American President Donald Trump mistakenly referred Apple CEO as Tim apple instead of Tim Cook, during the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board meeting at the White House.
“People like Tim you’re expanding all over and doing things that I really wanted you to do right from the beginning. I used to say, ‘Tim, you gotta start doing it here,’ and you really have, you’ve really put a big investment in our country. We really appreciate it very much, Tim Apple,” trump said.

The whole thing might seem silly, but it also highlights the awkward relationship between Apple and the White House in one where they seem to clash at some moments, but where they also play along in order to help advance each other’s interests.
But it seems Apple CEO liked the idea of Apple as his second name. The CEO of the world’s most-valuable technology company changed his name on Twitter to Tim, followed with an apple emoji and some even posted various memes to show their support on this. Even his daughter acknowledged it on Twitter.

Tim Cook never publicly acknowledged the change in his Twitter bio but fans and followers of Apple was too quick to notice.
the change of @tim_cook's name on twitter is @realDonaldTrump's only actual contribution to the world

The best part of Tim Cook changing his Twitter name to Tim Apple is you can’t see the Apple unless you’re on iOS. pic.twitter.com/opk7HKPpRP
