Is that why all the unemployed Republicans are begging Trump to force companies to give them jobs?
Of course he's not the "elite", he's on the Republican ticket so of course he couldn't be /end sarcasm. Nevermind that he contributed to the Clinton foundation many years ago, even inviting them to one of his weddings. Hypocrisy in the flesh.
A Salesman elected on the premise of false hopes that he sold the public and his followers ate up, because he's for the working man. A man with absolutely no qualifications let alone substance, but drove his message through hate and fear mongering. A man born into money who's never ridden the NYC Subway system, yet he's not the "elite" because he was born in Queens? Give me a break, his childhood home is selling for 7 digits and that part of Queens is called Jamaica Estates, one of the most affluent neighborhoods in Queens outside of Forest Hills.
About the only humble thing Trump does is take a dump right after stuffing his face with Big Mac's, since he's a huge fast food lover.
"The winning candidate based his entire campaign on mainstreaming racism, xenophobia, and misogyny." Who is feeding you this crap?
No, he was making his opinion heard. Majority of the country is happy. He wasn't addressing them though.
That's right, one of them resides in Trump Tower. At least we agree on that.
This country is divided, and at the end of the day we will have to move on and accept the results, as this is the way our Democracy works. I just hope he changes his rhetoric for the sake of the whole or we're in for 4 very long years.
Think it is comical that everyone is coming out of the woodwork with these 'messages'.
If Trump lost, you can be assured that Cook wouldn't have called for 'unity' with the Trump supporters that work for Apple.

Well Tim, he's gonna grab you by the dongle if you don't make Mac Pro and another Mac desktops.

No more of this carnival-barker clown stuff. It's Mr President from now on.
The fact that is this comment is the highest upvoted in here is laughable and shows the state of the post-election mentality throughout the country.
From an economic standpoint, they are a business. They create high-quality products and are sold as such. Tim Cook's Apple is one that values diversity and equal rights, as he is himself is in a minority group. You're bringing lots to the table in your post that have little to do with Apple, and more to do with the state of America.
It's pretty simple. The CEO is trying to unify his company, at a time of civil unrest. His words, moving forward, are true and clear. Regardless of who's in office, we need to move forward together as a country.
You did not read my post! I never said we was not part of the elite in general, I said he was not part of the political elite, that he was not a racist, sexist, homophobe, bigot, etc. and there is a big difference. He has about everything he could want in life except for what goes into the history books. Now he may yet decide to behave as you wrote, but there is no reason to believe that at this point. However, you believe it because it is what your handlers and the opposition want you to believe.
You need to question some things. For example, it was democrats that had a senior member of the KKK fully supported in the party until he died just a few years ago. It was democrats that had more white than others in leadership positions until obama. It was republicans that fully supported equality during the race riots and passed the resulting laws, not democrats. Lincoln was a republican. Republicans were never the bad guys with regard to race until democrats saw that as a way to win and cover up the their real intent.
You see in Marketing 101 you are taught a few things. For example, find your biggest weakness and charge your competitors with it whether true or not. That way they cannot fight back. Today democrats are the biggest racists. In fact the current administration has promoted more racist policies than in the last 70 years. That is if you truly believe that people should not be judged based on race. It was hillary clinton that ran the smear campaign against bills female companions, totally ignoring that they had rights. It was hillary that left people to die in Benghazi. It was hillary that violated federal laws and risked our national security because she felt the need try to hide her secrets. It was hillary and bill that sold out the worst of the worst in the middle east to get rich. Even if Trump does not live up to expectations, he is still miles ahead of the known evil that exists with the clinton's. People finally stood up and said enough is enough with hillary. Now we have to wait and see if Trump is only moderately better to exponentially better.
Trump was a private citizen and if he had violated any laws anyplace at any time the democratic machine would have eaten him alive. Stop listening to the fear mongering, use some common sense, and look at what is actually happening in the world.
He started his campaign by calling Mexicans rapists and promising to build a wall between US and Mexico. He also proposed benning all Muslims from entering the US. That's not racism and xenophobia?
As for misogyny, I'm not sure he made that a basis for his campaign, but he did insult the looks of a female primary opponent, and the wife of another opponent. He said that a reporter who asked him tough questions must have been in a bad mood because "she was bleeding from her wherever." Not to mention the "grasping p***y" thing.
Gosh, it's amazing how blind some people are.
US just elected Donald Trump, a CEO of Trump Corporation as a president! Trump being a part of that same rich elite.
You don't have ground to stand on here. Unless Cook's being a Democrat, in your mind automatically means that he is not allowed to do what the Republicans do.
I don't know what republicans and democrats did during the race riots, as I wasn't born yet back then, or maybe I was just a baby. And yes, Lincoln was a republican, but what matters is what the republicans of today are doing,
And what I know is Regan advocated trickle down economics, which didn't work, and has increased the economical divide between the very rich and middle class. And from what I understand Trump advocates the same thing -- tax cuts for the rich.
Don't think you know what socialism is.
We in Europe marvel at the spleen venting about communist Democrats. Your democrats are more right wing than our own right wing parties.
You haven't a clue about either socialism or communism. And the biggest shame is neither do tens of millions of Americans.
Regardless of his policies what has trump said? Publicly makes fun of handicap people. He calls out a judge saying he can not do his job because of his Mexican heritage. Calls for a ban on the 2nd largest religion in the world from coming into the country. Jokes about sexually assaulting women. After he's accused by several women, he shouts them down calls them fat and unattractive. Calls Mexican immigrants rapist. Says john McCain is not a war hero because he was captured. Says Laziness is a trait in blacks. It goes on and on.
You want this person to represent you? It's not about his policy, whether hes left or right. Its about these hateful things he says and the fact that a large percent of people who voted for him were some how able contort them selves around these things and say that's fine I'm ok with this, I don't care that it gives a platform for people to do these things. I'm giving him my vote anyway. It's just sad.
I'm willing to bet if they had a boss that constantly said these things most of these voters would quit. If they had a friend that did they'd probably stop hanging around with them (as far as family your stuck with them and there's nothing you can do about it). Sure there are some of those voters that believe all those things he said are great, but for the others who voted for him you had a choice and are now LUMPED IN with all of them and you just gave them a platform to sell their hate.
