Branding goals? Donald Trump just called Apple chief Tim Cook as Tim Apple

US President Donald Trump, to put it mildly, is not exactly Presidential. Even in his best moods, he has a rather irreverent way of dealing with people, even important ones. Also he is reportedly very bad with names and facts and hence all his briefings have to come in pointers. According to reports, Trump during one of the meetings called Nepal as 'nipple'. But that was behind the four walls. On Wednesday, Trump in front of the national media called Apple CEO Tim Cook as Tim Apple. This soon started trending on Twitter with people wandering how a grown up man, that too the President of USA can get such elementary things wrong. 

Trump was attending a meeting of the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board. There he said," We’re going to be opening up the labor forces because we have to. We have so many companies coming in,” Trump says. “People like Tim — you’re expanding all over and doing things that I really wanted you to do right from the beginning. I used to say, ‘Tim, you gotta start doing it here,’ and you really have you’ve really put a big investment in our country. We really appreciate it very much, Tim Apple"
