The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.
Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.
Yeah, but that’s, like, just the opinion of you and the founding fathers, man
And all the king's men gathered around and applauded.
Surprise no one has offered up a twelve year old's virginity. trump's a pedophile.
The Constitution no longer exists! 😢
Google and others have been bribing pretty lavishly from the coronation party onwards. It's required to bribe now, to stay in business. Otherwise they hit you with tariffs, IRS audits, etc. Cook can easily be personally targeted, too.
The Founders are being ignored and the Constitution shredded.
Burn him
📌
If only our representatives would stand up!!
Constitution, what’s that?
Been a Apple product fan & defender for 30+ years. As a dyslexic, Apple comp saved my ed. life when I threw a DOS machine off a balcony. Cook kissing a$$ is very bad & it looks like my MacBook is going for a Superman ride & I haven’t even paid it off yet. This shit sucks. #HowsomeTeslaownersfeel
🤔, sounds exactly like something Nixons VP ( Spiro Agnew) was doing before he was forced to resign or be charged with multiple felonies. They called him the bag man. People were known to bring him in bags of cash. So what do we call the felon?
Please name the company and the source. Unless you are afraid of getting sued if you just make up the name
Tim cooked Apple
I will stick with my Android..
Supreme Court said bribery is legal now . Lt Governor Dan Patrick took a 3 million dollar bribe to not impeach AG Ken Paxton . Republicans are okay with this .
Make American fool again ( all the time) 🤣🤣🤣
I’m amazed Tim Cook didn’t just bend over, drop his drawers and say, “Go ahead and FUCK ME IN THE ASS, Donald John Trump. No lube required.”
🤬🤬🤬
the Oval Office is open for personal (and illegal) business.
So cool they do this out in the open and everyone there is just fine with it 🫠 "Look everyone, this is the courpution... No... We're not saying anything? Ok."
It worked tho...AAPL market cap increased by $400B in the next two days. Vulture capitalism at its worst: "f**k you! I gots mine!"
Gangsterism in full view.
😡...Of course the Felon isn't interested in following the Constitution or any Rule of Law...🤬
And now the supermist Court is going to help them skirt the law I know God can’t wait for them to coming begging for forgiveness asking for a healing - can’t wait for one of them to pass away nothing but congratulations to the family your hate one has finally entered the gates of hell!
The Constitution only matters if you can twist it to take minorities rights away
If only there were a means of punishing criminals
"Constitution? Hmm, not my lane but I can look into it" - every GOP congressman.
Fact
SCROTUS has made clear that the constitution does not apply to 🍊💩 or themselves. If they continue down this path it is going to spark civil war IMO.
What is not mentioned…is that the iphone glass covers are made here…..but then they have to be shipped to China for the phone to be assembled…..gaslighting all of us.
Shit’s seriously fucked up.
But it hasn’t been upheld - so useless
😡😡😡
Governmental integrity is lost in so many areas, and in too many people. If only the creators and signers of our Constitution had known what lie ahead. Could of, would of, should of...
The problem is our costs don't adore all Americans to call "lack of independent leadership" harm to give standing. I really don't know why these aren't considered criminal not civil offenses.
The Supreme Court, John Roberts specifically, handed Trump an opinion that said, commit as many crimes as you can and no law will contain you and no court will hold you accountable (I’m paraphrasing). Thank John Roberts for the corruption of the White House and the defiling of the Constitution.
A multi-multi billionaire contributed more than t $250,000,000, and ran million dollar lotteries to get the president and other Republicans elected. We, all Americans, should hang our heads in shame.
So, of course, you've stopped using or buying the company's products, right?
They also made very clear that impeachment was possible, and necessary. Weird how they keep acting like the Dems are doing it.🫏
And no one in the GOP cares.
Right, but just like the ban for insurrectionists doesn't count for Trump (according to his Supreme Court plants), the bans on bribery only count if you belong to a party that starts with a "D".
But when you remember Trump is a king and the gold is merely tribute then it makes a lot more sense.
The Constitution only matters if it's enforced.
Yet, it's happening right under our very noses - it was even on t.v. and there's zero accountability.
Tim Cook is a spineless slug of a human
The SCOTUS...has aready rule Trump has full immunity and is above the law, it doesn't matter what the constitution might say.
The founding fathers never dreamed that someone like trump could ever be elected president - to be honest neither did I!
Talk about rude awakenings!!!
In the simplest of terms—he’s a bully shaking people down for their lunch money. We need to use plain, simple language. Too many Americans can’t get it if they can’t relate it to their own life. Example—he’s the abusive Dad who has money for golf but no money for kids braces or school books.
