    Tim Cook is just waiting out a lame duck President, as is pretty much every other business leader who is currently paying this man lip service.
    Three years is a long time to wait.

    Maybe Tim can have Trump design the next iPhone Pro.
    ….or Elon.  It would have sharp edges to injure you if you hold it wrong, and be held together with glue.

    Seems like a smart man’s genuine appreciation of another smart man. 

    Good to see. 

    Cook is they’re to look ahead and can see the potential blessing of current moves down the road  
    We had 50 years of US leadership selling out our manufacturing base to a Communist regime and it seems most people are only angry at President Trump for trying to change that course.  The CCP is literally fascist. 🤷‍♂️ 
    That is why those fugly red MAGA hats are made in……Oh never mind.

    I’m still ticked at Apple’s indifference to direct shareholder benefits. Seriously, a 4% increase in dividend payments when they declare another massive $100 billion in buybacks? It should have been at least a 10% increase and they could have taken a few billion off the buybacks and nobody would have noticed. I’d also rather see them begin to pay off the $132 billion in debt instead of constantly increasing it in order to pay for buybacks. This is not good, folks.
    I agree with you but unfortunately buybacks is the “artificial” way of propping up the stock value. They’ve been legal since the Reagan years.
    I also saw somewhere that out of the all big tech companies, Apple has been the most aggressive with these. MS being a somewhat distant 2nd. 
    Without them, maybe AAPL wouldn’t be valued as high as it is now.
