📲 Yesterday, August 7, 2025, Tim Cook (CEO of Apple) presented Donald Trump with a plaque (a piece of American-made glass) set on a base of 24-carat gold.
We already reported that Apple announced plans to invest an additional $100 billion in expanding production in the USA. Is this gift a “confirmation” of the partnership? Formally, yes, it looks like a token of cooperation. In fact, it is a beautiful gesture filled with deep meaning.
This is not just a souvenir, but a carefully calculated symbol: the golden base as a sign of recognition and respect, as well as a subtle reminder that in a world ruled by technology, eternal value still shines with a golden glow.
Gold has always been a tool to express admiration and a willingness to play by the rules of the gift’s recipient. It emphasizes the importance of the moment and the person, turning the exchange into almost a ritual.
In political and business worlds, gold is the language of grandeur:
– grand halls and elevators gleaming with metal,
– portraits framed in gold,
– commemorative awards and plaques,
– unique handcrafted items.
The choice of 24-carat gold is no accident: it’s the highest purity, a symbol of “no compromises.” Here it merges with another absolute modern value — the Apple brand, a leader in high technology. Two worlds meet in one object: tradition reaching back centuries, and innovation shaping the future.
So, Apple plays by the rules of the “royal court.” Apple is a company that has everything calculated down to the last detail, and when the tech giant makes a loud gesture or gives a symbolic gift, it’s no spontaneity but a carefully planned move. Such a gift is an act of public lobbying wrapped in the package of a personal cult, the ability to say through a material symbol: “We recognize your status and want to speak to you in your language.”
💥 Why it matters
In the global economy, victory is not always for the one with the best product. Often it goes to the one who knows how to pick the right side, say the right words, and make the “symbolic” gesture at the right time.
In this sense, Apple shows a masterclass in political PR wrapped in business packaging.
