Major Corporations and Tech Giants Donate to Trump’s Inauguration Fund, Setting New Records
In a demonstration of corporate support, major companies including Lockheed Martin, Google, Microsoft, Boeing, and Apple have each pledged $1 million to Donald Trump’s inaugural fund, contributing to a staggering total that has surpassed $200 million since Election Day. Trump’s inaugural committee has already raised a record $170 million, making this one of the costliest inaugurations in U.S. history. This influx of donations reflects a notable trend where corporate America appears to be increasingly cozying up to Trump compared to previous years, with tech giants like Google and Microsoft joining the list of significant donors. Apple CEO Tim Cook has also made headlines with his $1 million donation, marking a shift in dynamics as corporate leaders engage with Trump’s administration.
