- Donald Trump
Donald Trump needs no introduction—unless you live under a rock. The business mogul-turned-reality star wrote the New York Times best-selling book, “The Art of The Deal”, and is running for our nation’s presidency as a Republican candidate. A polarizing figure, Trump is known for his vicious remarks and tactful insults, but his most popular tweet shows the notorious figure on the defensive side of this situation. Against a supposed “right-wing news source” no less…
.@FoxNews is so biased it is disgusting. They do not want Trump to win. All negative!

Taking over as CEO for one of the most revered minds in recent memory, Apple’s Tim Cook has had big shoes to fill since the passing of Steve Jobs. As a member of the board of directors for both Nike, Inc. and the National Football League, Cook’s announcement about his sexual orientation in 2014 opened up new avenues for members of the LGBT community. He continues to make that impact with emphatic tweets like this.
