\"The Fake News was disparagingly all over this,\" he said, \"it became yet another bad Trump story!\"
The White House official transcript relayed the exchange as \"We appreciate it very much, Tim — Apple,\" implying the president paused.
In the video of the event, he doesn't appear to pause.
The day after the meeting, Cook had a bit of fun at the president’s expense.
The tech executive changed his Twitter name to “Tim Apple” last Thursday, with the Apple an emoji of his company’s logo.
As far as interactions between the two go, this one was pretty tame.
Cook has previously criticized Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accord, condemned the president’s so-called travel ban, and pressured Trump to preserve DACA.
As a candidate, Trump called for a boycott of Apple during a dispute over the company’s role in unlocking the iPhone of the suspected San Bernardino shooter.
