Tim Cook wishes Trump a ‘rapid recovery’ after rally shooting

Apple CEO Tim Cook has responded to tonight’s shooting that took place at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania.

“I pray for President Trump’s rapid recovery. My thoughts are with him, the other victims and the Trump family,” Cook wrote in a post on X. “I strongly condemn this violence.”

In the middle of a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania today, a gunman opened fire. In a post on social media, Trump said he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.”

According to multiple reports, one rallygoer was killed in the shooting, while two others are in serious condition. The suspected gunman is also dead. Trump is “fine,” according to his campaign.

Cook and Trump had a number of interactions during the former president’s time in the White House. The Apple CEO met with and earned praise from Trump multiple times, while also criticizing his policies and the January 6 insurrection.

Cook has long stated his belief that it’s much better to be involved in the conversation, particularly when you disagree, than it is to be on the sidelines.
