Apple doesn’t love Trump, but Apple CEO Tim Cook is raising money for Paul Ryan and other Republicans

Over the weekend, Apple said that it wouldn’t support the Republican convention —presumably because Apple doesn’t like Donald Trump and his penchant for saying racist things.

But Apple is just fine with Republicans: According to Politico, Apple CEO Tim Cook is hosting a fundraiser next week for Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and "a joint fundraising committee aimed at helping to elect other House Republicans."

It’s worth noting that Cook, not Apple, will be hosting the fundraiser. Then again, Cook runs Apple.

Though Trump’s relationship with establishment Republicans is tense (to put it mildly), Ryan endorsed Trump in early June after a few weeks of dancing around the decision. More recently, Ryan said on TV that it was his "responsibility" to support the "duly elected" nominee of the party. Though Ryan didn’t say this while a gun was pointed at him from offscreen, it sure sounded like it.

For Apple, playing nice with Republicans is a way for the company to mend fences after its long, torturous tussle with the federal government over encryption. Still, Ryan and the GOP establishment agree with Trump on things that Apple has publicly condemned — such as the discriminatory trans bathroom measure passed in North Carolina earlier this year.

An Apple spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
