This is attempting to buy “a seat at the table.” I have a lot of negative feelings about the morality of that.

But what really stands out to me is how misguided the attempt is here. Trump only rewards absolute fealty - not campaign cash. If they really want a “seat at the table,” they’re going to have to pony up a lot more than just their money.

I wonder how much of his dignity "Tim Apple" is willing to sacrifice this time. It'll be interesting to see how employees of progressive, LGBT-friendly companies like Apple square their leaders sitting down with people who actively legislate against them. They might ignore things like Apple suppressing LGBT content in Russia but now it's on their doorstep.

I think it is common courtesy to wish someone well after something bad happens to them, regardless of political party affiliation.

not just something bad, after an assassination attempt.

"hey man, sorry about the, you know, shooting thing"
