Amazon paid $40 million to license a Melania Trump documentary. ABC paid $15 million to settle Trump’s defamation suit. META paid Trump $25 million for suspending his social media accounts. And now Paramount is paying Trump $16 million to settle his ‘60 Minutes’ lawsuit. Truly pathetic.
Bribery out in the open.
If there is any justice in this world, E. Jean Carroll's lawyers will file writs and serve notice to garnish those funds.
So is this money going towards bringing down our debt, or is T personally pocketing it? He’s pocketing everything, right?
ALL BOW. PAY YOUR TRIBUTES OR FACE RETRIBUTION.
These are the fees for the work on the BBB crap 💩😡😡😡😡😡
To which account does all this lute go into??
So many of us warned years ago of how Russia is the template with MAGA. Now we have exactly that where Trump like Putin demands protection money from the oligarchs. Trump is absolutely lining his pockets as he destroys the U.S. under Putin’s direction.
extortion. corruption.
Let’s not forget the admission fee for the inauguration seats. Fact: I for one, personally, will never unsee the weird horny vibes and completely obvious fixation that Zuckerberg had for Mrs. Bezos (btw: congrats you two greed-infused duo of ick)
Absolfuckinlutely
No balls anywhere 🤦🏼♀️
I say break-up with all of those companies.
Disgusting. Just canceled it.
They all have too much money. They are willing to spend incredible amounts to maintain their wealth. Justice, common sense and morality be damned.
Proud to say I don't currently give any of these companies by business.
#Paramount has become subordinate
Just the price of doing business.
Extortion works. What’s pathetic is they think that bought them any security going forward. Thru just proved they’ll pay and prostrate themselves forever. When would they say no to him? Never?
And in his true #Mob-Boss style, he just threatened to somehow have “his“ administration go after Elon if he won’t stop being uppity. What do you think? Was the latest DOJ decision to go after naturalized citizens a threat aimed directly at Elon?
Maybe his new theme song should be “A boy named sue”😂😂😂😂😂
There's no vomit emoji offensive enough for this ironic blackmail from Don Donaldo. A 'library' for a man who can't read. Maybe it will contain VHS copies of his fave Fox[NOT]News shows.
The money these companies have to GIVE AWAY is obscene. How is their employee pay scale and benefits package?
The media complicity in the degradation of America can never be understated.
Guess we shouldn’t have let the same people who bought the federal government in order to degrade America for their own profit own all of the media companies. It’s almost as if the media works for and represents oligarchs and not the people. In hindsight, I guess that was a poor choice.
Certainly appears so. 😂
AMERICA IS DEAD.
They all such and have no principles or spines.
Has any of that family ever done ANYTHING that would deserve even one million dollars in a meritocracy?
POS’s each and every coward.
The grift is mind boggling and Republicans are okay with it. But Hunter’s laptop and board position. The hypocrisy is astounding and deafening.
Corporate-level cowardice.
All these companies got off easier than they would have if the lawsuits were allowed to continue. #FAFO
The "king" must get his feorm.
They all incentivize corruption on a massive scale.
All this and PO1135809 isnt a legitimate candidate for office. The Supreme court is pathetic!
It sure is. I wouldn't pay him a dime.
THUG PRESIDENCY ..96 million dollars in DIRECT PAYMENT TO TRUMP.... tomorrow's text to the Suckers? "The leftist evil Dems have me on the ropes, I need your help! $5 will help the cause ..."
Paramount have made the proviso that none of the $16million goes to Trump or can be used by Trump in any way shape or form, can only be spent on the Trump Presidential Library. That’s a whole lot of money to buy coloring and pre-school toddler books.
At least that settles the question of whether or not to resubscribe to Paramount +, along with Disney +, or whether to get another facebook page, or ever buy from amazon again.
No one will stand up to this orange menace! Isn't the first amendment worth fighting for? The first amendment is the only reason they exist!
No one ever told him “no” as a child.
I'll give you something for quitting singing stay away from me
F MSM. Start with a few truth tellers… Medias Touch Mueller She Wrote - Daily Beans AP Reuters Rolling Stone Mag Teen Vogue
We’ll have to retract all that money once we take back power.
Wow! Almost a 100 mil to pay off a bully to stop attacking you
It’s a bribe. They aren’t getting a bully off their backs they’re selling their integrity to buy a multi-billion dollar merger. Congress and the judiciary have no problem with it because enough of them have been bribed too. The United States is finito. Someone hit the lights on the way out.
