In my opinion, this is exactly the right response to Trump’s ignorance and stupidity. Ridicule is a powerful force.
I like this bold, back-to-the-past nomenclature approach featuring occupational surnames, so we will again have men and women with the last names of Smith and Baker and Hunter and Fletcher and Carpenter (and maybe now Coder and Paperpusher).
Thank you for delivering us to this exciting new future, President Donald Idiot.
Should have clapped back with Donald Crime Syndicate -if our last name is that of our employer.
That, and also giving up on the notion that meeting with the dumb SOB will produce anything other than a photo op and a facepalm.
By this point, a whole day later, Trump has probably forgotten anything about the meeting.
However, he will take credit for a great marketing idea and demand a percentage of any increased sales of Apple products or value of increased name-recognition or branding opportunities for Cook.
