Read our privacy policy Apple CEO Tim Cook plans to donate $1 million to President-elect Trump’s inaugural committee, according to a report. The Apple CEO’s donation is part of a trend of wealthy business leaders and tech companies contributing to Trump’s second inaugural fund. The inaugural committee is projected to raise more than $150 million, breaking the previous fundraising record of $107 million inauguration, which was set at Trump’s first inauguration in 2017, ABC News reported. The pair have become close in recent months — literally as Trump’s so-called “first buddy” has been staying at a cottage just several hundred feet from the main house of Mar-a-Lago for $2,000 per night.