Mob tactics.
Absolutely
Ok well,i assume u cancelled your Amazon account,closed your facebook account,cancelled any subscriptions u have with any of these,and are informing others to do the same. If not then its hollow words from you.
These are bribes - where are the Courts?
Fools! This is sickening! Surrender cannot be an option with this lying wanna-be dictator! Shame!
What is the return favor?
He’s basically a gangster running a protection racket out of the White House. Same way he’s shaking down law firm’s & universities. smhid
It’s disgusting
NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL 😱
I've had an interesting idea how to address this but can't seem to get any traction ...
The worst government money can buy.
Wait till the libel suits start. Thomas, for one, is on record for the courts to revisit press protections …
I don't support corporate media..
This goes deeper than just a gangster shake-down. It’s trump’s terribly weak ego holding itself together by using his perceived power to dominate whoever injures it. “Perceived” because it only works if his targets submit. Their lawyers could have exposed him in court. But they chose to submit.
It is simple: just tell him to fuck off.
He’s turned the Presidency into a ‘Protection Racket’ as well his own personal slush fund. But any Corporation that bends the knee should be boycotted…or this will just continue, on & on & on until the US is ‘fully’ just 1 Giant Corporation (which it’s already close to right now).
Paramount = COLLABORATORS! Heil, herr führer tRump the Rapist!
Well he’s finally a millionaire.
The guy has made a billion dollars in 6 months, and that’s just the out in the open stuff and leaving out harder to quantify vehicles of corruption like his shitcoin. This country is cooked. We aren’t coming back from this.
bsky.app/profile/crys... 🌱 Let's include: META/Zuckerberg, Amazon/Bezos, CBS/60Min, ABC in the "If they'd only known what the Trump admin would do if they bent the knee" scenario. 🫤
And the poor get poorer.
Spineless
$100 million from media institutions to buy favor from the White House. . . . It's extortion and it's corrupt. And they know it and are going along with it.
As far as I see from an an outsiders point of view every God dam thing Trump does is pathetic. He truly is a pathetic man. What a hell hole America went into when he was elected. 😰
Corporate media losing dignity once Trump falls in his grave.
Your answer: Boycott Amazon, ABC, META and so on Consumers’power
No, not pathetic, it’s called extortion. Plan, simple and obvious.
And dangerous
Pathetic indeed. Carter's peanut farm put into a blind trust but this asshole just keeps on grifting and somehow its ok? Wake the heck up lethargic masses, every day with this admin makes it harder to overturn. They cheated, he didn't win!
Truly the art of the steal.
$16 million to just hopefully get their merger with Skydance approved by the Trump administration.
Kissing the ass of someone who can damage them. I get it but I have no respect for them. They are actively participating in turning our country fascist.
And so it goes.
Horribly pathetic 😩🤮🤑👎
Trump can just ask for money and people will pay up.
Agree, I am going to boycott. Sad and cowardly. Pathetic. The shills will always French kiss F47'S asshole.
I doubt there's anyone on the face of the earth that wants to watch a Melania Trump documentary. Everything she has ever said in public is a lie. And a boring lie, at that.
Oh, she would have some very interesting stories to tell, but of course she won't.
I think she might’ve been through a lot of interesting things, but I think she’s too stupid to tell an interesting story. There is no such thing as an intelligent woman who would marry Trump. Unless she had a supernaturally strong stomach, and an inability to detect tackiness.
She’s pretty tacky herself
I love it 😂😂😂
I'm sure she knows a lot about his crimes. And the crimes of the people around him. Enough to put them all in jail for life and that is the only story I care about.
As long as Trump keeps paying Melania, she won’t sing. Trump’s first wife, Ivana, wrote a book that described how Trump raped her. When Trump started paying her a sufficient amount of money, she had that part removed from the next printings of the book.
What the hell are people so afraid of? He's just a money hungry old man with a big microphone.
Yet nothing is enough, the man is now selling very expensive colognes
The cologne should be called "Greed"
#godfather
I don’t get it. Why are they settling?
i’ve stopped watching them all
Sicking
Vulgar.
Disgusting.
So much money but no integrity or character, no courage at all.
So many cowards . . .
What are they so afraid of?
We can do without these companies and our democracy would thrive
I’ve quit Amazon and all Meta social networks, I don’t watch abc and will not watch any paramount movies. The same goes for my immediate family.
