Trump highly praised Cook: he is a loyal fan and his career is unparalleled.

President Trump expressed his admiration for current Apple CEO Tim Cook on social media: "I have always been a loyal fan of Cook, as well as a fan of Jobs. However, I believe that if Jobs had not left us so early and continued to lead the company instead of Cook taking over, the company would have done well but not as outstanding as it has under Cook's leadership. During my five years as president, Cook would call me, albeit not too often, and I would help within my ability. After several major assists over the years, I began telling everyone that this person is a great manager and leader. He would call me, I would help solve a problem for him, and he would always get things done quickly without paying exorbitant amounts to expensive consultants. In summary, Cook's professional career is truly remarkable, unmatched by anyone. He will continue to create outstanding achievements for Apple and any future endeavors he chooses to pursue. Cook is an extraordinary person!"
