    So I’m thinking, if a US company get very successful in their business model & it get rich it becomes monopolistic.. 
    Will Facebook be the next? 
    Hopefully. 
    Careful. There's a few American tech companies who have become behemoths. Apple and Amazon are two who immediately come to mind. This administration would not have been one I would expect to be insisting on business success being penalized. 
    The judiciary is *supposed* to be independent of the administration. That’s kind of the point of building a democracy upon three separate but equal branches of government.

  • Trump confirms he reduced tariffs to help Tim Cook

    sphericspheric
    Tim Cook didn't "donate" that $1 million to buy a seat at the inauguration ceremony for nuthin'.

    That's how this administration works.

  • Apple accused of corruption

    sphericspheric
    No. She accuses Apple of bribery. 

    She's accusing the Trump administration of corruption. 

    Tim Cook bought the million-dollar inauguration ceremony seat, because that's the price of doing business under Trump. 

    It's quite possible that Cook convinced Trump to drop the tariffs, and it's extremely likely that the only reason he had Trump's ear on this was because of that million-dollar, er… "donation".

  • Apple stock bloodbath continues after China applies retaliatory tariffs

    sphericspheric
    Okay, so Tr*mp bankrupted a number of BUSINESSES he ran, including several casinos, which are notoriously near impossible to bankrupt. 

    Explaining to us how he’s ruined most of his businesses while completely avoiding personal accountability is absolutely spot on. 

    I’m not sure that was the point you were TRYING to make, but you make it well!

    Tim Apple should have realised that donating to Trump only buys you access, not truth or favours.

    The question is, is Trump acting the way he does because of some overall strategy, or does he just react on a day to day basis based on his unrivalled narcissism and state of mind from moment to moment?


    Imagine what you could do if you were a billionaire or multi-multimillionaire (like most of Tr*mp's cabinet) and knew, say, a day or two in advance that the stock market would crash by almost ten percent because of some insane announcement… you and your buddies could make BILLIONS, literally overnight.
