And so there is this relationship between Donald Trump and Tim Cook that is sort of incredible.

Also, Donald Trump famously does not have an iPhone, which I find it quite bizarre that he is so simpatico with Tim Cook and yet doesn't even have an iPhone.

You see this kind of behavior of this like kind of bowing to Apple or this obsession with Apple on like behalf of iPhone users, not some guy with an Android.

Yeah.

There's something there.

There's clearly something there.

I don't think Donald Trump and Xi Jinping would both be friends with just anybody.

And Tim Cook has met Trump on his own kind of

bizarre, falsely glamorous terms, famously gave Donald Trump a like gold and glass trophy in the Oval Office and went to the premiere of the Melania documentary, went to Trump's inauguration, but was not featured in kind of the infamous photo of all of the tech giants like Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos, like sitting on the dais alongside Trump, which was

quite embarrassing and elicited the ire of like liberal America in a really extreme way.

And Tim Cook was not seen there.

And somehow, despite Tim Cook's political aptitude, it is seen as one of the more apolitical tech companies.

I think so.

I think it's just that he's kind of boring to listen to in public.

There are politicians who are genius dealmakers who you would never listen to one of their speeches.

And he's kind of that way.

Apple has denied these accusations, and it's honestly not a scandal that has dogged Tim Cook for very long.

It does play into something he kind of did with Donald Trump.

The company has invested in rare earths mining in the U.S.

and tried to move its mining out of China.
