“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.

    Why does such a thing as an inaugural fund exist? Seems like it’s just to facilitate more corruption!

      It doesn’t usually. The ‘why’ in the case is because Trump and his team refuse to sign the ethics agreement to get the normal funding from the government.

        Thanks, it must be amazing for Americans to have a president who won’t sign a standard ethics agreement.

          Up here in Canada, we’re only ever 10 years behind at most.

          Americans have been convinced to sell themselves out.

          Every trump supporter is either a dipshit or someone taking advantage of dipshits.
