$200 million raised for trump’s inauguration from corporations, but they still can’t afford to pay living wages to their employees?

Something doesn’t add up here 🧐

You got that right

$60 million disappeared his last election. How much going into his off shore account this time?

edk.bsky.social•47 days ago

That's less than $1 per person in the USA. Obviously the companies will give more over the next 4 years, but these costs aren't significant. More than anything this illustrates how cheap it is to buy politicians -- relative to the potential economic benefits.

Time for massive boycotts

sanleekelly.bsky.social•47 days ago

This a waste of $. Too much pomp & extravaganza & money could be better spent on wages, schools ….

angelica-reed.bsky.social•47 days ago

they only care for themselves...

hikercat.bsky.social•47 days ago

200 million for a 1 day event!

200 million would feed and house 11,000 people for 1 year.

For families struggling, on average, it only takes 1 year of support before they become completely self sufficient again.

Republicans are not the party of the people nor for the people.

irish-pawpaw.bsky.social•47 days ago

Such a terrible economy for them but yet

maryes.bsky.social•47 days ago

Why does he need $200 million for his and Leon’s lousy inauguration???

jonniola.com•47 days ago

From many of the same companies that said they were done after what happened on January 6, 2021.

wildfire393.bsky.social•47 days ago

They only said that bc the coup failed. If he has power they line up to kiss the ring, but without it, why bother?

sheilaharris.bsky.social•47 days ago

I’m truly disgusted.

Incorrect. It adds up perfectly and completely.

Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin, Dr. Antoine Louis and Tobias Schmidt had the right idea on how to deal with these class warrior monsters.

Just don’t buy anything from them. If millions of people did that they would sink.

helmutweigel.bsky.social•47 days ago

These “donors” expect a 3ish percent tax break, which totally adds up.

And as it is customary with mob bosses like Don Con, one is obliged to “wet their beak”.

oxrob.bsky.social•47 days ago

So what are we going to do about it? Well maybe we can unleash the Liberal Money Monster. We got money and companies want it. Instead of calling it a boycott we can found someone new to spend our money on.

tydog33.bsky.social•46 days ago

Funny thing! They might loose fair

xenakes55.bsky.social•47 days ago

Hmmm?

chereese.bsky.social•46 days ago

Sickening.

stewiegriffin52.bsky.social•47 days ago

It's called the real world...good, bad or indifferent, it's still the way it is.

nordurljoscan.bsky.social•44 days ago

🤨

robbjm.bsky.social•47 days ago

You can bet the majority of their employees are very upset.

doc369.bsky.social•47 days ago

Business as usual

imhiding.bsky.social•47 days ago

they probably consider that money “CAPEX” meanwhile salaries are “OPEX”

Gotta keep that OPEX low 🙄

vinman45.bsky.social•46 days ago

Disgraceful!!!

cotol17.bsky.social•47 days ago

It truly doesn't. Nothing regarding this entire process adds up. It's disturbing, alarming, scary, and frustrating.

johnlawrence2.bsky.social•47 days ago

The corporation I worked for paid everyone very well.

cornellmom.bsky.social•47 days ago

ernesttbass.bsky.social•47 days ago

We need to kick them square in the pocketbook.

legallynotpam.bsky.social•47 days ago

Bootlickers and cowards.

marketdf.bsky.social•47 days ago

I'm no one and I know my opinion won't be heard, much less heard by someone with the power to do something about it, but here's a thought anyway...

How about instead of tax breaks for the number of employees, how about tax breaks based on the amount businesses pay in wages under 150k?

lpeterp.bsky.social•47 days ago

And we have no idea where that $200 million in bribes will be going; easy to guess.

samiam82.bsky.social•46 days ago

It's time to stop pretending that corporations will do the right thing on their own or that "the market" dictates what is "fair". It's time for the people to rise up, purge the bourgeoise.

wakandangriot.bsky.social•47 days ago

It’s called capitalism conglomerate math.

realdeal64.bsky.social•47 days ago

Really? You dont understand billionaire greed, billionaires buying politicians for billionaire tax cuts? I do.

1mother.bsky.social•46 days ago

They’re tapeworms syphoning from the bowels of humanity.

oldfolkswhisper.bsky.social•47 days ago

Isn't it funny how they manage to find the money when they want to spend it, but it's nowhere to be found when they should spend it.

cooljenim.bsky.social•47 days ago

They don't give a shit about their indentured servants...

mchlplsn.bsky.social•47 days ago

Are there any transparency requirements around that? I'd love to add those corporations to my BDS list.

dionlisle.bsky.social•47 days ago

The grift is on and in full swing.

The biggest surprise and disappointment is Tim Cook of Apple, in the GOP's fantasy world, he would not be allowed to be alive. They hate gays, yet he capitulated to their grift demand. Disgusting.

debra.bsky.social•41 days ago

So the Republicans will be partying while a large American county burns? How patriotic.

blessyourheart32.bsky.social•46 days ago

The only reason Tim Cook has $$ to give trump is because of all the money he save using sweatshops where people kill themselves because the conditions are so awful.

dustyk504.bsky.social•47 days ago

Where is all the money going? It's not like The Traitor pays his bills.

tansuit.bsky.social•47 days ago

As usual, much of the $$ goes in his pocket. He’s figured out that the presidency can be a money-maker for him. Also loves the 24/7 attention.

lovelygod700.bsky.social•47 days ago

Hmm seriously

fromgulagtogilead.bsky.social•46 days ago

Exactly! Their profits are untouchable, of course. If there’s an extra expense, like funding an inauguration, the solution is always to cut the workforce—not their ability to buy their 100th superyacht or another gold-plated toilet. Priorities, right?

teleportnow.bsky.social•47 days ago

Right! I need a few thousand underpaid H1B workers to maintain profitability. Here’s $250,000,000 to make that happen.

jperez78.bsky.social•47 days ago

Corporations pay us low wages so we have no other choice but to stay in those jobs, threatening us with no health insurance unless we work and labeling us as lazy if we quit! We need to empower labor and increase our wages across all industries!! We can't tolerate that boot on our necks any longer!!

jenkinsbball.bsky.social•47 days ago

They’re all traitors

spartanfan056.bsky.social•47 days ago

Oh it adds up. Right into the pockets of the rich that will make us lick the bottom of their boot.

nancyspantsbelt.bsky.social•47 days ago

Kiss the ring while they tell us to kiss azz.👹👹👹

citizensky1508.bsky.social•47 days ago

Adds up!

King Grifter pockets it all…

The Con Man sells Chinese made bibles, watches, hats, $2 bills, etc…

He takes from corporations and he bilks his cult followers for dog shit 💩 fake products…

seajones120.bsky.social•47 days ago

On top of that, Trump's gonna pocket every penny of that money.

motherearth19309.bsky.social•47 days ago

Like the $100 Mil that's STILL missing from his first inauguration...
