Apple CEO Tim Cook slyly pokes fun at President Trump's slip of the lip.

FILE - In this Wednesday, March 6, 2019 file photo, President Donald Trump talks to Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook during the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board's first meeting in the State Dining Room of the White House in Washington. To President Donald Trump, it was an awkward slip of the lip. To Apple CEO Tim Cook, it was an opportunity to poke some lighthearted fun at a president who has often clashed with the tech industry.

SAN FRANCISCO — To President Donald Trump, it was an awkward slip of the lip. To Apple CEO Tim Cook, it was an opportunity to poke some sly fun at a president who has often clashed with the tech industry. A day after Trump mistakenly referred to Cook at a White House meeting as “Tim Apple” — an understandable slip, perhaps, coming from the owner of the Trump Organization — Cook quietly alteredCook didn’t publicly acknowledge the change, but it didn’t take long for Apple fans to notice and spread the word.

Non-Apple fans, though, may not get the joke. Cook’s Apple-logo icon is only visible on iPhones and Mac computers. On Windows, it’s a blank square; on Android, it renders variously as an X-ed out or blank gray rectangle. That’s not wholly surprising for Apple, which famously prefers its own devices and software over others. Apple didn’t respond to a query about the logo misstep ., the words “Tim” and “Apple” are separated by a dash as if Trump had paused, possibly to thank both the executive and the company.

🍏🍎 'The White House, meanwhile, appears to be engaged in some damage control. In the official transcript of the meeting , the words “Tim” and “Apple” are separated by a dash as if Trump had paused, possibly to thank both the executive and the company.'

“News”

Could Trump have predicted that Tim would change his last name to Apple? If he changed his bame to Apple, while serving as CEO, how would history remember Tim? As the founder of Apple?

Lol

Glad someone has a sense of humor. We found one. It's a start.

What does Tim Crook have to say about his overpriced cellphones!

tim_cook A great honour by the President, Mr. Apple! 👌😀

Tim better be producing something innovative or stock price will suffer.

At least he didn't call him Johnny Appleseed

That was a clue for us, but thanks.

Funny stuff

Real News: ISIS surrenders to US forces in the final pocket of territory the terrorist group held in Syria.() Trump defeats ISIS.

You misspelled Dump.

This is news? Journalism is dead. You prove that over and over again every single day.

It wasn't a slip, it was dumbassery.

WakeUpPeople

What a weird time to be alive

The WH can't even transcribe the actual conversation because Trump made a little slip. His skin is so thin. They can't even represent something so trivial correctly. That dash says it all honestly.

Perception is everything.... this is why u should report without bias

The WH can't even transcribe the actual conversation because Trump made a little slip. His skin is so thin. They can't even represent something so trivial correctly. That hyphen says it all honestly.

The friendship between Tim Apple and Trump doesn’t seem quite right. Wonder why Mr. Apple didn’t call the president Don Orange?

Because she wrote Trump’s business emails for years, sat up on the 26th floor with Felix Sater, and has ‘heard it all’ says Trump, a reporter needs to FINALLY, ACTUALLY speak to Meredith McIver, and a congressional subpoena should follow. .

And he was head of all his classes? Ha! Ha! Sure!

Nothing cute about the head of the world’s largest corporation being playful with the Trumps. Something very wrong with Tim Cook.

Or refer to him as Don Con

How is this legitimate news?

Nobody understands Tim Apple as well as I do. I know all the best apples.

Apple EO explains to Trump that he is actually a descendant of Johnny Appleseed

I like and admire Tim Cook. Trump couldn’t hold a candle next to him.

I feel Trump's face in this thumbnail nails what every person his age feels when talked to about technology tbh.

Trump is incompetent. That's not a slip.

President Traitor

Tim Apple...Donald Chump...whatever!!

And Tim Cook Cooks up a presidential software...program for better results. At the White house

Cripes you can't be objective to save your life anymore can you? Trumps Trump, okay then.

R. Kelley girlfriends. 'My parents told me to tell R. Kelley I was 18.' CBSs Gayle King asks the hard questions: 'But I'm talking about sex. Are y'all doing 3-way sex?'

he poked him. how cute.

Sly? GMAFB

Tim Apple and Donald Russia are good friends, or at least pretend to be. (tim_cook & realDonaldTrump)

Smart shade vs. the idiot.

No worries Tim, we all call Donald “ass-clown”. Oops

Eh, he's still the President. He'll be fine. LOL

It’s not a slip of the lip, Trump is just a moron.

Tim Cook is a traitor for talking him. Disgusting.

Spoiler alert: Trump didn't get it.

Trump. Impeached. Immediately

It’s called teasing each other
