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.
Bribe. The word you're looking for
Definitely, as after this it was announced that Apple would not be affected by the 100% semiconductor tariffs.
You're kidding, right? Right?
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?

Tim Apple has turned into such a disappointing bootlicker.
it's fascism, all CEOs bend down.
no person with principles against fascism would never become a CEO, basic human decency is bad for the investors
There was once a time when a small company built out of passion could elevate a normal guy into CEO, so as recently as 30-40 years ago you could still have some decency at the top. As the barriers to entry have shot upward, today to become a C-level you get an MBA and carefully scrape out your soul as part of your "leadership" education which has nothing to do with the widgets your company will produce, and everything to do with fellating the shareholders.
It's sad because I grew up in an era when a guy could still get ahead by being sharp and having good ideas, but now it's only by Playing The Game. So those of us with morals are stuck with low earning potential because of it.

And Trump is just going to screw him over anyway, bribe or no bribe.
Keep bending down and kiss the ring, Tim. You're not low enough, keep going...
Don’t understand how this isn’t criminal in America.
It is. Except that the law doesn't protect people. People protect the law. If a law is there on paper, but no one will enforce it, then it isn't a law. It's just some words on paper.

This almost makes me wish I still used Apple products so that I could boycott them.
Ive been Apple free for 20 years though.

Would Steve Jobs done the same?
bet steve wouldn't even answer the phone call. he was a bit egotistical, lol, and i doubt he'd have patience for trump's bullshit regardless of the consequences.

US oligarchs are friends with regime?
Lmao I hope it's fake or thinly plated gold on a lead base
I can't watch, the cringe is overpowering.
Just a normal day in Trumplandia. You have to suck the King’s dick to stay alive!
What a stupid fucking dildo. Sucking pp like that.
The real Tim Apple
