President Donald Trump allegedly told Republican donors that reports of him accidentally calling Apple CEO Tim Cook by the name 'Tim Apple' during a White House roundtable were 'fake news' - despite the fact that the flub was caught on video.
Donors attending an event at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Friday night reportedly described the president's claim as one of his 'weirdest lies ever', according to Axios writer Johnathan Swan.
Trump insisted that he actually said: 'Tim Cook Apple', and that the 'Cook' part was too soft to hear. He accused the 'fake news' media of spinning the story to make it look like he'd made a silly slip.
