Tim Cook already donated $1m to Trump's inauguration.
And Apple has promised to invest heavily in US manufacturing.
In fact almost all of the Tech CEOs have dutifully kissed the ring and avoided his wrath.

- SpicyLemonZest 2y agoI keep seeing this characterization of inauguration donations as "kissing the ring", and I don't understand it. This is a routine practice for presidential inaugurations. Don't get me wrong, I agree it's bad, but the phrase implies a level of fealty that I really don't think is present. Nobody argued that Pfizer or Boeing or J.Lo were kissing Biden's ring in 2020.
