The wise always realize: When Donald Trump speaks, he speaks for America.Īpple, you have been warned. If that doesn't work, Cook might even have to resort to Trump's signature constructive phrase.
If Ive stands impassive, staring into the distance, Cook should look him in the eyes and scream: "Can't you see that we're losing our standing in the market?!" 226, 230 Trials of Alger Hiss, The (Lowenthal, Stracke, Casper, 75, 285. He should hiss with contempt at the mere notion that the precise shade of tangerine matters in the slightest. He shouldn't tolerate Ive's prissy insistence that he hasn't quite got the right feel of curvature for the product. When Donald Trump tells you that you are losing your standing in the market, "asap" cannot be quick enough for your reaction.Īpple's Tim Cook should immediately call Jony Ive into his office and demand that a 6.5-inch iPhone be ready for production within the hour. I am confident that Cupertino has never felt an earthquake more powerful than this. He tweeted: "As an addition, Apple must go to a larger screen now-asap! They're losing their standing in the market!" Speaking not merely for himself, but for the whole future of American industry, Trump took to Twitter on Monday to do what he does best: say the unsaid to startle the undead. No, this is from perhaps America's most prominent, most successful, and most carefully spoken businessman. Nixon had made his mark in 1948 in exposing Alger Hiss and in 1952 was selected. Even though Hiss wasn’t convicted of being a Russian spy (statutes of limitation had expired) we know he was a spy because of the declassification of the Venona Project in 1995.
This isn't from some slick, twin-mouthed analyst or a pundit with a perverse inside track. Trump long before he ran for president in 2016. Remember, Hiss was an advisor to FDR Yalta when we gave Poland to Russia and he worked w/ the Truman administration to create the United Nations.
I am not sure, though, that Apple can possibly ignore the latest brickbat tossed its way. The most likely reason for Trump's reluctance to release his taxes is that they would reveal two facts: 1) He didn't pay any taxes for years and years. It tolerates them like one of those gold-painted men on seaside boardwalks, who stand perfectly still in the face of ludicrous human provocation. Apple is used to the criticisms of the unwashed, the ungainly, and the unbelievably style-challenged devotees of invective and Android.
