I`m sure they`re not fans of each other. Tim has to leave politics aside. His job is to do what`s best for shareholders. Trump doesn`t want to tax Apple to death or he`ll be seen as anti-business.

Damn, poor Tim. I couldn't do his job.

Mind you, I read it wrong, I read it as 'Cook will highlight multiple ways for him to get an education'.

Good. The cancel culture is a cancer. Even people with differences need to learn to respect each other and get along.
I disagree and very much easier said than done. You keep well away from people like that. If you are sincere to yourself, there is no way that you can 'get along'.
 
This just shows intelligent people can put their political differences aside and get along. Both Cook and Trump have excellent business sense and this shows by their success.

yeah, you mean two rich guys get to ignore very real consequences because almost nothing they decide will have a negative impact on either of them

That assumes one side is not lying constantly, though.
 



Apple CEO Tim Cook is in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum conference and he plans to attend a breakfast with U.S. President Donald Trump, reports Bloomberg.

Cook and IBM CEO Ginni Rometty will brief Trump on a new campaign designed to highlight the multiple ways to get an education.

?Tim Cook and Melania and Donald Trump? in August 2018

Cook has attempted to have a cordial relationship with Trump, and recently took Trump to tour Apple operations in Austin, Texas, but there have been tensions between the two due to an ongoing trade dispute with China and more recently, Apple's refusal to unlock the iPhones used by Florida shooter Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani.

Ahead of the breakfast with Trump, Cook on Tuesday met with the prime ministers of Finland, Spain, and Croatia, but it's not known what was discussed.

I assume that's sarcasm(?) If so, ROFL! Because, of course, Trump is probably the poster child for world's WORST businessman. Pretty much every endeavor has failed (or been a sham, like Trump U). His real estate "development" business is just selling his name to put on buildings built and managed by other companies. Now, he has been successful at marketing his name! But his hidden tax returns would reveal astounding losses for most of his businesses, and the silliness of his claim to be a "billionaire"!

My favorite description of Trump is "he's a poor man's idea of a rich man"
 
From the looks of things against Trump, “ Tim Apple “ probably only has to put up with Trump for another 12 months.

How does one go bankrupt multiple times with multiple billions of dollars? You have to actively try to do that because some of that set aside earning interest almost makes that impossible.

Hopefully Trump will continue to pressure Tim Apple to pay their fair share of taxes in the USA.
Tim Apple has no control over where the international operations are located for tax purposes. That’s a board-level decision, and it’s driven by international laws and tax rates.

whats wrong with tim cook lol? does this dude know how to smile like a human being?
If you had to take a picture next to a lying, thieving, con artist, you might be gritting your teeth too.

Mr. Apple has to put up with this because he’s Apple’s CEO. Under other circumstances, Cook wouldn’t be caught dead standing next to him.

Lol you do know Trump inherited his wealth from his dad. Trump himself has a history of business failures and nearly went bankrupt.

He's kissing the TrumpRump.

Apple and Tim aren't about activism, or being "woke". It's all about cash, baby.
