| That's like saying going to Washington DC at all is "politics." It'd be bad business stewardship if he didn't; bad for shareholders, ultimately. It looks silly optically, but it's plain to see that Apple has trump nailed psychologically. And it worked! They knew what was needed to get an administration to support the company in meaningful ways. May we do better on the next election. |

| No, it's just a business tax. Do you see Cook getting on twitter and parroting the god emperor's topic of the day? |

| ▲ | JetSpiegel 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | It's not a tax, Tim Apple gave him the gold personally, with cameras in tow, he did not submit the ACH data to the IRS. It's bending the knee. Why degrade himself, what can Trump do that their trillions cannot cushion? | | |
| ▲ | denkmoon a day ago | parent [-] | | Same difference. "I spent millions/billions that could have been avoided because I did not want to appear to degrade myself" doesn't sell very well to stakeholders. The CEO should do what is in the best interests of the company, and in the US when Mr Trump is president, it is in the best interests of the company to bend the knee. |

| So you think he is a Trump supporter, then? I would have guessed precisely the opposite. My assumption is that the trophy was his way of looking out for the best interests of Apple. In that regard probably a fairly good ROI. |

To a president hell-bent on overturning Obergefell v Hodges, even. He gave him more gold than Maria Corina Machado. | |
