Trump says Tim Cook called him to complain about the European Union
Trump says Tim Cook called him to complain about the European Union
The EU fined Apple billions of dollars this year.
Don’t you mean Tim Apple
No, this was Tim the Cook.
I heard from Tim Cook that Kamala never worked at McDonald's ever, and he would know!
Not to be confused with Tim Epic
This might be one of the few times I think Donald Trump is actually telling the truth. I 100% believe Tim Cook is calling him and begging for shit.
He was 100 about Elon willing to kiss his ass.
Agreed. Apple already invited him for a PR stunt for the last election.
So, why should we care?
“He [Cook] said something that was interesting,” Trump said. “He said they’re using that to run their enterprise, meaning Europe is their enterprise. “I said, ‘That’s a lot... But Tim, I got to get elected first, but I’m not going to let them take advantage of our companies — that won’t, you know, be happening.’”
suure... but hey, when they don't pay, I guess its fine to the Orange man, that Cuck won't be able to sell in Europe, eh?
"Tim said the EU is an enterprise, so I said; Tim, you're going to have to pay the service fees if you want to get me into office! That's how our enterprise works!"
What a joke, even when Trump is pretending to be, or imagining himself as a defender of democracy he's actually just expressing class-based corruption and running his politics as a pay-for-play service exclusive to billionaires and their companies.
I guess Elon Musk paid so much he got to do a VIP on stage appearance. A complete joke, total corruption. So bad he doesn't even recognise it in what he's saying.

Donald Trump realized how easy it is to extort business dorks by promising them something vaguely beneficial in the future for a wad of cash today. And now he's racking it in as fast as he can make the calls.
Tim Cook: "I never spoke to him or said anything of that sort."
Probably
Does Tim Cook know about this call?
JD Vance is literally Silicon Valley's candidate, sponsored by PayPal's Peter Thiel, and likely to take over if Trump gets into office.
It's absolutely something Apple's head would do. They're not exactly know for their morality. FoxxConn workers can tell you that as they roll out of the suicide nets.
I hate this world sometimes.
It's possible Trump is lying. But there is a depressingly high chance that this call (or one like it) did actually happen. Rich fucks do be making insane phone calls all the time. Just look up Bill Ackman's long reputation of putting Columbia administrative heads, NY/DC newspaper editors, and random ranking congresspeople on blast, every time he gets a bug up his ass about Woke.
Europe as an enterprise, that sounds a lot like the Dutch version of SovCit nonsense, claiming that NL is not a country/kingdom because the government fled to the UK in WW2 and it is since then a subsidiary of the US.
That does sound just like SovCit. Thanks for the introduction to the Dutch version!
Here’s a recent overview post by journalist Chris Klomp who follows this movement closely, it’s in Dutch but DeepL can help with that: https://chrisklomp.nl/youri-plate-een-kwaadaardig-circus-met-louter-clowns/
Oh, Germany has that too, the BRD GmbH.
Tim Cook, Apple, and Trump can all get fucked.
He talking about Tim Apple?
