Fucking coke, it’s the only soda I drink but not only do they support Trump, they dime out their own workers to ICE. So there’s no way in hell I’m going to buy it again. Fuckin wack.
I’m glad Vernor’s is still safe
They just put out an Orange Cream flavor too
It now all makes sense.
Apparently they can take what they dish out
British American Tabacco: $10 million
That explains why they took off the research on the dangers of Tobacco from the gov’s website.

And Altria ($1 million): Marlboro, Virginia Slims etc
Pretty sure Tim Apple of Apple Cook computers donated a cool million to Trumps inauguration as well, which is weird as Trump is trying to destroy gay people and Tim Apple is in fact quite gay.
added to list, although from the article this was a personal donation from Cook himself, Apple itself was not expected to make any donations.
Alphabet/Google also bought a ticket for the inauguration: https://www.cnbc.com/2025/01/09/google-donates-1-million-to-trumps-inauguration-fund.html
So is Peter Thiel but that hasn’t stopped him either
so was Roy Cohn
In the article, it’s explained why Trump did it. When Trump was first elected, he also maintained a cordial relationship with him to secure benefits for Apple. Is this something to praise? Absolutely no! But is it understandable? For me, it is. Tim Cook also made a statement defending Apple’s core values of equanimity and equality, even after Trump halted equality policies in American companies. You should check what Google and Meta said instead.
Your list gives a much clearer picture of the enemy. Thank you!
Private prison companies CoreCivic and GEO Group each donated $500,000, potentially positioning themselves to benefit from Trump’s planned immigration policies. GEO Group’s executive chairman, George Zoley, explicitly acknowledged these benefits, stating: “We believe that the private sector will play a critical role in assisting the government in carrying out its objectives…The GEO Group was built for this unique moment in our country’s history and the opportunities that it will bring.”
Absolutely heinous
Its OK, I just boycott everything. :)
even better… go on a general strike now!.. do the rest of the world a favour and take care of the rabid dog you let out of the cage
I wonder if he keeps whining about the CHIPS act because Intel didn’t pay him his bribe?
That would be CRAZY if some of these people who donated MILLIONS of Dollars to Trump were now in Positions of Government Power! CRAZY!
Biggest corporate donor: Israel through their proxy Adelson Clinic, run by Miriam Adelson
2nd biggest: Aluminum and Steel (which explains the focus on these material in the tariffs) Hendricks
3rd biggest: a 5 years-defunct aerospace company that has a paranormal webinar with their founder advertised on their homepage Bigelow
Hendricks has more money than the rest of Rock County put together, it’s fuckin ridiculous that we let this happen.
well shit… i need abbot glucose sensors 😔😞
You don’t have to be perfect in a boycott. Avoid what you can, not what you can’t.
This is so important! Don’t let it overwhelm you.
Exactly, do not let perfection be the enemy of good enough
thanks for letting me know where my money goes. good information to promote, whether you want to support, not support, or don’t care afterwards. information should be clear
Never heard of Timothy Mellon. Seems like a delightful guy based on a quick internet search…
Ericsson, the most corrupt shit company in Sweden. Yes, Ericsson is Swedish, yet is still in this list.
So is Spotify.
It doesn’t hurt to have an online archive for this page: https://web.archive.org/web/20250309163522/https://www.newsweek.com/american-businesses-supporting-donating-donald-trump-list-2027957
Thanks, as a Canadian it’s appreciated. I’ll print this off after I look for any additions others mention and then post it on my fridge and Joplin.
