After Trump's policies led to two secret police murders of citizens, @tim_cook wants his team to know that he shared “my views” with Trump at a black tie toast to his wife following the latest killing. Cook is pleased to report that Trump indicated he is “open to engaging.” Wow!

Addressing employees was the right move at this point. I am just not sure this says much though other than underlining Cook's belief that having the ability to talk to the president is better than the alternative.
