Amazon Set To Give $1 Million To Trump Inaugural Fund

Amazon is set to donate $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural fund, matching a similar donation announced by Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta this week.

The Wall Street Journal first reported the tech giant is the latest to woo the incoming Trump administration after a particularly fractious period with Silicon Valley. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is also set to meet with the president-elect in Florida sometime next week.

Mark Zuckerberg’s been over to see me. I can tell you Elon [Musk] is another, and Jeff Bezos is coming up next week,” Trump told CNBC on Thursday. “I want to get ideas from them. … Look, we want them to do well, we want everybody, and we want great jobs, fantastic salaries.”

Amazon will also match the money with an in-kind donation valued at $1 million by streaming the inauguration on its Prime Video service, the Journal reported.

All these billionaires forking over cash for his pocket, (not another star studded party like 2026) instead just make these all TIPs. That way according to the Supremacy Court, Trump will not pay taxes on those cash gifts. Tips!!!
I am old enough to remember all the lost or missing millions for that 2016 party. It did not all go to Kid Rick and Lee Greenwood. I assume.
