Amazon is planning to donate $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, a person familiar with the matter told CNN.

Another low life? Gone rogue? Still power hungry? How will this dude be remembered when he is dead and gone? Rumor has it that he is planning to live forever!
If you voted against Trump please consider not buying a Tesla, deleting your ex-Twitter/Facebook accounts and canceling your Amazon Prime subscription. It's the only way we have to send them a message they'll actually understand.
The thing's that even funnier than his being that f_cking dumb....is he makes about a million dollars every 1.3 hours. cheapASS
$1 million is loose change to him
Why not? Zuckerberg already gave a million. I'm sure Bezos made each Amazon employee donate. He's Time Person of the Year and our new Emperor. The Emperor wants a bigly parade past every McDonald's in DC. McD's will be the next to donate.
I am amazed that these multi billionaires, who can not only buy the presidency of the USA but also buy and sell trump 10 times a day, are so willing to give the money to trump, rather then improve conditions for their own workforce.
Abe Lincoln, “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.” Donald Trump, “You can fool all of the people all of the time”
Oligarchy - a small group of people having control of a country. Government for the few by the few.
Plutocracy or Kleptocracy seem good descriptions
Maybe it is time for American Revolution 2 - “This time we mean it”
No surprise they are all kissing the ring of this psychopath,sell outs!
It's your typical protection money shakedown.
Barf
Why ?! As a payoff?!🖕🏻💩😈🤡
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
Donations = Profit
Is this the entry fee? Membership fee? Insurance fee?
because nothing matters anymore
Another added to the list kissing 💋 the Trump ring #cowerds.
Like I.G. Farben and Krupp supported Hitler
Will be getting rid of Amazon prime, I've had enough of this dick.
Bezos = collaborator
Boycott the inauguration
Eat the rich.
The country is for sale
😯
I'm not really enjoying this final season of USA.
🤦♂️
Boo!! 😤
Sick!!
Any guesses on how much is being deposited into secret bank overseas accounts so Trump will not sick the DOJ / FBI on him?
Kiss the ring
Shame on you…You could be doing something positive with your great wealth and brilliance…something to save your country’s Democracy…something to help humanity…What is wrong with you?
Billionaires buying their way into Trumps favor. Trump OPENLY said he can be bought.
Ugh. Feeling more guilty for Xmas shopping on Amazon. Must stop.
So we see the real reason behind on forcefully blocking Kamala endorsements in Washington Post was to endorse the President Elect amd there is no actual neutrality there just some silly dances via playing with some words twisted! He seems like having 'no' difference from Elon!
God they make you sick. Not a shred of integrity in any of them.
ahh that’s partially where the major increase in seller fees are going 🤬
You scared Bezos ? You act scared.
Is it an inauguration or a coronation? 🧐🤨
I think it’s time a competitor make its way to the stage to face Amazon.
Money buying a seat at the table. The US has been played like a fine instrument!! Money will rule this Government.
Will Patrick Soon-Shiong be joining spritely?
The sooner you tax billionaires out of existence, the better your democracy.
Why does anyone donste to inaugurations? Isnt it in the budget ? Im so confused. Also this is profoundly immoral for amazon to do.
Obeying in advance. Eff the tech bros. He will turn on all of them. It will be awesome.
Tax write off
Fuck these duplicitous oligarchs.
I will not be watching the inauguration. I hope there are many more that won’t watch it either. Like 48% of the country, possibly? 🤞
That sucks. I liked Amazon, but I guess I have got to find another way to buy stuff online.
Grifting has to keep on going.
Hey America! They’re literally telling you to go fuck yourselves.
Amazon joins Tesla and McDonalds as someone who won't appear on my bank statements again
Amazon the storefront isn't even that large a portion of their profits. It's AWS
Good thing i am a knowledgesharing software specialist, and can recommend customers that they should use other products then!
The American Oligarchy.
So. A rounding error to piss the rest of us off with huh?
and just like CNN, they will lose customers and business
Oligarchs stick together.
Pay to ________ ?
govel much? embarrassing
Since when do people donate to inaugurations? These are govt events. This is money laundering.
they don’t care
Dear Amazon, my family is deep into you, and we'll all leave if you give money to turnip head. He says he's a great businessman. Let him pay for it himself (I know, he's too cheap and would stiff the workers)
Of course they are. Sigh. The boys club needs to stick together.
One more reason why I no longer shop at Amazon…
And what’s the donation for ?
