In my opinion, this is exactly the right response to Trump’s ignorance and stupidity. Ridicule is a powerful force.

I like this bold, back-to-the-past nomenclature approach featuring occupational surnames, so we will again have men and women with the last names of Smith and Baker and Hunter and Fletcher and Carpenter (and maybe now Coder and Paperpusher).

Thank you for delivering us to this exciting new future, President Donald Idiot.

Should have clapped back with Donald Crime Syndicate -if our last name is that of our employer.

That, and also giving up on the notion that meeting with the dumb SOB will produce anything other than a photo op and a facepalm.

By this point, a whole day later, Trump has probably forgotten anything about the meeting.

However, he will take credit for a great marketing idea and demand a percentage of any increased sales of Apple products or value of increased name-recognition or branding opportunities for Cook.

From Tim Cook: At least Trump didn’t call me Tim Dell.

If you’re one of his employees, do you dare call him Boss Apple?

Cook and Ivanka were sitting on opposite sides of him, watching him as he talked, and neither showed any form of surprise when he said that. It was like they both know by now that the cognitive loss is going to show itself regularly and they’re used to it.

Perhaps, like me, they strain to not hear his voice, or at least to not parse any syllables. If he says anything noteworthy others will tell me.

But if he runs the company, why hasn’t he called it after himself? How else are people supposed to know how important and successful he is?

Ivanka is too botoxed up to show any form of facial expression.

He should have called himself Steve Jobs II, or to be proper, Woz III.

How long before Donald Trump takes the credit for this decline?

Also her nose has been remodelled, obvious if one compares her teenager photos. Her face had some character then. Someone must have convinced her that bland is beautiful.

Less than a nanosecond, even though he had zero to do with it.
