President Donald Trump was not amused with the jokes about his slip-up when he called Apple's CEO Tim Cook "Tim Apple."

"I quickly referred to Tim + Apple as Tim/Apple as an easy way to save time & words," Trump wrote in a tweet Monday defending the phrase. "The Fake News was disparagingly all over this, & it became yet another bad Trump story!"

Trump has a little bit of a history for giving people nicknames. But I guess the media has decided its an impeachable offense.

>>Trump has a little bit of a history for giving people nicknames.

And Tim Cook should be honored it was something so benign. Heck, he even adopted it as his Twitter handle.

Click the link. That square that shows up in his name on a Windows machine shows up as an Apple on Apple devices. So he’s Tim [Apple symbol] now on Twitter.

At least Tim Cook can take a joke, even if the Partisan Media Shills can't.

Regarding PDJT’s “Tim Apple,” please consider the following.

Sean Hannity is infamous for interrupting guests to answer his questions to them for them. After all, he pretty well knows how his guest are going to reply to his questions.

Consider that he answers his questions to guests faster than the guest can say the words, probably so that he can cover as much material as he can before his next hard commercial break.

That being noted, consider that PDJT and Hannity are both New Yorkers, both very well aware of the “New York minute,” employing their own approaches to discussion “shorthand” to save time, “Tim Apple” an example of PDJT’s style.

Hannity, like many other talking heads, is a conductor of infomercials where the 'guests' are his props.
