   As sad as the entirety of Tim Cook’s presentation of Trump’s “participation”award was, for me, his upsell of this simple piece of glass was peak cringe. Designed by a marine corporal? It’s the Apple logo cut into round glass, plain text, and gold base as a separate piece. No gold trim and highlights on the glass. No grandiose message. And it bears Cook’s signature not Trump’s? Read the room, Cook.
