Two of the most popular automakers in the country and probably the world, Ford and General Motors, are breaking with the wokeness that has infected the vast majority of both the business world and popular culture by going full MAGA. Each company is set to donate a million dollars and a fleet of vehicles to to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration scheduled for Jan. 20, 2025. The winning continues, ladies and gentlemen. Are you sick of it yet?
I hope not, because Trump and his people haven’t even gotten started yet.
And the great news is Ford and General Motors are joining an ever growing list of corporations who have decided that it’s now safe to back the new administration. Other donors for the inauguration include Amazon, Meta, Goldman Sachs, OpenAI, Robinhood, Uber, and Bank of America.
Our nation is making the greatest comeback of all time and we all have a front row seat for the awakening. It’s amazing and borderline miraculous. You can’t look at how bad things have gotten over the last four years and then look at what’s happened in the second half of 2024 and say, with a straight face, there’s no God. He’s real. He’s alive. And He’s graciously given us a chance to fix our course.
Check out The Western Journal:
In 2017, Ford donated $250,000 to Trump’s first inauguration, while General Motors contributed $500,000, according to OpenSecrets. Both automakers donated the same amounts to President Joe Biden‘s 2021 inauguration. The top overall donor for Trump’s 2017 inauguration was billionaire businessman Sheldon Adelson, who gave $5 million, according to OpenSecrets. Adelson was the late CEO of Las Vegas Sands Corp.
This election cycle, his widow, Miriam Adelson, donated a staggering $100 million to Trump’s re-election campaign.
Trump to Israeli American Council:
“Miriam and Sheldon Adelson came to the White House just about more than anybody…” referring to $100m x 2 donor Miriam and her late husband, founder of Los Vegas Sands casinos.

In politics — as in other aspects of life — hefty financial contributions usually come with strings and expectations of quid pro quos. “While inaugural donations from companies are not new, the flood of cash — coupled with meetings with Trump at his Florida residence — signal a shift among companies looking to curry favor with the president as he prepares to take office,” Politico reported. “Meta and Amazon each dished out $1 million donations to Trump’s inaugural fund last week, followed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who said he would give the same amount from his personal wealth,” according to Politico. “The move marked a shift for Altman, who has repeatedly donated to Democratic candidates since 2013.”
Now, we need to be realistic here. These corporations aren’t all doing this because they are believers in Trump’s platform for restoring American greatness. In fact, a lot of them are expecting the president-elect to do them a favor. Always expect their to be strings attached when someone is passing along a fat check. Politics is a dirty business. The real question is whether or not Trump will actually fulfill the expectations of these companies. My guess is, if what they desire is already in line with his agenda, he’ll probably work toward helping these corporations get what they want.
And that means whatever they want would ultimately be good for the rest of the nation too. Let’s hope that’s the case anyway.
Anyway, as you would expect, liberals flipped their lids over the donation by Ford.
Now is the time to boycott Ford.

@Ford bowing and scraping. How about donating that money to a worthy cause such as victims of abuse? Cancer research? So many to choose from but Ford would rather suck up to trump for tax cuts. Thank god I don’t buy Ford cars and never will.
