JAKARTA - The shooting case that occurred at former US president Donald Trump, on Saturday 13 July, shocked the world. In the middle of a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, an armed man opened fire. In a post on social media, Trump said he was "shot with a bullet that penetrated the top of his right ear."

Apple CEO Tim Cook immediately responded to the shooting that took place at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania. "I pray for President Trump's quick recovery. My thoughts are with him, other victims, and Trump's family," Cook wrote in a post on X. "I strongly condemn this violence."

According to several reports, one meeting participant was killed in the shooting, while the other two were in serious condition. The shooter was also reportedly killed. Trump's campaign team stated that Trump was "good."

Cook and Trump have had a number of interactions during the former president's term at the White House. The Apple CEO met several times and received praise from Trump, despite also criticizing his policies and incidents on January 6.

Cook has long expressed his belief that it is better to engage in conversations, especially when they disagree, than to be on the sidelines.
