Donald Trump and Tim Cook have been making headlines all day today for a hilarious reason. During a conference at the White House, the US President accidentally referred to Apple's CEO as 'Tim Apple', instead or Mr. Tim Cook.

Goes without saying that it soon became a meme and social media is having a field day joking about it.

Calling Tim Cook Tim Apple to his face is my version of the American dream. I want to look Bill Gates in the eye and call him Jim Microsoft.

Low key, most people actually loved this new name!

Ok but to be honest, #TimApple is probably how I would have saved his name in my phone.

Someone changed Tim Cook's name to “Timothy Donald Apple” and these are the moments in which I love the internet. #TimApple pic.twitter.com/LtEsatpSyg

People were quick to make a full virtual team of all CEO's with their company name as their surname, which is hilarious.
