Apple CEO Tim Cook added an Apple emoji to his Twitter name Thursday, one day after President Donald Trump called him “Tim Apple” at a meeting at the White House.

The gaffe came during a meeting Wednesday with the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board, according to The Hill.

“You’ve really put a big investment in our country,” Trump said Wednesday. “We really appreciate it very much, Tim Apple.”

He should be thankful that he wasn’t called Fiona

Facebook is clearly no friend. Apple's Tim Cook was probably a Never Trumper before, but not now. We'll take all the Silicon Valley supporters of Trump we can find!

This misnaming of Cook was probably intentional to see if we could get more press coverage of Cook at that meeting.

Apparently Cook and Trump are working closely together.

Wonderful development! And I think Cook is onboard with future measures to protect privacy and bring fairness to conservatives to social media. In fact, Cook has been publishing his opinions on this crucial topic.

Cook mentioned that Apple was founded by a non-College graduates. And he suggested that every American kid be exposed to "coding" or computer programming before they leave high school. Good idea.

And how about a class for kids on operating a lawn mower? In my Georgia suburban neighborhood, I'm stilling waiting (2 years) to see the first neighborhood kid mowing a lawn.

Or Donald Trump! This is why Trump puts his name on everything he builds. LOL

Tim Cook is an open homosexual, though he may have been outed unwillingly.

It is a sad testament to the moral climate of our society that this is not considered a character defect sufficient to prevent such persons from holding positions of public trust.

That being said, I don’t see him openly supporting many left-wing, anti-freedom agenda items that many other billionaire executives seem to be so fond of. And he had the good nature to respond to the president’s mistake with humor and not derision. Much more classy than most of the left. Or is he part of the left? I’m not sure.

If not intentional, fact is he took it in stride.
Code is important, yet working to achieve a working lawnmower is
just as necessary. Some might even need classes on
how to properly mow a lawn and other landscape maintenance ;-)

I still think Trump giving the Lawn Boy a chance to mow the White House lawn was one of the coolest things Trump ever did. It was a psychological shot in the arm for all budding entrepreneurs and American dreamers.

Try to imagine Barkie doing that. I can’t. Sigh.

God bless Texas. If you can combine the physical and spiritual strength of the cowboy with the systematic thinking of a coder, that’s all we need for the American republic to become great again.
