Apple continues to kowtow to Donald Trump. It was bad enough that CEO Tim Cook sucked up by presenting him with a a customized plaque with a 24-karat gold base.
Now CNN reports that Apple, Amazon, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Google, Coinbase, Comcast and Meta are just some of the major companies who have made donations to build President Donald Trump’s proposed 90,000-square-foot ballroom, according to the White House. Trump has repeatedly said that work on the ballroom is privately funded by himself and donors and will cost nothing to taxpayers.
And the whole ballroom project is horrible in my opinion. As CNN notes, images of the demolition of the existing East Wing, where the new ballroom will be located, have spurred apoplexy among Trump’s detractors and growing criticism from architectural and preservation groups.
Trump, who acts more like a king than a president, has given thumbs up to the total destruction of the full East Wing of the White House to make room for the $300 million ballroom, contradicting the promises that the project would not interfere with the existing U.S. landmark.
“President Trump’s desecration of the White House is an insult to the American people and a betrayal of his obligation to safeguard our history and heritage,” U.S. Senator Angus King, an independent of Maine, said in a statement on Wednesday.
Amen to that. And it’s one thing for Apple to try to stay under Trump’s vindictive radar. It’s another to kiss his boots.
