
Oh, this is 100% a criminal offense for any government employee that isn't Donald Trump (or someone that he has decided to shield).
Low level government workers can't even accept someone paying for their lunch.

“The move comes after Trump threatened to place a 25% tariff on Apple’s iPhones made overseas and in the face of a potential 100% tariff on semiconductors.”
Pussies
When you're rich and powerful as fuck but still bend the knee to a felon rapist pedophile.
All of America's most "powerful" people are little fucking bitches. Little bitches are calling the shots and representing us to the world. Jesus Christ how pathetic is this country going to get?
Conservatives: Hold my beer.
Time to boycott Apple just like everybody decided to boycott Target and Amazon for bending over.

I’m not buying any more iPhones. I got used to them and just continued buying them. But no more.
His name really is Tim Apple now.
Smells like an opportunity to cause Apple brand damage.
So, where are y'all going to hang your mandatory Trump portraits?
So, where are y'all going to hang ~~your mandatory~~ Trump? ~~portraits~~
An apple shaped hole in a CD? He just presented Trump with an A-Hole award.