How sure is these
The most corrupt administration ever dementia Donny pedophile
Donald j trump runs a criminal enterprise. The us supreme court gave him immunity, a free pass to engorge himself
The billionaires have to be extremely stupid to support trump. They will have to keep going back for more and bigger bribes and eventually have to compete with each other to see who can pay the biggest bribe. This will only end in disaster for the oligarchs.
Bought my last iPhone.
The Constitution is a joke to this administration and no one will stand up to protect it. The founders persposly included the emoluments clause to prevent a president from being bought. No more!
#shit4brains
They took a lot of things seriously enough to tut-tut about while providing stupidly unworkable remedies for same. Of course the Executive would never share a faction with large parts of the other two branches how could you even think such a thing.
👍🏼 If that isn’t bribery, nothing is!
The Constitution you say? The document that Trump swore to uphold and since has violated countless times? The document that he wipes his butt with?
All of the institutions and laws we thought would prevent this sort of thing?
They didn't. They bent the knee.
All those people with their pocket constitutions, raging about tyranny?
They joined it, because it's their guy.
The hope we had that someone would step up and stop this?
I only there was some evidence of his crimes so in the future we can use it t-
-Oh ,wait, he filmed it.
Until someone really does something about all the illegal activities this administration is engaged in, he will continue to do more and more outrageously illegal acts. He doesn’t care about America or Americans. He doesn’t care about the law or the constitution.
30 pieces of sliver
It's going to gall Donald Trump no end when he has to turn that 24-karat gold bar with the glass disk slotted in it over to the National Archives to hold for the American people, right? ...Turn it over, right? Right?
Is it guillotine time? Tell me when you all are ready.
I think Steve Jobs would’ve flambéed Trump publicly
Tim Cook is a fucking coward
There should already be a running list of the crimes Trump will be impeached for, so no one gets the idea that the GOP is going to get away with this unscathed.
Illegal means nothing to them if their doing it.
Shared, thank you.
What’s the Constitution? Is that that old document that they PARTIALLY REMOVED FROM GOVERNMENT WEBSITES because they aren’t using it anymore???
What's a constitution?
Pay to play. ☹️
Boycott Apple products from this day forward!!!
Sometimes I realize I’m numb to just how corrupt this administration is because there’s so little pushback or accountability, that I see Tim Apple in the WH with a gift of gold for the King, and I somehow push it away like it’s just normal sycophancy or flattery instead of criminal bribery.
Anyone who owns any Apple Products should put them in the trash.
Call it what it is, fascist dictatorship.
SCOTUS retroactively nullified the Constitution July 1, 2024, simultaneously nullifying the fed gov’s authority to govern, dissolving the Union.
The fascist dictatorship is cosplaying constitutionality.
I do not consent to tyranny. #NQNQ247
Note: The following text is a transcription of the Stone Engraving of the parchment Declaration of Independence (the document on display in the Rotunda at the National Archives Museum.) The spelling a...
Great post! I am so p***d off with Apple 😡
Welcome to Extortionland!
It's these bums that document and complain to others about the actions of others while doing absolutely nothing about it like a whiny useless losers who can't participate in life or for society. Social media needs to go. It has made us dumber & made everyone into observers instead of participants.
FOTUS is a walking crime spree.
THIS IS BEYOND BULLSHIT USA!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT NOW?!
HOW MUCH MORE DO WE HAVE TO SUFFER YOUR COLLECTIVE STUPIDITY?!
YOU BLAME HIM BUT THIS FUCK UP IS ALL ON YOU WHITE PEOPLE.
HOW MUCH MORE DOES THE WORLD HAVE TO SUFFER FOR YOU??!!😡😡😡😡
fuck😡😡
#cdnpoli #Palestine #usa #news #un #eu #uk
Name the CEO so the world knows🤷 Like wtf, is this real or not????
How can cabada ban said corporation if you guys don't name it
I’m looking for a Canadian built phone, because of this… 🤬🤬🤬
Call the CEO by name
Republicans are above the law
I wonder if Mr. Cook understands that a justice department beginning in January 2029 may investigate him for bribery. Our corporate leaders need to understand that they can be held accountable in the future.
The greed and corruption in this administration is beyond anything I've ever see anywhere
To be fair, it looks like some crappy office-job award for 5 years of loyal service.
Don't give Trump anything that isn't gold!
This is why I'll be voting to get those fckg a$$h0les out of congress.
It’s later than many of us think. #SOSUSA
Pretty fucking sickening. And the GOP doesn't seem to give any damns about it.
Welcome to Germany 1938. Afraid to do business, Gift to the „Führer“, a little later you are told what to build to support war the „Führer“ wants. Still doing business but different.
Too bad MAGA can’t read.
White House nothing more than a whore house.
Boycott Apple? Anybody?
On one level, there’s the open immorality, brazen audacity, and patent illegality of it all. On the other, there’s the willingness to take full advantage of a fecklessly corrupt president who may not realize, or have sense enough to care, that he’s being played like a fiddle.
