Trump called his friend and Apple CEO Tim Cook ‘Tim Apple’
Apparently Trump thinks Apple’s CEO is named … Tim Apple.
The president flubbed Tim Cook’s name during an American Workforce Policy Advisory Board Meeting on Wednesday while complimenting him on expanding employment in the United States.
“You’ve really put a big investment in our country. We appreciate it very much, Tim Apple.”
Please appreciate both Ivanka Trump and Cook’s complete lack of reactions when Trump slips up. Both manage to breeze past it without cracking up, which is a feat in itself.
It didn’t take long for the reaction tweets to roll in. Read more…

The latest battle between arch-enemies Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump could be the internet.
On Wednesday, Democratic legislators introduced a new bill in both the House and the Senate that would reinstate net neutrality. It’s called the “Save the Internet Act of 2019.” And, as articulated in the bill’s just three pages, it would overturn the Trump FCC’s rules that overturned the Obama-era FCC’s net neutrality protections. And, it would task the FCC with protecting net neutrality across the country.
Last Congress, we voted to restore #NetNeutrality in the Senate.
Now, House and Senate Democrats are introducing a bill to #SaveTheInternet.
Let’s pass the Save The Internet Act in both houses and make the internet free and open again#SaveTheNet https://t.co/hA3DFkSloZ

Did the President just add a digit to a concept he doesn’t understand to make it sound even better?
Trump, as he does, tweeted some out-of-left-field flim-flam Thursday morning, in advance of his trade talks with China. Now, it’s always wise to gird your loins whenever Trump ventures into technology concepts, but this morning was special.

Not only did Trump push for the deployment of 5G technology, but he also advocated for “6G” — a technology that does not exist.
I want 5G, and even 6G, technology in the United States as soon as possible. It is far more powerful, faster, and smarter than the current standard. American companies must step up their efforts, or get left behind. There is no reason that we should be lagging behind on………

Trump will sign an executive order to (finally) focus on AI
Better late than never.
President Donald Trump will sign an executive order to form the American AI Initiative, the White House Office of Science and Technology (WHOST) announced Monday. The order tasks federal agencies to cooperate on advancing research and development in AI, as well as considering legislative frameworks for its governance. As Reuters points out, however, the order does not specify a source of funding for the initiative.
Besides a one-day listening session on AI that the WHOST held in May 2018, the last word the administration gave on AI came from Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who said in 2017 that the prospect of AI automation threatening jobs was “not even on our radar screen.” Read more…
