Good to see that Edward Snowden's work is also mentioned in the House of the History of the Federal Republic of Germany.

![[...] For me it began with a phone call from
Tim at the beginning of my First Term. He had a fairly large problem that only |, as President, could
fix. Most people would have paid millions of dollars to a consultant, who | probably would not have
known, but who would say that he knew me well. The fees would be paid but the job would not
have gotten done. When | got the call | said, wow, it's Tim Apple (Cook!) calling, how big is that? |
was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to “kiss my ass.” Anyway, he
explained his problem, a tough one it was, | felt he was right and got it taken care of, quickly and
effectively. That was the beginning of a long and very nice relationship. During my five years as
President, Tim would call me, but never too much, and | would help him where | could. Years latter,
after 3 or 4 BIG HELPS, | started to say to people, anyone who would listen, that this guy is an
amazing manager and leader. He makes these calls to me, | help him out (but not always, because
he will, on occasion, be too aggressive in his ask!), and he gets the job done, QUICKLY, without a
dime being given to those very expensive (millions of dollars!) consultants around town who
sometimes get it done, and sometimes don’t. Anyway, Tim Cook had an AMAZING career, almost
incomparable, and will go on and continue to do great work for Apple, and whatever else he
chooses to work on. Quite simply, Tim Cook is an incredible guy!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qdr6eanrpsbksnb3n37ppxr2/bafkreiddm7qyogy5sarxnsg2w4wrsnughpnprbkeqgtrcjsgxhla6hca64)
