Apple CEO Tim Cook has had a particularly recollective and tortuous family relationship with our big son in the White House . To recap , it ’s included Donald Trump’scalls for an Apple boycott , awkward phone callswhere the president promised Cook tax cuts if Apple did more manufacturing in the US , humiliatingadvisory meetings , Cook ’s outrage over Trump’srefusal to objurgate neo - Nazis , and finally , Trumpexaggerating how much manufacturingCook would bring to the US in rally for those tax cuts .
So it ’s no surprisal that while Cook attended a White House state dinner party in DC on Tuesday where Trump was hosting French President Emmanuel Macron , he did so looking extremely uncomfortable . Attending with him was Lisa Jackson , a former Environmental Protection Agency headman who is now an Apple VP — perhaps a little nod to how Trump ’s administration has more or lesscommitted to destroyingthat agency .

As can be seen in the Associated Press video below starting at 1:18 , Cook appear to gulp before show off the spry possible smile at the television camera outside :
If there ’s any solace , Cook was decidedly not the only person entering that room who very dearly wanted to be anywhere else , but sympathize that suffering throughsome presidential pageantrymight have tangible benefit to their bottom line of descent . As noted byPolitico , this particular occasion was brim with some of the state ’s richest bodied leaders .
