> [@Great\_Antibob](#): > > Heā€™s just trying to take credit for Apple. > > For anything in particular at Apple? Nobody knows, including himself. Heā€™s just trying to associate himself with success, couldnā€™t think of anything, and instead of deleting his unthought off the cuff draft like a sane, non-demented individual, just plowed right on ahead. My guess is that youā€™re correct about this. He heard that Tim Cook was stepping down and decided to make it A Story About Meā€“his standard practice. The bits about how Donald the Consultant saved Apple from having to pay actual Consultants is particularly ridiculous. > [@Smapti](#): > > Trumpā€™s plan for the White House Correspondents Dinner Whatever he does to them, they probably deserve.
