Watch everyone now bend over backward to justify this as some sort of forced move that Cook HAD to do.

Tim Cook, reluctantly supporting Trump, because it's the savvy move for Apple…

Tim Cook… reluctantly supporting Trump…

Tim Cook… supporting Trump…

Are we getting it yet?

Have you considered the possibility that Tim Cook just… supports Trump?

Like so many other mega-rich CEOs?

@marcoarment We don't know what others think, they may betray themselves with their own thoughts, and words can certainly be deceiving inwards and outwards.

This is why, especially when we are in doubt about someone's intentions, we focus on what they do. We know others' (and our own) intentions by accepting actions as facts.

If Cook gives money to Trump he does support Trump, no matter what he may or may not think in private, say or not say in public. It's done. It's a fact.

@reichenstein @marcoarment There were two types of company in the Third Reich. The first tried to survive as best they could. The others actively supported the Nazis in the hope that they would not be undermined but favoured. I don't know how history will judge the collaboration with the fascists. But from a moral point of view, such a decision is hardly comprehensible, no matter what is at stake in business terms.

@core_ @marcoarment It is fully comprehensible if you stop projecting a different intention to what the deed, the fact, the factum, "what has been done", is.
