Donald Trump reacted to the announcement of Tim Cook stepping down as CEO of Apple Inc. later this year, sharing insights on their previous communications in a post on Truth Social. Trump recalled that Cook reached out directly during his presidency for assistance on various issues affecting Apple, which he found impressive compared to typical Washington practices involving intermediaries. He noted that Cook's direct approach led to quick resolutions of several significant issues, describing these instances as '3 or 4 BIG HELPS.' Trump also highlighted Apple's remarkable growth during Cook's leadership, with the company's market capitalization increasing from approximately $350 billion to over $4 trillion.
