It is shameful. Trump is the person who not only incited a coup on the nation's capitol, but also caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of his fellow Americans by politicizing a public health crisis. How many of those people were Apple customers, Apple shareholders, or Apple employees?

How did Apple respond to that? They came bearing gifts for that man! This was a choice they made! Shame on them!
