I just want to point out I started typing this questionnaire before https://www.businessinsider.com/tim-cook-response-trump-relationship-criticism-2026-3 went live, and timestamps have us within 10 minutes of each other. I had not seen that and this wasn't a take on that.

But having posted, giving my feed a quick scroll, I just saw that article's headline (haven't read it proper).

Coincidence!

Sign of the times that it's that much of A Thing!

Cook personally donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural committee in January 2025