Look, are we 100% sure Jeff Bezos isn’t like a Pinocchio but instead of a wooden boy, he was a buttplug?
Bye bye Amazon
This is basically a bribe. How can it not be?
Because the Supreme Court decided that this and payments like it are a feature and not a bug in the Constitution. They carved this out as being totally a-ok when defining corruption
Look up the Citizens United case. Back in 2010 the Supreme Court basically legalized bribery.
America, sold to the billionaire bidders! 🤔 The average American has no idea how much they are about to loose. Job, home, car, life, liberty etc.
Cuban communist party supported by Putin
I'd rather he give that money to someone who needs it.
With his Dr. Xavier looking ahhh
They expect nothing in return of course.🙄
Yet another good reason to hate Bezos.
👊👊👊👊
I’ve been searching for products on Amazon and then googling the company and ordering direct from them. Most times the shipping is free if you buy enough.
great tip!
So many disabled & homebound people depend on Amazon. Now, they are funding their own demise. I am so angry!
They can use eBay or literally any other massive company that isn’t donating
Ugh. It's going to be a hideous spectacle🙈🙉🤦🏼♀️
Pricks and dicks and cunts and bollocks.
Disgusting
Amazon or Bezos?
Prime Membership cancellation time of the year 🥂🍾
Welcome to our American oligarchy
A blackmailed coward
Amazon will recoup its donation by raising prices for its products and services.
They get this is going to wipe them out right?
Is there a Bluesky alternative to Amazon?
Local small businesses
Agree. I do for small local stores and websites.
Why???
Disgusting
and your point is?
So why not donate that to teachers to buy school supplies??
These billionaires could’ve just ended homelessness in America. But instead. Ugh.
They all bend the knee. Disgraceful
I don’t blame any rich person for giving money for Trump. He’s made it obvious by now that he is wide open to bribes. A million bucks makes a lot of problems go away, so why not play the game?
So did your CEO. And to the Trump campaign, So Maybe Go fuck yourself.
I’d we don’t start actively finding alternatives to spending money with the us oligarchs, we are funding our own funerals.
Idk why they’re doing this bullshit donation to his “inaugural” fund when #SCOTUS legalized bribery and made #POTUS immune. I’d feel better if he just did the shit out in the open and not treat us like morons even though this country is full of morons that voted for him.
I already cancelled Prime.
just cancelled
Flatter and pay the would be King. Expecting a televised King’s court where Trump accepts gifts for his excellence - my best goat for your highness 👑 That swamp seems to be getting deeper and deeper. Imagine that
Oh fuck off I don't want to boycott Amazon but what wankers
If you end up going to your deathbed with your final act a tabulation of dollars you've accumulated, you may have missed the point of life. Companies lining up kowtowing for their turn at a boot kiss is just pathetic.
They STILL havent found out what happened to all the money that was donated to Trump's inaugeration in 2017. Melania got 2 million and her hairdresser got a million...beyond that???
Who’s “they”? Is it the same “they” that are trying to figure out where $1.5 billion in campaign donations went for the Harris campaign?
The sad natural law is that humans will throw away their morality in return for wealth and power. That's all we're witnessing here.
Extortion by Don president
They're all pissing all over themselves to stay on his good side. Much like @cnn.com and MSNBC while us average Americans are being fucked over by all of you gaslighting cowards...
i dumped amazon this seals it
A pre-paid million for an i vitation? And the hopes the orange menace will leave him alone? 🤬🤬🤬 I hope he STILL isn’t invited 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh really ?
Amazon, don't make me hate you...
All these CEOs interview like they are all tough hombres. But look at how quickly the put on the kneepads
I guess it is time to cancel prime. Plenty of other ways to shop online these days. Drop X. Never buy a TESLA. Cancel Prime. Keep adding to the list.
Been off Prime for a while now and it’s surprising how much you won’t miss it.
Don't subscribe to Time & buy nothing that advertises on Fox. Also, place every block you can around the state run media lord donnie is setting up. A media company set up by the federal government is very dangerous. Empowering CNN might not be what we want but its between that and state run media.
Stay away from my business money, samething for Zuckerberg. Musk, well it's pretty obvious.
Yet another reason never to shop amazon
Ridiculous sell out
Seems to me it's time to stop using Amazon and Facebook. I already don't miss x.
The only thing I use Amazon for is free Kindle books.
