Apple CEO Tim Cook Explains His Relationship With Trump

[I7guy]

I’m guessing someone who would disagree with that is the woman who Trump raped twice at Epstein’s parties when she was 13 years old, telling her before he raped her that he was sexually aroused because she looked like his daughter.

And that is the kind of man that Tim Cook chooses to associate with.

Well a citation would be nice or it didn’t happen. Some credible evidence and not third party hearsay would also be welcome. And also some charges from the justice system would help.

And yes, sometimes you gotta do what other people may not like. I admire Tim that he probably laughs at some MR posts.

Got it. Unfortunate unsubstantiated hearsay. There is a conceptninnocent until proven guilty but some posters believe that doesn’t apply equally across the board.

Got it. Unfortunate unsubstantiated hearsay.

Just throwing out legal terms you don't understand to create FUD? The direct testimony of the alleged victim isn't "hearsay". And the claims were corroborated by sworn statements from another witness.

Could be a setup. Unless prosecuted and convicted innocent until proven guilty unfortunately FUD lives everywhere are you noted.

 

[BaldiMac]

Could be a setup.

Sure. Or the president is a rapist and pedophile who threatens and pays people off to get what he wants. All of which is consistent with what we do know about him.

But it's neither "unsubstantiated" nor "hearsay" despite your attempt to dismiss it out of hand.

Or it’s a setup. Despite your attempt to frame the president a certain way, and your attempt to insinuate he’s guilty because he paid people off, it’s still innocent until proven guilty. No amount of snark is going to make that go away.

 

[BaldiMac]

You already said that. I agreed.

Despite your attempt to frame the president a certain way, and your attempt to insinuate he’s guilty because he paid people off, it’s still innocent until proven guilty. No amount of snark is going to make that go away.

No, it's only "innocent until proven guilty" in a court of law. OJ was a murderer regardless of the fact that the jury correctly found him not guilty in court.

But to be clear, I don't know if the president guilty or not. I just find the complaints to be consistent with we know about him through court cases, testimony of people who worked with him, and, most damning, his own public statements.

Apple CEO Tim Cook Explains His Relationship With Trump

Tim Cook’s relationship with Trump should be legally investigated because there is evidence that Trump’s relationships with other CEOs has enabled Trump to do insider trading.

If Cook has in any way provided Trump with information that allowed Trump himself or the Trump crime family to do insider trading, then Cook should be put on trial, then fined and imprisoned to the fullest extent of the law.

Watch the first two minutes of the following video for news about Trump’s relationships with CEOs being for the purpose of insider trading:

 

[HuskerNKS]

So you want to do exactly what the "Trump crime family" does and accuse people and indict them without cause or proof just because you don't like someone.

Just sayin...

Here's an example of one of the many times where Apple SJW-CEO Tim Cook was virtue signaling his support for feminism:

https://twitter.com/x/status/1501210219963109381

And yet Cook goes out of his way to spend his time with and give millions of dollars to a rapist known as Donald Trump. Trump not only has raped adult women, but also has raped underage girls. Trump was also close friends with Jeffrey Epstein, who in addition to raping adult women and underage girls (one of his victims was 9 years old), was a human trafficker of adult women and underage girls.

Cook's hypocrisy is off the charts.

We live in a country where you are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. You don't know for a fact that Trump did these things. Proof, or it didn't happen.

Tim Cook: Why I Fired Scott Forstall

Tim Cook explains his decision to fire Scott Forstall, shedding light on Apple's leadership dynamics.

My favorite line "add it all up and you get a decent picture about why Forstall was out. He wouldn't collaborate with other people at the company, he was political, and he couldn't admit when he was wrong."

That last bit sounds a little like someone we all know.

 

[turbineseaplane]

and he couldn't admit when he was wrong.

This is honestly a long time culture problem all across Apple.

Yeah, it sounds like Steve Jobs.

