A new report from Rolling Stone claims that President-elect Donald Trump is “keeping tabs” on major corporations that have not yet forked out big bucks for his inauguration fund.
So it’s a protection racket.
It’s all he’s ever known.
I have never heard of a president’s inaugural team being funded by corporations and bribes but this year they are making out like it’s the most normal thing. Was this always happening and I just missed it or are we normalizing bribery now like it’s no big deal?
Americans explicitly voted for corruption. There was no confusion on the matter. He has a rap sheet that spans an entire lifetime proving he’s corrupt. And the majority of voting Americans chose him anyway.
There should be no shock factor here. America wanted this. Americans are stupid.
The majority of votes were for not Trump.
More people of voting age didn’t vote at all than voted for any one candidate.
The system is broken but nobody wants to fix it
My take is anyone who can vote but doesn’t is implicitly throwing their support behind whoever eventually wins. On 2024-11-05, the majority of Americans chose to not be taken seriously by the rest of the world.
I’m not an American.
As an American, non-voters can suck a butt. They’re effectively giving their proxy vote to everyone else, so they have no right to complain or engage in discussion.
I’m sorry for you other Earthicans who have to share the ball with my country. We’re stupid because we let ourselves be deregulated, gerrymandered, propagandized, and lied to, and can’t collectively ask for it to stop.
As a non American, anyone who willingly votes for genocide is a Fascist.
The majority of votes were for not Trump.
The majority of votes for a candidate that could actually win were for Donald Trump.
More people of voting age didn’t vote at all than voted for any one candidate.
I specifically said the majority of VOTING Americans voted for Trump. Which is true, if you’re taking into account the only two candidates that mattered.
If you were of voting age and you didn’t vote, you don’t matter. If you were of voting age and voted 3rd party…well, I have an opinion of you that I won’t share here. But suffice to say, if you voted 3rd party, you may not have technically voted for Trump, but you still made his presidency happen.
But have you considered both sides bad? My political sensibilities are far more finely tuned than yours, which allows me to see that the Democrats are not an alternative to fascism, but are in fact complicit in it. This is everyone’s fault but mine!!!
Genocide apologist
Sorry which one was the no-corruption candidate again?
You’re right, Harris would have done the same thing.
But Americans weren’t voting for the same thing
A nationalized shake-down is somehow being couched as inauguration donations.
Last time he tried to hide it. This time he is being completely open about the fact that he is for sale because he believes that he is untouchable.
He doesn’t have to believe he is untouchable, he’s been proven untouchable over and over again, no matter what he did
Yup. In the quest to not to appear politically biased the DOJ allowed US democracy to slip away.
the wheat to not ajar
that’s some interesting autocorrect fail, I hope!
Ducking autocucumber!
“US Democracy” is bipartisan genocide support. It’s not great loss
This comment works for basically aany Trump headline now.
Apparently!
He’s untouchable because American voters don’t care about any of this.
They will.
I think it’s beyond the point where
-
caring will make a difference
-
voters will realize that 1/3 of them are wrong
But I do hope to be proved wrong on this.

The fact that every single donation is exactly one million dollars says they all received the same message about how much was expected.
WTF is an “inauguration fund” paying for int he first place? He can’t legally run for President again, and if it’s a political fund, he’d have to use it for political purposes or donate it to the party or something. Of course he could donate $30M to the party and they could just buy 3M copies of some book he profits from, you know, how they typically launder campaign funds to themselves…
It’s the same grift he ran last time he won. He literally campaigned for president for another 4 years after winning.
it’s clearly so that he can have the biggest and bestest inauguration party ever. given the record setting attendance his last inauguration got, he’ll probably spare no expense to have a great event with catering and lots of well paid, properly licensed musicians.
Trump isn’t even hiding that America is for sale…
Ok, so, I’m starting to be convinced that Trump does infact know the history of the Nazi rise to power, and instead of saying “maybe we shouldn’t do that” he’s thinking “I can do it better.”
We need to get him significantly more McDonald’s.
The guy who slept with Mein Kampf at the bedside?
infact
It’s okay to leave the space in there when you’re going for English.
No
English isn’t a language it’s a mistake
My autocorrect did it too. These days I’m too lazy to fight it. I figure it knows better than me anyway, only the past 8 generations of my family have been in the country.
Plus I didn’t major it it I did something practical with my life. Fuck the only langage I can speak
Mobsters gonna mobst.
Mobb Deep. Deep State. State loyalty to the Crown.
Crown Royal. Royal flush. Flush shite. Shite word association.
It bothered you to play into it tho.
Racketeering?
Maybe he can get tried in 4 years after our totally legit free and fair elections happen.
I wish you guys good luck.
Me too.
A clever stratagem of President Elon Musk to make use of his trained monkey.
This is unimportant, but wtf is up with his hair? It looks more insane than usual.
What do you think he spends it on
