On March 8, the President of the United States, Donald Trump was in a public meeting with executives from different industries, including was the head of Apple, Tim Cook. At one point in the meeting, Donald Trump referred to the chief executive officer to Tim Cook as Tim Apple.
Quickly social networks echoed the new name of Tim Cookaccording to Donald Trump. In fact, even Tim Cook himself changed his name on Twitter to Tim . To this day, when almost a week has passed since the event, Tim Cook's account still shows the name. Tim .
At a recent round table meeting of business executives, & long after formally introducing Tim Cook of Apple, I quickly referred to Tim + Apple as Tim / Apple as an easy way to save time & words. The Fake News was disparagingly all over this, & it became yet another bad Trump story!

Donald Trump has tried to justify that I do not change the name of Tim Cook to Tim AppleInstead, he mentioned Apple after Tim, to mean that he was talking about Apple.
We do not know if any other executive was present at the same meeting his name is also tim, but I fully understand that it is a way of speaking to say a lot of information in a few words.

Sometimes level haterism towards Donald Trump, turns any insignificant detail like this into completely absurd news, at least that's how I personally see it.
In theory, according to Twitter, when an account is verified, as is the case with Tim Cook, this you cannot change the name if you do not want to lose the certification, at least it is what can happen to the rest of the mortals, because logically from Twitter they will not bother to take it off.
