Seem Apple’s CEO Tim Cook isn’t much of a fan of Donald Trump. Neither is Elon Musk or Larry Page. So it only makes sense that they big money players will meet with Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and Ben Sasse attended an ‘anti-Trump’ meeting. Guess who else was there? Non other than Fox News’ own Karl Rove.

The agenda of the meeting, which also had other tech CEOs, billionaires, and top Republicans attending, focused on a plan to stop the political ascension of front-runner Republican presidential aspirant Donald Trump.
Other attendees included Facebook investor and Napster creator Sean Parker, The New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger, billionaire GOP donor Philip Anschutz, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Speaker Paul Ryan, Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Fred Upton, Budget Committee Chairman Tom Price and Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling.
The secret meeting took place in a private island resort off the Georgia coast for the annual World Forum of the American Enterprise Institute.
The Weekly Standard founder and editor Bill Kristol wrote in a report from the conference that there was unhappiness regarding the emergence of Trump as the Republican front runner, with many attendees expressing hope that he would not become the President of the United States.
The report claimed that a highlight of the meeting was a presentation made by political guru Karl Rove. The greatest weakness of Trump, according to focus group findings, was that people had a hard time in envisioning the business mogul as someone that is “presidential.” Trump was also seen as an erratic individual that should not be given the power to call for a nuclear strike.
