    Getting on Trump’s bad side can mean an anti-trust lawsuit or an end to tariff exemptions. With billions of dollars at stake, the executives would be negligent to act otherwise.

      Wow, I guess we just have to accept their is a wanna be mob boss in the White House!?

      Also, this is far more of a partnership than you think.

      I mean, this is how I justified tim apple’s participation in the techno bunghole club with the gold-based-corning glass sacrifice. Six months in, get in, throw some shit in the air, get out. Fine, i disagree, but whatever.

      But this is nothing. This is just stupid. An EO is nothing. And frankly even the most pedestrian trump watcher knows he’d TACO before losing $1 over “lake fucking america”. So it looks really bad for The Fucking New Guy to pre-cave on nothing that’s this goddamn stupid.

        This isn’t pre-caving, this is supporting. The government and corporations are working hand in hand to fuck everyone over except their share holders.

      Yes, we know how bullies work. Most of us were bullied here.

      The question I guess becomes, if you’re the type of guy to become the CEO of Apple, are you also the type of guy to stand up to a bully if it means costing the company and shareholders billions?

      Probably not.

      And if they were…is Lake Ontario really where you’re gonna draw the line? Is that gonna be the last straw?

      Not excusing him. Just not having high expectations.
