Trump Calls Apple CEO 'Tim Apple'

In this Majority Report clip, Donald Trump's brain cells are composed of Diet Coke molecules. We love it!

"Apple CEO Tim Cook wants you to know he’s in on the joke after President Donald Trump mistakenly called him “Tim Apple” during an event at the White House this week. He changed his name on Twitter to just that — or, rather, Tim and the Apple logo.

The whole thing might seem silly (and it is), but it also highlights the awkward relationship between Apple and the White House — one where they seem to clash at some moments, but where they also play along in order to help advance each other’s interests.

Trump sometimes uses Apple as a punching bag. On the campaign trail, he called for a boycott of the company, and he has often complained that Apple should build more of its products in the United States.

Cook has spoken out against Trump too. He has criticized Trump’s immigration policies and been vocal on family separation and the Muslim ban. Apple has also warned that Trump’s tariffs might force it to raise prices.

Despite their public sparring, Trump and Apple aren’t enemies — at least not when it’s convenient."*

Haha!! Looks like the President's dementia triggers the Libs!!!

[markmower]

It's like his handlers were telling him during the prep before the appearance "Remember his name is Tim, from Apple! " Hahahaha!

Let's not compare APPLES and ORANGES here now.... you hear?

[breeeegs]

Are you telling me his name isn't Bill Microsoft?!! Oh I've been making such a fool out of myself!

My favourite part of that clip is Ivanka slowly nodding as she watches her dad's brain turn into soup before the whole world.

@2:07 Note: It's not "nucular missiles", but rather "nuclear missiles".

He's a horrible person .. But he's entertaining to watch

[sillyone]

Freudian slip, or dementia indicator?

[UltaBlueRev]

His tweet today trying to cover this up is genuinely concerning

Trump is Teddy from Bon's Burgers, "Bob Burgers".

You know what it is: he's so used to his own last name being a brand that now he just assumes that everyone else's last name is the product they're peddling. Tim Apple. Bill Microsoft. Dave Koch.

Remember, too, that when talking with Marilyn Hewson, the CEO of Lockheed-Martin, he called her Marilyn Lockheed.

If Tim had a son Trump would call him Tim iPad mimi4

President Leavenworth has nice ring to it...don'cha think?

[jerseygirlinvermont]

It's not the only time he's done it either. When he was introducing Marillyn Hewson, CEO of Lockheed Martin at the podium he looked right at her and introduced her as Marillyn Lockheed!! If looks could kill the one she gave him... well you know!!

The true issue is that he doesn't care enough about anyone, but himself, to actually learn their names. Yet his cult-like followers will insist that he said "Tim, Apple as in Tim from Apple when we all know that there was absolutely no pause between Tim and Apple it's gotten to the point where they not only do no critical thinking, now they do no thinking at all!!

He is the Apple of Donny Dump's eye.

Pence is probably running the show as the Prez. self destructs.

Bush jr was the funniest. Discussion over.

You haven't met my other friend Bill micro

This is straight out of Jennifer Government, interesting read. It's set in a world with a more extreme form of capitalism where company names are workers last names and government is kind of irrelevant compared to corporate rule. It's not like he could be bothered to say Tim from Apple if Trump can't remember what to call him.
