I like Satya Microsoft even though I’m a nix kind of person. MS seems to have become better under his rule.
Oh my!
I'm not sure if that's hysterical or rude. But I'm okay with it either way
God for bid , if I sneeze that will go viral as well.
I guess we all have our fun.
He's not the Bill Gates you know decade ago. He stepped down as CEO to become just a Chairman in 2008. He stepped down again just to be technology advisor in 2014. He's a almost a full time philanthropist since 2008.
You can’t fix stupid. Our founding fathers understood the importance of having three co-equal branches of government that serve as a check and balance against each other. When President Obama was elected and my right wing family members went nuts offering up such non-sense as “he’ll crown himself king and never leave” I had to explain to them the basic history and design of our Constitution. I had to have the exact same conversation with my left wing family members when President Trump was elected.
Anybody who thinks we won’t make it through whoever the sitting President is and that it’s “never been worse” clearly hasn’t studied the history of the United States of America nor World History. It’s been worse, much worse, and we’ve survived and prospered. Our history is very much that of two steps forward followed by one step back but the arc of justice, freedom and prosperity is long and it trends upward. “It’s never been worse” isn’t a partisan issue it’s an educational issue. Too many of my fellow Americans are simply ignorant of American history and believe too much of what they read on the Internet or see on their partisan cable news channel of choice.

BLM started mostly because of the Zimmerman case's outcome. How does a sitting President have control over that? You're reaching. Dallas shootings = a sick person.
To use your logic, Trump is responsible for a wave of White nationalism, general xenophobia and the poor getting poorer.
I think it’s Tim Cook not taking himself too seriously and deciding to have some fun.Oh my!

All presidents have gaffes like this. Remember Obama’s “57 states” and mispronouncing “corpsman” 3 times in the same speech? It seems to me that Trump associates a person with his or her company. That explains “Marillyn “
Lockheed” and “Tim Apple.”
“There is no pattern” he says. Oh man I guess you haven’t heard of this thing called Twitter. See, he uses it quite often and, I’ll just say this...one of the most basic features of a smart phone is how easy it makes it to not misspell the words you type. He literally has the entire English language beneath his thumbs, and he still doesn’t spell **** right time and time again? You almost have to go out of your to be that dumb. Or at least most people would. But not this guy. Nope. He’s special, and he’s the President of the United States.
Agreed. That said, I see some differences between 2008 and 2016. Any semi-sane Republican had to figure they’d be fighting an uphill battle in 2008 because they were in power when the Great Recession hit (even if they disputed their party’s culpability for it). Plus a lot of people on both sides genuinely had high hopes that electing an African-American as POTUS would be good for race relations.
2016 was different. Hillary just wasn’t able to play up the possibility of being the first woman POTUS. I think it’s because it seems inevitable (the majority of voters are women) while an AA President was not inevitable, and because Obama was more charismatic and likable. Also, despite the polls in October/November 2016 so many Democrats were convinced that Trump couldn’t possibly win. The last Realclearpolitics map before the election looked a lot like the last one before the Access Hollywood tapes. It showed an electoral college photo finish with only 1 of Wisconsin, Michigan, or Pennsylvania separating Trump from a win. I went into Election Day thinking it was a tossup. Most of my colleagues (all college educated) were sure HRC was going to win.

He’s said that he is deliberate about mistakes in his tweets. More likely he posts by himself rather than letting his staff post on his behalf. So no one is around to catch typos before they go out.
Okay, sir, that's enough! We'll have no more of this!
Austrian is an own language, with an own dictonary / think he was right on this!
He just thinks that if you own/run a company, you'd obviously name it after yourself. "What's this guy's name again? Uhh.... his company is called Apple. Of course! Tim Apple!"
I dont see the mistake, its a memo technic, to know the first name in the USA and the compnay.
I mean You have to deal with a load of people all the time, and need to know the facts.
Mostly first name and company / so whats wrong?
Isnt his name tim and the company apple?
Let's be honest, he's a notorious liar. Yes, maybe he forgt Tim Cook's last name, but there is a pattern of stupidity and very bad education in general. I guess somehow he managed to believe his own lies he tells every day; he lives in his own little filter bubble.

Remember when Obama ran his election campaign on the promise he would "shut down Guantanamo Bay"? Well he had two terms (the most an American President can have) and he achieved f-all in regard to Guantanamo Bay.

I'm not American so I haven't got a dog in this hunt BUT "Please provide links to videos or other evidence that supports these claims." Jesus man,do YOUR OWN Research; then if it's true or not true THEN comment on it. Don't be the whinney bitch saying "no you prove the evidence, I can't be bothered"
Great point. Tim Cook would not even be known if not for Steve Jobs.
I doubt anyone on MacRumors would know or recognize most of the people on the top 50 billionaire list, but to so many liberals "HUE HUE HUE DRUMPF MESSED UP!" is news.
Of course, when Nancy Pelosi's dementia causes her to call him "Donald Bush" repeatedly, or forget her words and thoughts frequently, it's crickets.

Yes, there are compilations of Obama making mistakes too. But it's still funny when it happens. Trump's "7/11" one was the best.
