The tech giant Apple will withhold its support from the Republican National Convention in July because of its discomfort with comments by Donald J. Trump, two people briefed on the companys decision said on Saturday.
Apple is the latest in a string of companies dropping out as sponsors of the Republican convention. Few have attributed their decisions directly to Mr. Trump, the partys presumptive presidential nominee, but some have privately expressed worries about having their products associated with the candidate and his ideas.

Someone(s) decided that he needed just a tad more gravitas, so this was the least they could do to help him out.
MSM on the job, as ever.
