The "donation" has nothing to do with Apple. Tim Cook is a gay man who doesn't want himself or his family to be lynched by Trump's wandering gangs of violent homophobic and racist thugs. That wasn't a donation - it was protection money for the mob.
Then he should also pay everyone else's ransom for being gay in America.
Fair. Maybe if he'd given some of Apple's ill gotten gains to gay organisations we wouldn't be here!
I think it was his end run around Apple donating the money directly which would have been a complete disaster. I don’t think Cook supports trump in a “rah rah” sort of way, but knows if the company doesn’t pay him suck up money, it will come back to haunt them later.
Either way, it’s still gross.
