Even though Apple has pulled out of the Republican convention, the company wants to be on good terms with Paul Ryan.

Cook will help generate cash for Ryan at a private breakfast on June 28 in Menlo Park, Calif., along with Gary Wipfler, the company’s treasurer, according to an invite obtained by POLITICO on Monday. The money benefits not only the speaker but a joint fundraising committee aimed at helping to elect other House Republicans.

Cook is hosting the fundraiser on his own accord, as Apple does not have a corporate political action committee like Facebook, Google and other tech giants in Silicon Valley. Still, the move reflects Apple’s desire to court Republican and Democratic officeholders alike, even at a time when it has serious reservations about Trump, the GOP’s presumptive presidential nominee.

    Obviously Cook wants to keep on good terms with the business loving, consumer hating Republicans who will support corporate tax cuts, subsidies and reduction of those troublesome, and profit reducing, regulations.

    I really didn’t need another reason to dislike Apple, but Cook disagreed.
