“Apple CEO Tim Cook plans to donate $1 million to Donald Trump's inauguration fund, reports Axios. The donation will be a personal donation directly from Cook rather than a donation from Apple”

I’ll defend Apple as being the least shitty of the big tech giants but I can’t defend this.

They’re all “donating” the same amount.

And also this is the largest inaugural fund in history. In comparison to his previous which was $107m this is so far over $150m.

Considering Bidens and both of Obamas were between $50m and $70m is this not ringing alarm bells with anyone? Or is this something to “look” in to in like 7 years time when no one gives a shit.

Beggars belief.

This is how things are going to work going forward.

Even if it is illegal, these people are above the law. Internet just exposing obvious corruption.