Can someone come up with a serious rival to Amazon? I’m guilty of using it, but if I can find what I need elsewhere, I do but it’s not always easy so please, someone step up. Maybe if we all pool our money we can do it
In bed with strange bedfellows. Trump was never a good businessman nor president. So, what gives, Jeff?
Lefty's are literally melting down here 😭🤣
Might explain why the Washington Post suddenly wanted to break with tradition about endorsements…
How much goes in Trump’s crypto account?
According to #Google search, "As of 2024, there are 835 billionaires in the United States, which is an 11.2% increase from the previous year. The combined wealth of these billionaires is $5.8 trillion, which is more than 40% of the world's billionaire wealth."
Not surprised Trump is an easy purchase
The bootlicking will never end.
Did they donate to Biden’s? I don’t know the answer but it seems like it would be useful context.
Like many other before him that have defied the 'Almighty' Trump, he quickly falls in line and kisses his ring.
I remember when all these guys hated each other, funny how money fixes all that
I haven't bought anything from Amazon in years bc of their political support for Trump. More people need to boycott these assholes.
Disappointed
Another wealthy ring kisser 😡
Jeff. You really make me sick.
It only gets worse and worse.
Bow down and kiss the ring.
Another CEO!
Boycott Amazon !
Bazo learned not a damn thing from the Trump/Giuliani relationship...he used Rudy like a Condom...then rolled him off and threw him in the toilet.
Wut? Isn't the inauguration just something that the government pays for? I guess in the end everything in America is for sale, even the government. I'm excited to see the corporate billboards surrounding the event. Maybe Trump can cover his suit in logos like a NASCAR driver?
Looks like it’s time to stop shopping with Amazon
Can you guys cover this story?? Why aren’t democrat organizations counteracting this?? “Heritage Action For America, a conservative grassroots organization with ties nationwide, is launching a new campaign in nine Republican states to confirm President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet appointees.”
I don’t understand why people are so butt hurt by the donation. It’s not like there isn’t going to be an Inauguration if he didn’t donate $1 million.
If you don’t pay the protection money your corporation gets targeted, pretty standard mob tactics
Won't be shopping Amazon!
He owns less than 10% of the company now
Already unsubscribed from Amazon. Hit him where it hurts the most.
At this point, babe 🌈, he doesn’t care if one person walks out. Honestly, good for you for leaving! Meanwhile, he’s out here raking in 10K a second, exploiting everyone else.
Yeah but if hundreds of thousands do, then it would matter.
How many people can they bus in to make him look popular between this and Zuckerberg's donation?
He knows damn well that works out to $10 for the inauguration and the rest to Donald’s ketchup fund.
Will it help him fill seats
Capitalism and fascism go together well.
Just another big🐱.
I think we should all boycott Amazon we should get rid of Google make Google go broke and get rid of Facebook and Instagram
It’s time to break free from PRIME!
Does boycott Amazon come to mind? 🙄
Just canceled an Amazon order.
Doesn't he has better use for his money?
Between the boycotting the Waltons and now Amazon - last minute Christmas shopping is going to be a bitch.
We the people need to try and scale back the money we give these big companies. Scale back the gift giving and what we do buy should be local. Moving forward Christmas gifts are only going to be for the kids and for the adults do white elephant gift exchange.
Target....
Don't buy from Amazon. And thank you for supporting trashident Trump during the debate, CNN. I deleted your network from my TV.
Kojak can’t polish knob fast enough can he? Who loves ya baby! (smh)
That’s coronation, not inauguration.
Look at Trump consolidating power in politics, finance, and religion all at once. Vladimir must be so proud. Let’s see how smart Jeff feels a few years from now when he’s pissed off Trump for some slight and finds himself involuntarily falling out of a window somewhere.
Billionaires seem to not have gotten the message after this week.
But Bezos already did so much for trumps election.
I avoid Amazon anyway. The billionaires club doesn’t need my support. Local businesses do.
Form an orderly queue lads.
At a certain point all these rich people and media types sucking up to a convicted felon and rapist has to be embarrassing. Doesn't it?
Hell, now that bribery is legal, who needs a quid pro quo?
Help @infinitescream.bsky.social
AHHHH
Thing about Boomers is that they have a profound ignorance to history and an overconfidence in the American system being immune to fascism. The latter comes from being a generation that never lived the horrors of the World Wars and was born into a relative global privilege they did not earn.
and I'm not shopping on Amazon anymore...
Disgusting
