Wonder if Apple will fund money for these also.
Do we really need a Arc de Triomphe/Trump here when people are starving?
God, he's such a moron! Is the bottom magnetized? If so, let's hope it doesn't get wet.
I don’t ever want to hear Apple SJW-CEO Tim Cook virtue signaling ever again. He is choosing to have Apple donate money to a vanity project for a man, Donald Trump, who is arming and funding a literal genocide in Gaza.
I truly hope history judges the genocidal state of Israel as harshly as Nazi Germany, and also forever condemn the politicians like Trump who armed and funded Israel, as well as the billionaire businessmen like Cook who financially supported Trump while he was supporting a genocide.

You are gravely mistaken. There is a genocide going on right now in Sudan ... Gaza not so much. There you have a war started by a real genocidal government, Hamas, whose only reason to exist is to destroy the state of Israel in order to install a fundamentalist Islamic regime. So, no, terrorism against a civilian population for political purposes, which is exactly what happened on October 7, 2023, should not be inverted to somehow criticize a government for acting to defend it own citizens.
Also, Where's the outrage when Christians get slaughtered in Sudan? There is none. The reason is apparent and made clear by invoking Nazi Germany as a mean to compare action conducted by a Jewish country in self defense. The allegation is so overtly over the top and unfounded factually or historically ... it crosses the line into becoming passive aggressive form of antisemitism, which is commonplace today among the radicals in the United States, Islamists, and European elitists (who incidently have a clear and accomplished history of Jew hatred) that are terrified of alienating their own violent Islamist populations.
His first allegiance is to shareholders. If he can a avoid imports taxes by donating a few million to assuage an old man then so be it. Many politicians, of both parties, want to stay on the the side of Israel.
Yes, Christians are backing Trump? He's cheated on his wife with a porn star, raped a woman, and tries to prevent needy humans from getting court ordered food help (snap). GMAB
I understand why Cook did this, but I hate it. The question is do I want Apple to go in the opposite direction, sure. I remember when Apple products were so expensive I was not able to purchase any Apple product.
Do I say that ever? No. Or did you just inject that into the conversation for your own reasons? Yes. The answer to your question is that Christians back Trump, Biden and everything in between (or beyond). Please stop characterizing people based on religion and making assumptions about group politics. It's just not right.
No way should Christians back Trump. He is the worst president ever and is so sacrilegious it's pitiful. In a short time, he's going to be a pariah on the US (if not already). People are going to pay for his crimes and ********.
So proud of our President. First President to forgo his salary.....can any of you say that you are giving up your salary to benefit others? And now he is spending at least $200 million of his own money to add a ballroom for state dinners to the White House so dignitaries don't have to freeze in tents or get their feet wet when it rains. Chances are that it won't even be finished while he is President, so it's pure altruism. Perhaps all Americans should just say "thank you".
I did not realize I was speaking to the Pope or perhaps a priest or pastor. Apologies, and with all due respect, the comments about other people being sacrilgious for casting a vote doesn't exactly vibe with major tenets of Christianity. See Colossians 3.13, Ephesians 4:32, Romans 14:1 & 15:1, James 4:12, Peter 2:17. Pot ... kettle ... black ... or something like that.
Please. Here's something from the Pope himself:

You are shamelessly spreading fake news again. The pope never said that.

Fact Check: Pope Leo XIV didn't say Trump 'chose the road of darkness, bitterness and lies' - Yahoo News Canada
"His words mislead, his attacks divide, and his greed for power is tearing this nation apart," Pope Leo XIV allegedly said of Trump.
Well, he might not have but he thought it. Trump is so pathetic and you defend him. Unbelievable.You are shamelessly spreading fake news again. The pope never said that.

I’m only interested in the truth. Descent human beings don’t lie and slander others just because they hate them.
You’re literally describing what Trump does constantly.
So you are no better than him if you are relying on the same tactics. Got it.
He got billions from the crypto guy he pardoned (even if from his sons involvement). Also, so many ceos have contributed to him that the $400,000 salary is peanuts compared. Trump is not contributing with his own money for the ballroom, as well.
Thank him for what? Building a ballroom while millions of Americans worry about feeding themselves because he failed to fund the government?
You can do what I did: cancel your Apple subscriptions, I cancelled my Apple one subscription, and gave them feedback as to why and what it would take to get me back. Apple capitulating to the dictator ahead of time is so gross, nothing he has done has been done through legal means, he’s bypassing congress and laws and orders put out by judges when they catch him breaking laws. We need to pull our $ from the companies that support or bribe the one that wants the bribes. Seriously, look at what is behind this administration, and you’ll see they are purposefully trying to dismantle our democracy and institute authoritarianism… fundamentalist authoritarian “Christians”, Mormons, who believe God is not in a democracy, and that this country was founded by Christians, and also white nationalists are behind this administration.
