- not_your_vase 2y agoI don't really understand this. Not saying $1M is nothing, but it does sound like it, even when it comes to Trump, who is so poor that he would be kicked out of the country club, if he didn't own his own one. Not even mentioning the mega-billionaires who are "donating". Drop in the ocean - on both the receiver's and sender's end. Is it something symbolic, like "paying respects to the Don"?
- JohnFen 2y ago> Is it something symbolic, like "paying respects to the Don"? Yes, my most charitable interpretation is that they're kissing the ring because they know that if they flatter Trump enough, they can get him to push for concessions that will be of great financial benefit to them.
- archagon 2y agoIs there even a single democracy-minded CEO of a major tech company? What a deplorable cesspit of an industry this is.
- nojvek 2y agoHahaha. I feel bad for all the middle class people who think Trump is on their side.
