After pledging an additional $100 billion to domestic manufacturing in the U.S. following threats from Donald Trump to implement tariffs on the company, Apple CEO Tim Cook had the dubious honor of attending a press event in the White House alongside the president himself — during which he presented Trump with a custom glass plaque on a 24-carat gold stand.
“Not only is it embarrassing for Cook, but I guarantee Trump won’t remember what that is or who gave it to him,” says Seth Meyers in the Late Night clip above. “Within a week he’s going to turn that thing onto its side and use it as a plate for one of his Big Macs.”
The strained meeting was capped off by Trump giving Cook a complement that abruptly turned into an insult. “I want to thank Tim Cook, he’s a great, great man, a visionary, a businessman, just about every quality you can have…other than athleticism,” he said to reporters.
“You’re making fun of his physical appearance?” says Meyers. “Did you also put a ‘kick me’ sign on his back?”
