If there's one thing we can't disagree with: Donald Trump a guy beyond polemic. For many, the criticism goes beyond that. the case of Axl Rose, lead singer of the band Guns N ’Roses.
He has already criticized Trump a few times ironically, using the same tool that the President of the United States so adores, Twitter. Want examples?
The WH is the current US gold standard of what can be considered disgraceful.

The CB (White House) the American gold model that can be considered shameful.
On another occasion, the singer publicly disagreed when Trump appointed former Alabama senator Jeff Sessions as his attorney general.
Good people don't listen to, acknowledge, nominate or elect people like Senator Jeff Sessions.

Good people don't listen, chancell, nominate or elect people like Senator Jeff Sessions.
Rose also criticized him for complaining about things instead of rolling up his sleeves and doing the work that needs to be done.
"Hamilton Cast harassed Pence." Do u ever stop whining? An apology? Seriously?! U won, this is the job, get on with it or get out of the kitchen.
– Axl Rose (@axlrose) November 19, 2016
“The cast of Hamilton chased Pence. ” Have you stopped whining? An apology? Really ?! You were elected, that is the job, go ahead or leave.
The incident in question has to do with Trump's disappointment in seeing that the cast of the play Hamilton, when he saw that Mike Pence (US Vice President) was in the audience, he took the opportunity to ask him to defend American values and work on behalf of everyone.
With these criticisms, you can already see that Rose is not much of a Trump fan, right? Today, on Twitter, the singer tried to put the Apple CEO, Tim Cook, at the same level, as informed by NME:
Tim Cook is the Donald Trump of the music industry.
– Axl Rose (@axlrose) March 8, 2018
Tim Cook is the Donald Trump of the music industry.
Being the leader of one of the most established bands in rock history, Rose obviously has some notion of what goes on behind the scenes in the phonographic market. It remains to be seen whether the disagreement is punctual, the result of a specific problem / negotiation between Apple and Guns N 'Roses, or if by chance other artists share this same opinion.
Neither Cook nor Apple has commented on the matter, obviously.
