      In the article, it’s explained why Trump did it. When Trump was first elected, he also maintained a cordial relationship with him to secure benefits for Apple. Is this something to praise? Absolutely no! But is it understandable? For me, it is. Tim Cook also made a statement defending Apple’s core values of equanimity and equality, even after Trump halted equality policies in American companies. You should check what Google and Meta said instead.

      added to list, although from the article this was a personal donation from Cook himself, Apple itself was not expected to make any donations.
