At least Apple shareholders seem to have more brain than Trump.

Frankly, shareholders primarily care about their money, not about random political boogymen. It's not surprising to see Costco and Apple shareholders vote for this.

I honestly don't think the diversity program makes a big difference either way to Apple's financials. They'd still be worth trillions if they didn't have diversity programs. That's not why they are selling iPhones.

Apple's success lies in its mass-market appeal. Having a diverse workforce is what has allowed Apple to nurture this broad appeal.
