This pay-to-play grift will not come as a surprise to Dems, but visiting MAGA may want to read about it since they probably won't see it in their news bubble.
Some of the biggest donors to Trump’s inauguration benefited from early government actions in their favor. *One example is the biggest contributor, chicken processor Pilgrim's Pride, which gave $5 million and saw its Brazilian parent company, JBS, in April receive government approval for a U.S. stock listing it had long sought. *The second largest donor was the cryptocurrency company Ripple, which gave about $4.9 million. In May it reached a settlement with the SEC to resolve a long-running lawsuit, sending its coat soaring. *Four of the top 10 donors to the fund, all of whom gave north of $1 million, were nominated to prominent posts in the administration. https://www.wsj.com/politics/policy/trump-inauguration-donors-benefit-2ff3121f?mod=djemCapitalJournalDaybreak |