Our fantastically corrupted SCOTUS has re-defined bribery almost out of existence. All Hitler 2.0 has to do is lie about the chain of events and a bribe becomes a tip/gratuity. supremecorruption.com/home
The Roberts Court will go down in history as not only the most rabidly partisan SCOTUS in history, but also the most thoroughly corrupted.
trump has fully proven the constitution is meaningless
Once upon a time, back in the days of Macintosh, Apple represented rebellion against big tech and powerful corporations. And now they are amongst the worst of the new oligarchs.
James Madison. Federalist 10. 1787. On non-enlightened statesmen & the levers of power.
Bribery in plain sight. It’s disgraceful.
Who was the CEO/ company? We the people need to know.
Got his Asher handed to him
What Constitution?
100% Criminality wide open !
Man.
I can't help but wonder.
How many Tesla/Apple Owners - Will Admit To Being One Of Those Estimated 83-89 Million 2024 Eligible Voters - WHO DIDN'T VOTE?
A More Painful Lesson NO ONE Has Ever Had To Learn!
Those People KNEW-and SAID #Trump Was Bad!
And They Were GASLIT That #Harris Was, Too!
If you read the fine print, it says, “this document only applies to soy-boy-libs.”
Pretty sure it's only the visible part of the deal. Apple users' data may be the submerged part of the iceberg.
Did You see trump’s face as he was shown it? Positively giddy. Like a kid on Christmas morning….
😡 Do you have proof? ( I believe you)
Besides being absolutely illegal (ahem, John Roberts?!?!)… maybe it is now a winning strategy? Do we just have to spray paint some shit gold and carry it to his ballroom to get what we want?
🤔🤔🤔
Waiting on Congress to address this - not holding my breath!
Our dubious GOP ghoul Congress live day to day off the backs of their constituents & Constituents live day to day thinking Oh my congress members have my back & even if they don’t what can they do to change it Yes the prez is loving the arrangement of fixed for him deals He’s well subsidized
So why won't the courts recognize it and hold him accountable. He continues to repeat the same behavior no matter what and he's still never held accountable.
Jair Bolsonaro (TRUMP's FRIEND) repeats insult to Congresswoman Maria do Rosário: 'I only won't rape you because you don't deserve it'

O deputado Jair Bolsonaro (PP-RJ) repetiu, nesta terça-feira, na Câmara, o insulto que já havia feito, em 2003, à deputada federal Maria do Rosário (PT-RS)....
Wondering if that $5,800 bottle of whiskey given to SoS Pompeo has ever shown up?
And congress doesn't do its job by impacting and removing him.
People keep buying those iPhone. Fuck Apple and Tim with his nut licking ass. If I had any Apple products at all I'd shit on them and send them back to Apple.
Details please. Who is the CEO & what company?
As a state employee we had to take ethics CBT every year and couldn’t accept gift cards, lunch, or really anything from vendors.
Literally, not a day goes by without us witnessing how Chump brings out the very worst in people, and that applies to his sycophantic followers and many others.
Bribery is illegal, except when the president does it.
Was that the 🍏 CEO? 😁
When has Trailer Trash tRump ever bothered to read the Constitution, let alone abide by it?
Dems when they get back in power should be prosecuting Trump AND Cook to ensure this stuff stops. Trump may get off but if we can get the bribers then they will think twice about this. Look into all other similar exchanges.
Are you talking about Tim Cook of Apple Inc?
Yet, the founders made the bar for punishing it so high that no president has come close to being ousted for bribery.
Might have helped if they hadn't granted the president the limitless power of the pardon and made him above the law.
Fascism arrived in the USA, constitutionally.
So disappointed at ceo and board of directors. His customers must come first. I guess he forgot who is buying Apple phones.
Charge them Impeach trump . By now quite a few Republicans would be glad for him to be gone.
And every year, Apple employees have to sit through mandatory compliance training only to watch the CEO publicly violate it.
I’m guessing that is the part Trump cut out
If we aren't ready to make these people afraid to leave the house , we're fucked. just gonna sit and wait on our trip to the train station.
I seriously want to get rid of anything apple in my house. I’m so bummed. But then why would I think any other CEO would have any kind of scruples in this day and age?
I use Apple products, but Apple also has to be punished for this.
Boycott his company
Evidently not enough 😒
Will the pendulum swing the other way in regards to accountability? When we get the orange feces out of the White House, he will die someday. Will there be a movement to get big/dark money out of our government? That is the real problem. Can real change happen? Americans first not billionaires.
