There's Michael Dell, Adolph Coors, and Tim Apple. Well, almost. President Donald Trump seems to have gotten a bit confused about the name of Apple's CEO on Wednesday. During a meeting with the Apple CEO and other members of his American Workforce Policy Advisory Board, Trump referred to Tim Cook as "Tim Apple" while praising him for investing in the US. "We appreciate it very much, Tim Apple," Trump said.
Main Idea: President Donald Trump accidentally called Apple CEO Tim Cook “Tim Apple” during a White House meeting, drawing attention to his praise of Apple’s U.S. investment.
Key Points:
The gaffe may add to doubts about Trump’s attention to detail, which can unsettle voters and markets.
Apple’s push for US investment and coding training could help some workers and students build skills.
