Hours after former U.S. President Donald J. Trump survived assassination attempt after major and rather inexplicable catastrophic security lapse where a rooftop with clear sight and within rifle range was seemingly left unchecked by security personnel, Apple CEO Tim Cook weighed in on X.

The FBI subsequently identified 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania as the suspect in the attempted assassination. Crooks was killed by a Secret Service agent after Crooks successfully fired numerous shots from the rooftop wounding Trump, critically injuring two others, and killing one attendee.

Tim Cook via X:

I pray for President Trump’s rapid recovery. My thoughts are with him, the other victims and the Trump family. I strongly condemn this violence.

  1. This election was over before this disaster, but it’s going into historic landslide territory now.

  2. All I can say is, I’m glad the investigation is now in the hands of the FBI. I’m hoping they might get the assistance of the 50, or so, IC professionals that were helpful with a prior event.

      1. I don’t know who Karma is but you have spent years acting as Mango Mussolini’s bitch.

        It is hilarious that you think your hero gives a shi!t about you. He demonstrated 4 years of incompetence and golfing, and you got all warm and fuzzy when his caddy posted his red meat tweets. If this is the best either party can come up with to lead, then the nation is swirling the drain.

        1. In-between golf games and deflecting & denouncing fallacious affiliations with Russia, he happened to orchestrate one of the most clever, functional and comprehensive ME peace plans, ever. It was summarily destroyed by the same guy that botched a pullout of Afganistan, where 13 US service members and 200 Afghan citizens were killed.

          10 points for Mango, imo! (adding “Mussolini” would be playing along with the tiring and lazy; “he’s racists, nazi, totalitarian” claims thrown by the ID Politics crew).

      1. You are delusional and should get your raging case of TDS treated, bless your heart.

        It’s over:

        “In this case, the Attorney General purported to appoint a private citizen as Special Counsel to prosecute a former President on behalf of the United States. But, I am not sure that any office for the Special Counsel has been “established by Law,” as the Constitution requires. Art. II, §2, cl. 2. By requiring that Congress create federal offices “by Law,” the Constitution imposes an important check against the President — he cannot create offices at his pleasure. If there is no law establishing the office that the Special Counsel occupies, then he cannot proceed with this prosecution. A private citizen cannot criminally prosecute anyone, let alone a former President.” – Justice Thomas, TRUMP v. UNITED STATES, July 1, 2024
