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?

Woman Sparks Debate After Accusing Frontier Airlines Of Kicking Her Off Flight For Being Deaf

Let this Frontier Airlines saga be a reminder to all of us that not all disabilities and needs are visible, so when a person requests accommodations, it's better to believe them.

TikToker @legallyswiftie13 posted in 2024 that, though she was in her early twenties, she discovered that she would be rapidly losing her hearing, which was discovered at a routine medical check-up. Though she could still speak and hear, it would become increasingly difficult for her to hear, especially when there were competing noises in the area.

Former GOP Senator Gets Brutal Wakeup Call After Criticizing People For Playing 'Candy Crush' Instead Of 'Making Babies'

Ben Sasse represented Nebraska in the United States Senate from 2015 to 2023. As a Midwestern moderate, the sometimes controversial Sasse was often critical of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump on social media and on the Senate floor.

At one point, the Nebraska GOP censured him because of his criticism of Trump. But Sasse, like Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins, would still vote with the majority of his party when his vote was needed to back Trump's agenda.
