Trump rants at 'Tim Apple'

The President made the announcement of Cook's departure all about himself, claiming their relationship began when Cook reached out for presidential assistance during Trump's first term.

Trump expressed surprise that the CEO of such a large company would call him directly, which he interpreted as a sign of respect.

Despite his praise, Trump also pressured Apple and other tech giants not to seek tariff refunds, warning that he would 'remember' those who did.

The comments come as Apple transitions to a new era under John Ternus, who faces a complex relationship with the White House.
