Apple CEO Tim Cook made a personal $1 million "donation" to the Trump inauguration in January 2025:

> Cook, a proud Alabama native, believes the inauguration is a great American tradition, and is donating to the inauguration in the spirit of unity, the sources said.

Did Cook, in the spirit of unity, make a similar donation in 2020?

Apple donated $43K in 2021: https://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/forms/C00765040/1513848/f13... I guess the price of a spirit of unity has been undergoing massive inflation.
