Amazon plans to make $1 million donation to Trump inaugural fund; Bezos to visit Mar-a-Lago

BirdinHand said:
You mean like if they invest a billion dollars, they’ll get expedited EPA permits and such?

Like we have already heard Trump brag about?

Is that not a “special favor”?

EVERYONE who invests a billion in the US get those. People who give Trump a million bucks don't get any special favors.

Pretty cool, huh? It's been a rough week for the TDS gang. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Amazon is planning to make a $1 million donation to President-elect Trump's inaugural fund as founder Jeff Bezos and other tech leaders work to smooth ties with the incoming commander-in-chief, the company confirmed to FOX Business.

The donation is being prepared by Bezos ahead of his visit next week to Mar-a-Lago, The Wall Street Journal first reported.

"Bezos is donating through Amazon," a source close to Bezos told the newspaper.

Amazon will also stream the inauguration on Prime Video, the company confirmed, which will amount to an in-kind donation valued at another $1 million, the Journal reported.

Nippon is wanting to invest billions into a US company that will likely idle or completely shutdown at least one mill but up to 3 without it and Trump says he will block the deal.

Not really, no. Remember how Trump was all for banning TikTok until he wasn't? This all came after a meeting with a mega-donor Jeff Yass who happens to have a large stake in ByteDance. Coinkydink?
:)

From that point on he dropped TikTok as being the threat to this country, to Facebook being the new enemy. That's quite the shift in position given the threat was based on questions about data sharing with the Chinese government, which is not an issue with Facebook.

They're buying access, that's what they're doing. And Trump is 100% going to play to that, lots of grifting opportunities.

Yes of course, but with all of the threats to go after enemies, any $$ they send will also "pay" for current or future "trangressions". Remember, he's a mob boss.
 

Amazon plans to make $1 million donation to Trump inaugural fund; Bezos to visit Mar-a-Lago​

Ah, when I was a kid I learned about wise men traveling afar to bring gifts and praise to a vastly different new born king.

Bye Bye America!

lol... yeah, whenever I want to "trigger some", I always amplify the fact that who I support is a joke...

Good job, buddy, you enjoy all that winning now... lol
 
Normally, I'd consider a boycott over this, but Amazon is too ubiquitous to avoid.

Not even sworn in yet and already knee-deep in corruption.
Embrace the Swamp! Recharge the Deep State!

When we don't learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. Does anyone remember the grift of the 2016 Inaugural funds?
"Nine months after the inauguration, President Donald Trump’s 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) has provided no accounting of the amount of surplus funds left over and very little explanation as to how the committee has managed this surplus."
https://www.citizen.org/news/what-happened-to-the-surplus-funds-from-trumps-inauguration/

The grift continues.
