I'm "he" donated to give Apple a firewall and a way to disown it when he retires (or hopefully is let go sooner).
- xp84 1y agoIt's true that Trump is laughably cheap to bribe when you compare the magnitude of the many bribes compared to the damage caused to whoever isn't bribing him (In his first term he put a big tariff on bauxite that cost billions to an entire industry who imports it to produce aluminum metal, for a small windfall for the only domestic bauxite producer (friend/donor of Trump), it was orders of magnitude less money) That said, I think current Trump wants to get his beak more wet. If Tim isn't an idiot, he's looking into joint ventures where Apple brokers and finances a couple of Trump Hotels in China or something. Not a million bucks.
