Cook stood up to the FBI. He could have stood up to Trump -- he just didn't want to.

That's a lawful FBI. This is a lawless executive branch. As we all know by now, executive branch has a lot a power that cannot be limited by Congress nor the Courts and erasing a few zeros from 4T market valuation is a piece of cake (as we witnessed daily how they moved billions around the market to their favorite inside traders).

Tanking Apple would tank the economy -- the one thing Repubs are afraid of. Cook could have used that.

Other, much smaller organizations have stood up to Trump and forced him to back down. So much for "courage."

		Like you said, yes, it is about courage. I just felt that I won't have that courage when I were in his shoes. We can just be different.
