Tim Cook attended American Enterprise Institute's annual World Forum this past weekend in Georgia alongside Google CEO Larry Page, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and other tech leaders, according to a new report (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/aei-world-forum-donald-trump_us_56ddbd38e4b0ffe6f8ea125d?tn50o1or) from The Huffington Post. Top Republican officials, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConell, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton also attended, with the main topic of conversation revolving around Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump.

Bill Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard and political commentator, wrote in an emailed report that much of the conference was haunted by "the specter of Donald Trump," with many attendees unhappy about his emergence and discussing how he gained his support.
"The key task **w, to once again paraphrase Karl Marx, is less to understand Trump than to stop him," Kristol wrote. "In general, there's a little too much hand-wringing, brow-furrowing, and fatalism out there and **t quite e**ugh resolving to save the party from **minating or the country electing someone who simply shouldn't be president."Some sources familiar with the meetings told The Huffington Post that the meeting centered more around how and why Trump has attracted support rather than how to stop him. The meeting included a presentation by Republican political consultant Karl Rove about focus group findings on Trump.

While Trump took up much of the conversation, the discussion eventually turned to encryption. Cook and Cotton "fiercely debated" cell phone encryption, and one source tells The Huffington Post that "Cotton was pretty harsh on Cook." Cotton's aggressiveness was reportedly hostile e**ugh to make other attendees uncomfortable.

Since Apple and the FBI began their duel over encryption, Trump has criticized (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/02/17/donald-trump-on-apple-backdoor-refusal/) the company for its decision to oppose a court order to unlock the San Bernardi** shooter's iPhone.*The Presidential candidate has said that Apple should unlock the phone and called for a boycott (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/02/19/trump-apple-boycott-while-tweeting-on-iphone/) on Apple products until the company complies, despite using an iPhone to tweet.
