Apple Speaks Out Against Trump Order to Rescind Protections for Transgender Students

I never said it wasn't. Just refuting the erroneous notion that "Americans wanted Trump".
And you clearly have no idea how the American electoral system works. Trump and Hillary were both competing in the same race with the same rules. Clinton's team was so cocky in fact they turned down desperate calls for campaign support in states where they assumed were locked up and Trump was open to competing at.
Apple is fighting petty fights, this entire transgender bathroom topic is a non-issue. Any creep can identify as the opposite sex to violate the privacy of bathrooms for others. The lines are too blurred and if you aren't taking physical and legal steps to change your gender association, you can be categorized as simply experimenting and should experiment in the bathroom of your own sex.
A global, American company. And true charity starts at home.
So it's not rude for a company to interfere with the democratic process and what a democratic elected president proposes?
Especially because only 50% of American voted and less than 50% of that voted for Trump. Less than a quarter of Americans wanted Trump to be President.
If you were merely refuting the notion that "Americans wanted Trump" You would've considered other variables, like CA/NY being exponentially larger with democratic voters and the now proven fact that there are 2 million illegal aliens, LEGALLY registered to vote.
Refuting "Americans wanted Trump" by simply saying Hilary got X number more votes in other states is not so clear cut.
One can also make the argument that the largest voter fraud organization in America claimed 3 million votes were fraudulent.
In every state there was a recount, Hillary ended up losing votes than originally thought. Hm...
Nope. It's called being a good corporate citizen concerned about the future of the nation's children.
Same insanely silly logic why people think Brexit should be reversed.
Today's news would suggest that Apple's opponents on this topic don't agree that it is a non-issue. You can't say that one party is fighting petty fights when they aren't the one that initiated the situation in the first place. It takes two to tango.
You're mixing up the personal opinion of a CEO (who is a citizen) versus a company interfering the democratic process.
With the election stats I would say it's erroneous to say that the vast majority of Americans didn't.
There are millions of conservatives. Most just don't yell, scream and burn things down.
Right. I've only been voting in it for decades.
And I merely stated a fact.

The idea that "Americans wanted Trump" is actually silly.
And a Brexit reversal would be the best thing to happen to that country. At least in four years we can oust Trump.
One can make the argument, but apparently cannot produce actual evidence.
Glad trump is focusing on the important issues
At the same time I'm getting a little tired of Apple giving their input on issues like this.
I don't really care about this issue much simply because I'm not being affected by the use of bathrooms by transgenders (I just assume all people pissing/pooping next to me are men, but could be wrong). With that being said, its not wrong of Trump to work on this and he is focusing on other issues, to be fair.
I also agree, Apple should spent their time on making good tech products instead...
So it's okay when ExxonMobil does it? Get out of here with that nonsense. Such little league arguments.

I'm terrified that people can be force-fed that nonsense by the President.
Do you have children? What if you have a transgender child? Will you kick them in the street or will you be an adult and support them?
Never say "it doesn't affect me", because sooner or later it might.
And that charity is in the form of? Words?
Sorry equality is global. For you to say it need to start in the US first, for a global company is concerning. Given the minority of people making apple products are in the US, and the ones that need the most support are not the highly paid office workers, but the factory workers. Do you think a factory worker is concerned about thier working conditions or if thier boss accepts thier transgender status....? Let's get the basic human rights issues sorted before moving to advance cases no?
Looking at the presidential election is looking at the small picture. If you step back, you will see that Americans voted Republicans into the house, the senate and almost 2/3s of the governerships.
The American people handed the keys to kingdom to the Republicans. Except they handed the keys to the wrong kind of Republicans - Tea Party nutjobs and Trumpeters. Basically, the country is now being run by anti-education, anti-science, anti-intellectuals.
Interfering? Absolute rubbish. They aren't blocking people from getting to a voting booth.
More little league arguments we're not discussing. We all know Apple is an equal opportunity employer with tons of minorities and LGBT people on their payroll. Now go do whatever it is the conservatives do when they're not having sex for the sake of procreation.

Least informed person in all of Europe? Probably.Interfering? Absolute rubbish. They aren't blocking people from getting to a voting booth.