SCOTUS Conservatives: "N/A to our boy Trump"
IT REALLY IS A SHAME ALL THESE RICH ASS PEOPLE OUT HERE, COMMITTING CRIMES RIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS, AND NOBODY'S SAYING A THING
What’s this Constitution you talk of? Tell me more…
“President Trump’s receipt of a gold bar from Apple CEO was plainly within the sphere of his ‘core Executive functions’ and presumptively immunized from criminal liability. Likewise, the simultaneous lifting of penalties against Apple was too attenuated to be an ‘official act’ under McDonnell.”
If we ever see America under a lawful government again, these corrupt and insanely evil corporations need to be nationalized and all of their ill gotten gains and data combed thru while the leaders face treason charges.
If America survives nazism, there will be a massive redistribution of wealth
It seems to happen frequently. But, - This would be a more powerful post with a link or reference.
Nothing but a fucking grifter!
Just like trumps taxes, and tariffs. The consumers will flip the bill for that "gift".
Constitution? ? ? Who cares!
Just one of the reasons this president finds it "inconvenient" and "doesn't know" if he needs to support and defend it. And his VP whines about its "bad policies."
SCOTUS made bribery legal again. Yay😔
Every silent Republican is complicit.
Oh, didn't you hear? He used a sharpie and took that out of the constitution.
Provide names, please.
Tim Crook
They feel completely untouchable. That's the whole problem.
Kamala Harris: what I did not predict, was the capitulation
YouTube video by LaughHub
Trump is the "Bribe Me" (p)resident. He can be bought. He has been bought.
High crimes and misdemeanors.
Bribery is what Congress and SCOTUS says it, which is to say he is immune.
Yep. The foundations and laws underpinning america are eroding faster than pier pilings in a tsunami. It is mind boggling to see.
The Drumpf regime is a well and truly a criminal enterprise
They’ll just erase that pesky line from the constitution
Bribing is legal now
“There seems to be an Apple rotting in that barrel.”
The Supremes have decreed the king need not trifle with such trivialities as the constitution or rule of law.
This made me sick ! If apple products didn’t cost so much I’d trash it hem all. Yes.. apple is now one of trumps bitches . No respect for this company. And this is exactly what trumps tariffs are for , bribes & groveling at our expense.
All CEO’s are pathetic cucks for nazis now
I’ve given up Meta, Amazon and Target. Apple should be pretty easy as well.
I'm sure Pam Bondage will investigate as soon as she finishes her cover-up of Trump's past that keeps molesting his administration!
DISGUSTING
'NAZI MAGA apple ceo'
So, why isn't Stupid impeached, in jail, or just out of the entire American Political forum? When is someone going to shit can this sleeze ball?👽
It's all abt tribute and grift. The levels of corruption are staggering. And so blatant. We're not even pretending to have a Constitution now.
Fuck Tim Cook
What is this “Constitution,” that everyone keeps talking about???
This is so far beyond Spiro Agnew. Disgusting and pathetic, as well as a public damnation for Cook.
I really hope you understand that the current president is a barely functional illiterate, who is incapable of reading and understanding anything more complex than "see Spot run"
But what to do about it, eh? Apart from pointing out the fucking obvious.
I can imagine him showing off his bribes to friends and family. "And this is the gift Tim Cook gave me when I fucked the country"
it is a pity that the constitution is no longer upheld.
Why is this a thing now? I counted a bunch at the inauguration paid for by who?
AND
Musk ran around the WH, flew on AF1 and did whatever he wanted, got his AI into the FED, fucked up everything...
...but Tim Apple is an outrage.
Yeah, but according to the online version of the Constitution, bribery is in! www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Trump is trying to take over the Library of Congress, but its website already deleted a part of the Constitution that Trump officials don’t like.
Maybe we should ask the Commanders if Washington, D.C.—District of Columbia—should be renamed Washington, S.D., for Shake Down.
Where is the link to the actual story?
We don’t even know if Epstein’s business isn’t still operating out of Trump Spas.
And the Republican Party saw nothing wrong with it. Now imagine if it had been Biden…
Just want to point out that it’s not illegal to give gifts to the president.
Tim Coke is one pathetic, weak, little shyt.
All of us know it, but not one Republican in Congress or the Senate is willing to stand against this sort of corruption. I just wonder how much Republicans get in kickbacks each month?
Can’t wait to see which CEOs are bringing the frankincense and myrrh.
And yet nothing comes of it
All Tim Crook gave Trump was a nicely engraved glass plaque, worth a few thousand. That plaque is destined for the Trump Penitentiary Library (did I spell that right?).
The million dollar, solid gold base is totally inconsequential and is not worthy of the lie-brary.
The founders were trying to fix all the problems of the corrupt monarchal government they had just left. But it came back. Too bad we don’t have some kind of Judicial Branch like a Supreme Court that could stop it.
Y'all, laws don't exist anymore. We're just a few mass tragedies from being the wild west once again. Every man for himself.
