“One trillion dollars. That’s it, folks. Apple has officially won capitalism. Wrap it up, it’s over.”

“I’m going to be honest, I don’t even know how they made a trillion dollars. Because I saw this headline on my iPhone, and I was like, ‘That can’t be right,’ so I read the full story on my MacBook, and even when I used Excel on my iPad and I blew it up, it’s still so unlikely that Apple could make so much money! ’Cause I was listening to a Podcast explain it on my second pair of earbuds, and then my Apple Watch told me I had a meeting. So I guess we’ll never know how they made the money.”

“According to The New York Times, President Trump is eager to sit down with special counsel Robert Mueller to clear himself of any wrongdoing. Oh, yes, please do that. That would be like when the cops show up at your party and your drunkest friend says, ‘Oh, I’ll talk to them.’”
