The Ford Motor Company is donating $1 million and a fleet of vehicles to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, as the company tries to lobby for relief from his proposed tariffs, Reuters reported Monday.

      Well, based on your link the $1M is a special tier, with telecom and healthcare being half of the list. Ford and GM were in the at least 100-200k range, a lot, but not a million. Had no idea Biden had gotten that much though, thank you for the link!

        It was actually $250k from Ford for the Biden inauguration, at least according to this reporting.

        It is absolutely an outrage and I fully support bringing attention to how flagrant the corruption is but, sadly, it’s not a one party problem.

        Campaign donations to biden and cash and car donations to Trump are another example of both these people being in completely different universes when it comes to corruption.
