Donald Trump’s friend “Tim Apple” — that is, gay Apple CEO Tim Cook — presented the president with a gift made of glass and 24-karat gold Wednesday at the same White House press conference during which Trump announced that Cook’s company would be exempt from a steep new tariff.

Billionaire Apple CEO Tim Cook presented Donald Trump with a gaudy personalized gift boasting a 24-karat gold base as the tech giant woo’ed the president at the White House on Wednesday. Cook dropped in to the White House bearing his golden gift to announce the tech company’s extra $100 billion investment in American manufacturing as the president still waves the threat of tariffs.

The Atlantic’s Tom Nichols reacted, “These are like the gifts that Politburo members used to give to Brezhnev.” The post ‘Paying Tribute to the Tsar’: Apple CEO’s 24-Karat Gold Gift to Trump Sparks Mockery first appeared on Mediaite.
