Tim Cook Changes Twitter Name to 'Tim Apple' After President Trump's Name Flub

[MattG]

How unbelievably pathetic that even at this point there's literally nothing this man could do to make some of you realize what a buffoon he is, not even talking about the "Tim Apple" thing necessarily. This is your hero...this is where the bar is set now How sad.

and it's unbelievably pathetic that even at this point, people will think this is the measurement of "buffoonery"...

what's next?? Getting 2 scoops of ice-cream or having his steak a certain way?? Oh wait.

 

[ThunderSkunk]

Oh that donald trump, hes such a card...

 

[nitramluap]

it was entirely harmless.

Actually, thinking that this is 'harmless' is the reason the US is a laughing stock these days (and most other english-speaking developed countries...). Politics needs an overhaul, as do the people who run for office and all the people who don't vote, yet complain.

Everybody here is laughing, but we're overlooking the fact that Bill Microsoft wasn't invited to this advisory board, and I think that's a real shame.

It’s because Bill Microsoft advocates the “crazy” idea that vaccinations save lives.

 

[iamasmith]

Get it right man it's Tim Appleseed, John's brother ofc

 

[mikethemartian]

As I pointed out elsewhere on PRSI it's not uncommon for presidents (or any human being) to make mistakes like this one. It just happens.

I assumed he said it on purpose.

 

[Northgrove]

Damn... This is all companies/CEOs/celebs have to do is acknowledge memes/running jokes and everyone loses their sh*t?

Amazing.

Oh come on, lighten up. They usually don't do this, especially not on this level and because of their president.

 

[mikethemartian]

What would Steve have done, leap out of his chair and bitch slap the President? Pretty sure he'd just grin and find the funny side.

I think Steve would have corrected him.

If Trump and Cook had a few beers together and got buzzed, Trump could call Cook: Tim Apple Sauced.

Believe it or not, Trump is a teetotaler. He doesn't drink.

 

[DEMinSoCAL]

Please. Obama made plenty of mistakes of this kind, including thinking that he was in 2008 when it was indeed 2011, that the US had 57 states, that Austrian is a language, that St. Louis is in Kansas, and that a tornado killed ten thousand people (it was 12).
It just happens.

Are you really that far right that you have all these anti-Obama facts memorized, or did you feel so strongly about tRUMP that you looked them up?

 

[TracesOfArsenic]

Tim Apple for president!

Oddly, I feel like he's probably more qualified for that job than the one he currently has.

 

[yaxomoxay]

Are you really that far right that you have all these anti-Obama facts memorized, or did you feel so strongly about tRUMP that you looked them up?

And my position on Trump/Obama changes the relevance of the facts I mentioned to the actual topic (*)... how?

(*) = Actual topic is NOT me.

 

[keysofanxiety]

I think Steve would have corrected him.

Nah, he’d definitely have bitchslapped him.

 

[DEMinSoCAL]

And my position on Trump/Obama changes the relevance of the facts I mentioned... how?

Deflection...that answers my question.

 

[yaxomoxay]

Deflection...that answers my question.

Yours is a deflection aimed at the boring rhetorical device of claiming that since there is a disagreement (or even better, a disagreement of the general ideologies) then the specific argument is invalid.
The topic is mistake(s) by president, not what and how I memorize. The fact that I love/hate Trump/Obama has no relevance whatsoever.

To answer your questions, neither of them. I like to point at facts. Always.

 

[kingofwale]

Oddly, I feel like he's probably more qualified for that job than the one he currently has.

oddly, you don't become the president if you feel like you are "more qualified"... it's almost if there is some kind of vote each state to see who the people want to govern.... with rules in place ahead of time agreed upon by everyone involved...

 

[mschmalenbach]

This reminds me a little of the college football names skit by Key & Peele...

Add to the list "Tim Apple of the University of East West North Side". Also "Socrates Johnson of Layola Penitentiary, Dennis Frood and Bob Genghis Kahn...."

 

[MattG]

Nah, he’d definitely have bitchslapped him.

Steve wouldn't have dignified him with a meeting.

 

[Soccertess]

Tim Apple or what's your name.. he hasn't done much.. that's why no one will remember him

 

[Brandhouse]

Yep, this is what we have in the White House.

And the whole world is continually shaking their heads in disbelief. Hoping it's going to end soon, but not soon enough.

 

[newyorksole]

Oh come on, lighten up. They usually don't do this, especially not on this level and because of their president.

Lol true. It just reminds me of when McDonalds will tweet something witty about Burger King. Or when a brand tweets a song lyric.

 

[citysnaps]

How about that Kim Korea dude with the nukes.

 

[Brandhouse]

There is no pattern. They talk for hours in front of cameras, it just happens. In a span of three years he called two people using the company as their last name. Big deal.

It is a big deal, he's meant to be your President. On the world stage this is plain embarrassing for you.

 

[yaxomoxay]

It is a big deal, he's meant to be your President. On the world stage this is plain embarrassing for you.

And like any president, he makes mistakes. Long are gone the days of the sacred King who was chosen by God and of which each action was commanded by God.
You know, Carter even fell from the Air Force One.
