Tim Cook did the same thing with Biden. Also, why did Wesley coin the President-Elect as controversial? He won in an electoral college landslide and also won the popular vote by over 4 million votes. I’d say the country clearly stated who they wanted. No controversy here folks. Maybe let’s just stick with tech news and not show our biased political views in a tech article.
He's controversial not because he won, but because of who he is and what he believes. There's nothing biased or even political about that. The mountain of lawsuits, assault claims, overt racism, sexism, and indignation for any country that isn't the United States makes him a controversial president.
Saying someone is controversial isn't an insult or attack. It's a simple fact.
That’s your opinion. Many of us believe it was Biden, his family, business dealings, and policies that are controversial in addition to the law fare waged against the former and future President.
We appreciate the articles, but perhaps they can be a little more universal instead than of obviously creating a dividing line.
Literally anyone can be labeled controversial by anyone who disagrees with them. Doesn’t make it so.
When the majority of the country approves of the guy enough to make him president again, it’s not what believes or stands for that’s controversial. Just the facts.
I don't know what to say except words have meaning and you don't have to read our website. It's not biased to call him controversial, but if that hurts your feelings then find an article that will lie and make you feel better I guess.
Words do have meaning. That was my point. Your opinion about the president is your opinion. You are entitled to it, but your need to shoehorn your opinion everywhere possible when necessary - to the point where you are actively encouraging longtime website members (who have been with the site longer than yourself) to go elsewhere is antithetical to any business goal in addtiion to just being rude. Doesn't seem very professional. And that comment in bold proves it. Nowhere did I display emotion. I simply stated facts. If that hurts your feelings, maybe you should be doing something else.
The thing that you have complained about as being the writer’s opinion - that Donald Trump is controversial - is not just an objective fact, but an understatement of fact. Like him or don’t like him, the mere mention of Trump is “likely to give rise to public disagreement.” This has been proven literally millions upon millions (upon millions) of times over the last decade. It’s a fact you have proven one more time yourself right here by reacting to this article.
It’s telling that your reaction to the mere mention of this fact is that it must be some sort of slight against your hero. How fragile is he (and by extension, are you) that anything less than affirmative adoration must be called out as objectionable opinion?
I suspect that if an article here referred (also factually) to President Biden as “controversial,” you would say it’s a euphemistic and therefore objectionable “opinion” in support of Mr. Biden.
You are entitled to your own opinions, but not to your own facts. You reaction here and the split vote last November affirm that Donald Trump is controversial. If you aren’t capable of accepting that fact, then you should indeed consider retreating to only those media sources that will tell you what you want to hear. There are plenty of them, and they have certainly made a lucrative industry of catering to your sensitivities while making a shambles of our country’s public discourse.
Thanks for sharing your opinion of my opinion about his opinion. As always, your opinion is welcomed, even though you don’t know fact from fiction.
The ability to continue to do business. Trump has promised to place excessive tariffs on imports between 25% and 100%. Some of that is no doubt Trump bullshit scare tactics. But he's in a position to make a lot of it happen, stacking all three branches as he has. If any company runs afoul of him they can look forward to a lot of interference in their business. Congressional hearings, FBI investigations who knows what. It's his stacked deck and he'll be dealing the hands.
If the shoe fits then.

January 6th 2021 would like to have several words with you.

Well, the lawfare against him has certainly been controversial. Which is why it’s all falling apart now.

So you’re saying he will conduct lawfare, just like Biden and the rest of the democrats?

So you're saying giving Trump lawful due process for the crimes he's lawfully been charged and lawfully convicted with is wrong? You're saying he is above the law? He thinks so too.
You are in denial in presenting your false equivalency. Trump and the RNC have been proudly conducting an abuse of what you imply is lawful warfare since 2016, presenting outright lies, rumors and innuendo as truths. To say Biden and Democrats have done the same is MAGA at its best. It appears that in your mind Trump and the RNC have committed no crimes and/or unethical conduct whatsoever.
You ignore established, documented fact. Worse you actually deny established documented fact, and choose to support and espouse baseless accusations which is Trump's and RNC's stock in trade. That's Job 1 in the MAGA handbook. No doubt you will be amply rewarded. At the end of the next four years you can return and tell us all the ways America and your life was better kneeling to Trump. They won't be the same things.
I've been a faithful Apple supporter for many years. This is so disappointing. We need to support and vote in Dems and responsible Repubs to out this Sociopath/Convicted Felon.

From someone outside the U.S. (I am from England), I find it baffling that Trump 1) would even stand as a candidate to be president and 2) would actually be elected! Why is American politics all about money? It appears the mega-rich pay in and get what they want. Ask Trump on his views on homosexuality (Tim Cook is gay), or misogyny (Trump has previous here). Truly, in a country that size, you would think there were far better candidates. It appears to be all about money. Democracy does not exist in the USA.
There's a long history of events that have lead to this. From Reagan's horrible policies to Citizens United removing campaign contribution limitations, to the creation of legalized money laundering with SuperPACs, and countless other things. I won't even get into the lack of integrity of so-called news outlets pushing a narrative of fear by spreading lies. Trump only was possible because of all these failures that led to lifelong grifter, liar, and sexual predator as POTUS.
It's said that he US can survive 4 years of a bad president. Typically I'd agree, except we're not dealing with someone that loves the US who is moving things in a direction that's not sustainable. We're dealing with a traitor who owes Putin and who won't hesitate to destroy every aspect of this country to protect himself. There is no honorable person who will be in charge in a couple weeks.
What's sad is that I know some Trump supporters. The ones I know personally are just politically ignorant. They literally have the Fox News logo burned into their TV and think Tucker Carlson was news (when he was on). They're old, early duped, and easily scared by a changing world. They are simply easy marks for being scammed. Then there are others who simply want to see everything burn — and I see several on this website. They don't think Trump will actually help them, but love the idea that someone else like them, with no moral fiber, who hates woman, who hates foreigners, and for some reason are fine with a pedophile as POTUS. This group isn't being duped by Trump's grift, they simply want to see it destroyed because they are too insecure to admit that they're failures because of their own life choices and inadequacies.
Trump is a controversal figure. I think leaving it at that was actually pretty generous considering *emphatically gestures at everything.* Like him or hate him, he certainly doesn't need you to go to bat on his behalf. He just won an election after all. However, If you're going to argue please at least try and do so in good faith
For the naysayers and complainers...you need to get on board that you want to be on Trump's good side. Apple needs him to clamp down on the EU and other countries trying to punish Apple for being successful and trying to make Apple share the parts of the iPhone that make it an Apple product. Apple is under attack from the rest of the world and having a bully in place is going to help put everyone else in check.
Great job Tim! Now your customers will associate Apple with crony capitalism, and the decline of democracy. Is that the marketing message you were hoping for?

Tim didn’t become CEO of one of the biggest companies in the world without knowing how to play his part.
