Trump's uncomfortable remarks make the Republican Party lose some of the companies' support
Some large technology companies have regularly participated in political campaigns with financial and material donations of its mark until in 2012 the Democratic Party rejected these collaborations. While Tim Cook has decided, along with other companies like HP, completely withdraw Apple's involvement At the Donald Trump National Convention, Microsoft will withdraw only the financial donation and Google and Facebook will continue to participate without altering the planning.
Trump's stance radically opposes Apple's policy that respects and defines diversity as the fundamental pillar of its work teams and of the integration of all minorities in a plural and non-judgmental society. It is not surprising that Tim Cook has decided to disassociate his company from the attacks and apology of machismo and xenophobia that the Republican candidate displayed during his campaign.
