Doing it on Live Television is the whole point. Trump wants the world to see exactly how to avoid things like Tariffs and get preferential treatment: bribe him personally and/or "kiss the ring".

He was demonstrating how bribery works in a corrupt system.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

Thats the hard truth

If they Act more like a King than a President..... Are they still just a President?

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 43 points 3 hours ago

The federal government is a protection racket now. You pay your money and your windows don't get broken and your business doesn't mysteriously catch fire. It may be illegal, but who's going to do anything about it?

[–] 60d@lemmy.ca 1 points 49 minutes ago

He's just following the example set by other CEOs

Context for those who didn't catch the news article: https://www.advocate.com/news/tim-cook-donald-trump-gift

Can you imagine what the reaction would have been if Obama did any of this?

I don't know if we have enough perals in existence to clutch.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 40 points 4 hours ago (4 children)

But, but, but....
He wore a TAN SUIT!!

Not as bad as when John Kerry got provolone on his Philly cheesesteak.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 0 points 18 minutes ago

I love how people repeat this meme as if Obama's record is somehow sacrosanct.

We'll just forget his kill list, his support of torture, his brutlization of Occupy, his militarization of the police, etc. etc. etc.

[–] imTIREDnhungryboss@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 hours ago

damn it Obama 🤣😂😆 kill the GOP till they dead

[–] KindnessisPunk@piefed.ca 10 points 3 hours ago

I heard he also enjoys dijon mustard, the most socialist of all the mustards.

Tim Apple supports a raping pedophile.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (6 children)

I know this isn't remotely the point but I think "pedophile rapist" hits better. Your way makes it sound like he is a rapist who is also a pedophile. Which, don't get me wrong, he is.

But "pedophile rapist" describes the fact that he rapes children.

Edit: I haven't had my coffee. 🤦‍♂️

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 3 points 53 minutes ago

remove the fancy words, blunt works better imo

child fucker

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

I usually call him a rapist pedophile, but I think the best description is that he's a rapist and a pedophile. Monsters usually only have one kink but he's both.

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 4 points 2 hours ago

It's implied that if you're a pedophile you rape children, because they (legally) can't give consent.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 34 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Your way, a "pedophile rapist" makes it sound be rapes pedophiles.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

So a “French gourmand” is someone who is particular about the French people he eats?

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 2 points 58 minutes ago

I mean, you'd have to be. French people are pretty stringy in general.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Could be. The English language leaves lots of things to ambiguity. That's why context is so important.

[–] ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 10 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Sane people: "Trump is a pedophile rapist!" MAGA: "NO, he's a pedophile rapist!"

[–] RunawayFixer@lemmy.world 10 points 4 hours ago

It probably has to be pedophilic instead of pedophile to be correct.

[–] lostoncalantha@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

The other half are asking, “where are we going?”

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 136 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I mean, if he's that cheap to bribe, you'd be stupid not to.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Yep! I caught a bit of grief for saying the exact same thing the other day. I'm not gonna hate, he did what was best for his company and the price was ludicrously low. Best part? Trump's too dumb to be insulted by this cringe.

[–] Mniot@programming.dev 1 points 34 minutes ago

I think it's OK to still hate. Kissing ass while smirking because you're soooo smart is still kissing ass. And Apple was part of putting Trump into office.

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 60 points 4 hours ago

Doing it publicly really highlights the brazenness of the whole tariff scam too.

[–] phneutral@feddit.org 31 points 5 hours ago

A little gift for the Sultan!

[–] alvyn@discuss.tchncs.de 25 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

He is kissing Trumps ass, so lame. Am ending with buying new apple products!

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

Exactly. I’ve had iPhones since they came out. Next phone won’t be an iPhone.

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 41 points 6 hours ago (12 children)

Tim Cook is a Trump supporter
