you think the next CEO will be any different? the board wouldn't have elevated him to that position unless he was willing to kowtow to trump when needed

To do so was the right thing, as it meant standing up for everyone; giving up on the rights of the unpopular means in the end, none of us have that protection. It's a hell of a stance for a public company to take though, and a time Apple can say they were on the right side of history. Will anyone say the same about Cook being so subservient this time?
