President Donald Trump says he didn’t slip up when he referred to Apple CEO Tim Cook as “Tim Apple” at a White House meeting.
Trump tweeted Monday: “I quickly referred to Tim + Apple as Tim/Apple as an easy way to save time & words. The Fake News was disparagingly all over this, & it became yet another bad Trump story!”
Trump made the comment last week. After the session, Cook altered his Twitter profile, replacing his last name with the Apple logo.
At a dinner for Republican National Committee donors at his Florida club Friday, Trump complained that his “Tim Apple” flub was “fake news,” said a person who heard them and spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss Trump’s remarks. Trump’s complaint was first reported by Axios.
Apple has more syllables than Cook. https://t.co/Lx5domlgUm

At a recent round table meeting of business executives, & long after formally introducing Tim Cook of Apple, I quickly referred to Tim + Apple as Tim/Apple as an easy way to save time & words. The Fake News was disparagingly all over this, & it became yet another bad Trump story!

So it seems the Tim Apple story really got under Trump's skin.

Everyone knows that it’s Tim gates anyways
This idiot, who rants endlessly at the start of these media eventsreally cares abut saving a fraction of a second by not using the guy’s entire name ??? He simply lies by saying don’t bleieve what you hear or see….just listen to what I tell you you are saying and hearing. Everyone at that meeting has been ridiculig him behind his back including his own staff. i
Big deal. It must be a slow news day. Or more accurately another media-hates-Trump day.
And if he did call him “tim apple”, why is this a news item??? What is it a difference if he called someone an insulting name? And who even said it was meant to be insulting? But even if yes, who cares? Is he not qualified now to be a president beacuse he is a goy like every other goy that lives a non-torah life? What is wrong with us???
