Why is Apple posting this on X? Given the huge amounts of fake news, propaganda and adult content on that website. It seems strange Apple wants to be associated with that.

USA has a lot to deal with on a national level and I hope DT has the will for it. Certainly doesn't seem so from a europeans perspective. If not, it will be a sad 4-year episode watching it going down the drain.
 
The alternative is to embrace change. But yeah, the royal you is more than welcome to be negative and/or bury your head in the sand - won’t affect my optimism.
I knew the opposite of optimism is pessimism; and thought we were reaching Bizarro World territory. I then learned there is such a thing as negative optimism. " A negative optimist is someone who is optimistic about the potential upside of an opportunity, but also realistic about the risks and challenges involved".

Change for the better is though. And we’ll see how much of his promises in the inaugural address is done. Which by the way was excellent.
Yes, renaming the Gulf of Mexico and invading the Panama Canal is surely change for the better. What a wonderful course we're now on.

We've already seen Trump's last four years and there's zero reason to be optimistic. We know exactly what to expect.
Not sure who the “we” are. Because I’m not including myself in that universe. As I said I’m cautiously optimistic that my world under this administration will be better in 2029. YMMV.

As an American, your thoughts & opinions on my country and its leadership mean jack.

Why are you reading other people's opinions on a public forum if you aren't interested in other people's opinions?

I'm sure you could find or organize a forum exclusively for Americans, and lock others out by filtering through IP address and then that way you'd only get thoughts and opinions from other Americans, and they'd only get thoughts and opinions from other Americans, and then you could insulate yourself from thoughts, opinions, etc from other people on the planet.

I bet a lot of productive stuff would happen there.
 
Nice gesture, but it still doesn't change the fact that Tim donated a million to a fascist
It’s so you won’t be paying 2X for Apple devices when trump imposes his 100% tariff on products manufactured in China.

“We” are the residents of the world.
 
From King's 1963 speech: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by their character."

One party has done exactly the opposite of that statement. Thanks the SCOTUS decision, universities can no longer bias their admissions based on skin color.

I don't think you understand equal opportunity law or practice. I suppose if nothing else MLK Day reminds us there is unfinished work to be done.

A total and utter sabotage?

Trump is definitely yet to proof that he is a subject of global politics and can successfully deal with a sabotage within a system.
