Tim Apple?

Last week, a video surfaced showing President Trump speaking in a meeting with Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, and mistakenly calling him “Tim Apple.” As a result, Tim cook chose to embrace the President’s mess up, and changed his name on Twitter to “Tim Apple.” This lead to a ton of jokes on social media, some of which stated that he even used Tim Cook’s name correctly at an earlier point in the meeting. As funny as this may seem, this was not the first time Trump has done something like this. Last year, he introduced Marillyn Hewson, CEO of Lockheed Martin, as “Marillyn Lockheed.” This really shows how unprofessional President Trump is. As the President of the United States, he should know that during meetings, he should address others correctly, and not by whatever names he wants to call them. In the future, I would not be surprised if we were to see more things similar to this from the President.
