Yesterday, the White House released the list of corporations and individuals who have contributed to the narcissistic Malignant Fascist's monstrous, vulgar ballroom that is replacing the destroyed East Wing of the White House. From CNN:
"As demolition crews this week bulldozed the White House’s East Wing to replace it with a massive ballroom, President Donald Trump has emphasized that the dramatic changes will come at “zero cost to the American Taxpayer.”
Instead, the donors picking up the tab include some of the country’s biggest corporations, including many who have business before the federal government, along with many longtime supporters of the president, according to a CNN review of a donor list released by the Trump administration.
Trump has been recruiting donors for the construction project for months, showing off renderings and scale models to Oval Office visitors. Now estimated to cost $300 million, the work is being funded by private, tax-deductible donations routed through the nonprofit Trust for the National Mall.
The president has said he will personally pay for some of the project, but the White House hasn’t specified how much. At least one donation of $22 million from Google was made on 'behalf' of Trump as part of a legal settlement over the president being banned from YouTube in 2021, court documents show.
The ballroom donors were feted at a White House dinner last week. Now that the demolition has begun, here’s who’s paying for the overhaul of the country’s most famous residence." (our emphasis)
The list that follows has a capsule description of each donor. It's a who's who of corporations and individuals that have curried favor with the MF in the past, like Amazon, Meta, Apple, Palantir, and lots of cryptocurrency moguls. It's simple bribery couched as civic philanthropy. Also, if anyone thinks that the Malignant Fascist, who is barred from operating a charity in New York due to previous fraud, will donate his money, they should have their head examined.
As several commentators have suggested, any Dem running for President, or Federal office for that matter, should make it clear to these corrupt donors that the MF's monument to his sick ego will be coming down and the East Wing restored when they return to office, using their bribe money if there's any left.
BONUS: Not surprisingly, the autocrat's demolition isn't going over well --
Only 24% approve, and less than half of Republicans, of demolition at White House

ReplyDeleteSeafurty -- exactly. It's a huge tell.
