Apple CEO Tim Cook Slammed After Groveling To Trump By Giving Him Custom Golden Gift

The Apple CEO was at the White House to talk about the company's plans to invest in American manufacturing to avoid Trump's tariffs—and Cook even brought a gift to appeal to Trump's love of gold.

On Wednesday, Apple CEO Tim Cook visited the White House bearing gifts. The billionaire brought MAGA Republican President Donald Trump a new "award" to add to his collection.

Cook's gift was an engraved Corning Gorilla Glass—like the kind they manufacture for iPhones—disc set on a 24-karat gold base.


At the top of the disc, Trump's name was engraved, followed by "Apple American manufacturing program," while "MADE IN USA 2025" and what appeared to be Cook's signature graced the bottom.

The Apple logo was cut out of the center.

Cook said of the gift:

"It is a unique unit of one."

He then added it was designed by an unnamed "former" Marine Corps Corporal who now works for Apple.

During the press conference to show off his latest golden bauble, Trump said of Cook:

"You know this gentleman, one of the truly great legends of our time in my book."

He later added:

"One of the great and most esteemed business leaders and geniuses and innovators anywhere in the world, Apple CEO Tim Cook. It’s an amazing job."

Many felt the latest Trump bribe would fit in perfectly with the gaudy gold decor that has infested the White House for Trump 2.0.

At the end of a press conference filled with the usual rambling, bragging, and blatant lies, Trump concluded:

"I want to thank Tim Cook. He’s a great, great man, a visionary, a businessman. Just about every quality you can have other than athleticism."

And after Cook gave him such a nice gift?

MAGA Melts Down After 'Woke' Pope Leo Urges The World To 'Search Always For Peace'

MAGA followers were not happy with Pope Leo XIV and accused him of being "woke" after he, in remarks to reporters, implored "people of good will" to "search always for peace."

The Pope spoke out after President Donald Trump insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

CNN aired a fitting montage after President Donald Trump launched a broad attack on several conservative media figures—Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones—accusing them of being “stupid,” attention-seeking, and out of step with his political movement.

Carlson urged U.S. military aides to refuse any orders involving the killing of Iranian civilians. Owens, formerly of Turning Point USA, condemned the administration as “satanic” and called on Congress to remove what she described as the “Mad King Trump.”
