Some of the world’s worst influencers, politicians, and disgraced sportsmen descend on D.C. today to swear allegiance to Trump.
But the real story of his inauguration is the droves of corporations and billionaires hiding behind him, clearly seeing Trump as the best vehicle to further their class interests.
Companies bankrolling Trump’s inauguration:
• Amazon
• Apple
• AT&T
• Bank of America
• Chevron
• Citigroup
• Coinbase
• Ford
• General Motors
• Goldman Sachs
• Google
• Intuit
• Meta
• Microsoft
• OpenAI
• Pfizer
And many, many more.
Beyond those funding the ceremony, we have attendees ranging from Conor McGregor and Nigel Farage to Ian Paisley Jr.—some of Trump’s loudest cheerleaders. Whether it’s their shared vision of the rich getting richer or just your usual right wing pivot after being accused or convicted, they join the hundreds of influencers who will work toward normalising trumps politics over the next number of years.
What’s happening in Washington today is the consolidation of a class that will spend the next five years pushing divisive culture wars while discreetly transferring the wealth of ordinary working people upward.
Billionaires across the world are getting more organized. Now, more than ever, ordinary working people must be ready to fight back and build their own power—rooted in our communities, our workplaces, and on our streets.
