Making Money Talk


Uber and its CEO are just the latest who have donated $1MM or more to President-Elect Donald Trump's Inauguration fund. It seems Big Tech is trying to curry favor with him this time around.
 
Others who have donated to the Inaugural Committee include Tim Cook and Apple, Jeff Bezos and Amazon, Mark Zuckerberg and Meta, Google, Target and Walmart.

It is expected that the fund will top $150MM or more by January 20. It seems the goal is to have face time and with the the Donald, in Mar-a-Lago, and meet incoming officials in the Trump 2.0 Cabinet.

It seems that these companies will expect that the Administration will not be too overbearing, in light of how critical they all were in the first Administration of him and his policies. 

It is the power of the Almighty Dollar which they all hope will make him more forgiving.

But it remains to be seen if this ploy will work. And since the Inaugural Fund is a 501-c charity, if nothing else, tax credits will be taken by any and all who donate.

Not a bad end results for anyone, don’t you think?

After all, as the saying goes, money talks and BS walks.
