Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump I have always been a big fan of Tim Cook, and likewise, Steve Jobs, but if Steve was not taken from the Planet Earth so young, and ran the company instead of Tim, the company would have done well, but nowhere near as well as it has under Tim. For me it began with a phone call from Tim at the beginning of my First Term. He had a fairly large problem that only I, as President, could fix. 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.

The fees would be paid but the job would not have gotten done. 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 ass." Anyway, he explained his problem, a tough one it was, I felt he was right and got it taken care of, quickly and effectively. That was the beginning of a long and very nice relationship. During my five years as President, Tim would call me, but never too much, and I would help him where I could. Years latter, after 3 or 4 BIG HELPS, I started to say to people, anyone who would listen, that this guy is an amazing manager and leader. He makes these calls to me,

Thelp him out (but not always, because he will, on occasion, be too aggressive in his ask!), and he gets the job done, QUICKLY, without a dime being given to those very expensive (millions of dollars!) consultants around town who sometimes get it done, and sometimes don't. Anyway, Tim Cook had an AMAZING career, almost incomparable, and will go on and continue to do great work for Apple, and whatever else he chooses to work on. Quite simply, Tim Cook is an incredible guy!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP 235 ReTruths 1.07k Li... 4/21/26, 5:42 AM

Trump on Tim Cook:

“I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to ‘kiss my ass.’”

Believing Ohtani is innocent is like MAGA cultists believing Trump speaks and behaves in good faith.

Mine shouldn’t even count as controversial, because they’re so obviously true:

Ohtani and the Dodgers threw his interpreter under the bus, and MLB helped cover it up.

The pee tape is real, but also not even necessary. Trump’s behavior in regard to Russia has not been affected by its existence.

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

Asshole car

My asshole car of the week nominee:

Speaking of looking old, Suggs looks 35 and he’s only like, 24?

Behind Trump’s Public Bravado on the War, He Grapples With His Own Fears The president’s impulsive style has never been tested in a sustained military conflict, and he’s been ruminating on Jimmy Carter’s failure in Iran.

This must-read @wsj.com article (gift link) is overflowing with compelling evidence of Trump’s mental derangement and incapacity. But by not calling it that, it normalizes the dangerously abnormal. We are all in terrible danger as long as he remains in power. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN." Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.

Whatever you do,

I was thinking he’s probably frustrated by this point, but if so, he’s not letting it show.

I saw them at SXSW in March 2001. Then again that Fall. I thought This Is It was great, but after that I lost interest for whatever reason.

“Let all the children boogie…”

We’re rocking out to The Specials at my house.

"Just saying what everyone's thinking!"

I have a Coventry 3rd kit from several years ago honoring local boys The Specials. And a similar track jacket as well. Happy to see they’ll be joining the EPL next season.

In order to effectively boycott the Ellison empire, I’d literally have to get rid of my television.

That wasn’t so hard, was it?

Legend.

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

Without saying your age, post your favorite film that was released the year you turned 18.

When I lived in SF, I would get home from a late night out and think, "There's people getting ready for work on the east coast right now!" 😂

34 felony convictions.

I have been of the opinion that Arsenal finished 2nd the past three seasons because they were genuinely the 2nd best team. They didn’t bottle anything. It was the natural order coming to pass. But if they don’t win this season, they will have definitely bottled it.