That line, "He wouldn't collaborate with other people at the company, he was political, and he couldn't admit when he was wrong," is a very fitting description of both Steve Jobs and Scott Forstall. Those three characteristics are indeed negative in certain ways, but they led to Apple's peak in terms of innovation, product quality, and user-friendliness. Regarding Jobs's refusal to collaborate with other people, in the 1980s during the development of the Lisa and the Macintosh, Jobs refused to collaborate with other people to develop newer iterations of the Apple II and instead wanted to develop the Lisa and the Macintosh. Regarding Jobs being political, he was fired from Apple from for being political by trying to orchestrate a coup to try to oust then-CEO John Sculley. Regarding Jobs being unable to admit when he was wrong, there's the Lisa (which flopped), the Apple III (which had heating issues due to Jobs opposing a cooling system), the G4 cube, Antennagate, etc.

But the most important thing to keep in mind was that Jobs was a net positive to Apple in terms of doing what is best for customers. The same is true of Forstall.

The same is not true of Tim Cook. Cook does not have those three characteristics of refusing to collaborate with other people, being political, and being unable to admit when he was wrong. But Cook is a net negative to Apple in terms of doing what is best for customers. Cook is a net positive to Apple in terms of doing what is best for shareholders, but not for customers.

 

[HuskerNKS]

I am a big fan of Steve Jobs. He had many successes, as you note. A few failures as well that ended up leading to future projects. Newton = iPad. Progress is not a straight line and sometimes it takes a laser focus to get the right thing done. Agreed on that.

On Tim Cook, how do you account for the fact that in late 2011 (when Jobs stepped down), Apple had ~250 million active devices. Today, Apple has roughly 2.5 billion active devices. Obviously Cook and team have done something right for customers or active devices would stall out or start going down. Tim Cook has been a great steward of Apple and its customers for a very long time. Most of the world is not the over-opinionated tech enthusiast. People buy the best products for their use cases. That is, for many, still Apple.

Yeah for Antennagate, “here’s a case for your troubles”.

But the most important thing to keep in mind was that Jobs was a net positive to Apple in terms of doing what is best for customers. The same is true of Forstall.

Not according to Tim Cook. But you’re energized to your opinion.

The same is not true of Tim Cook. Cook does not have those three characteristics of refusing to collaborate with other people, being political, and being unable to admit when he was wrong.

Not true.

But Cook is a net negative to Apple in terms of doing what is best for customers.

Again objectively incorrect.

Cook is a net positive to Apple in terms of doing what is best for shareholders, but not for customers.

Objectively not true. Not pleasing customers leads to a blackberry situation.

Proof or it didn’t happen.

I fully support a justice system where people are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

As for Katie Johnson, who alleges that Donald Trump raped her at Jeffrey Epstein parties, I am far more inclined to believe her than believe Trump. There are two reasons for that:

1. Although I don't know for a fact that she is telling the truth about Trump raping her, I do know for a fact that other rape victims (with no connection to her, Trump, nor Epstein) who have proven their victimizers guilty in a court of law by giving indisputable proof, have spoken of their situation and their vicimizers' actions in similar ways to how she spoke of her situation and Trump's actions.

2. Trump is one of the most frequent liars in history. That is not my opinion, but rather based on the research conducted by The Washington Post, which has been owned by hardcore Trump supporter Jeff Bezos since 2013. (Bezos donated millions to Trump, including funding the pro-Trump documentary movie Melania. Bezos's Amazon paid $40 million for the rights to the Melania and a follow-up docuseries. Additionally, Amazon spent $35 million on marketing and theatrical distribution, meaning Bezos paid $75 million.) The Washington Post reported that President Trump lied 30,573 times during his first term.

Correlation does not equal causation.

 

[ThomasJL]

Correlation does not equal causation.

I agree that correlation does not equal causation. But President Trump has been recorded lying 30,573 times in just his first term alone, whereas Katie Johnson, who has not been proven to lie nor to tell the truth, speaks in a manner similar to other rape victims who have been proven to tell the truth. None of that is evidence that Trump is lying about not raping Johnson, and none of that is evidence that Johnson is telling the truth about Trump raping her, but it is grounds for an investigation and a trial.

Trump has blocked the full release of the Epstein files, as well as hiring sycophants (like Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, and others) to prohibit further investigation into the Epstein files, as well as to put obstacles in the way of Trump himself being investigated and put on trial.

And that is the kind of man that Tim Cook supports through donations of millions of dollars to and fraternizes with.
