Trump’s Military Parade Gives Shoutouts To Corporate Donors: ‘Special Thanks To Our Sponsor – Coinbase’
President Donald Trump's military parade on Saturday featured 22 corporate and foundation sponsors, some of which received shoutouts over the public address system.
That included Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange that donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee in January. The following month, Trump’s Securities and Exchange Commission dismissed a lawsuit against the company.
Trump declared over 600million in income from sponsors and digital currency; he should pay for this military parade out of pocket.
Corporate dictatorship, doing corporate dictatorship things, because it's a corporate dictatorship.

I feel that's indirectly and insult to President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho. He wasn't perfect, but he wanted what was best for his people and he listened to the smartest man in the world when given evidence. Trump can't hold a candle to the man Camacho was.
also agree, a trump equivelant would have executed not sure the second the IQ test came in.
Honestly the most unbelievable part of that movie is, the president seems to be one of the smartest people born in that generation. Yeah he seems dumb by our standards, but you put him next to the lawyers and everyone else in that society... he actually seems pretty brilliant.
Not looking forward to getting a medical checkup, but the future Starbucks sounds fun.
Carl's Jr. Should sponsor this administration and see if they can get anyone to take the same deal. Brought to you by Carl's Jr.

The moment I saw the banners on that stage, I started the process of closing my Coinbase account. Those corrupt fuckers can rot.
At this point Americans can’t really claim to have an independent state. We are a corporate sponsored entity. We are NASCAR if it was a country. Every war we’ve fought since the Civil War has been about money and securing our influence…to make money.
I mean if you make your country all about business, treat it like a business, elect a business person, pander to, etc...
Oh my god, we're all slaves 😬
NASCAR is nice comparison though, driving around in circles, chasing their own tail
Nascar turns left not right
This is NOT Corruption! CORRUPTION is when you Use your DADS last Name to get OVERSEAS JOBS! That's the ONLY Definition of Corruption! NOTHING else is Corruption!
And that only applies if your last name is Biden
Ohh good, I'm safe.
Or Obama
Definitely nothing corrupt about this. Aside from the quid pro quo, that is.
I thought browser back button hijacking was something you weren't allowed to do. Seems like most news corporations that get posted to Lemmy have to take me to ads or more stories instead of letting me go back. I guess on federated stuff you're expected to have a slicker setup than a mostly stock android.
"works for me"TM (but I don't see ads anywhere with uBlock, so maybe that's why)
I just open all links in private window. Keeps the history clean.
chat is this true
The sponsors got increasingly stupider too, it started with arms manufacturers, then moved to Coinbase, then UFC, and ultimately (I shit you not) Palantir. It was hilarious.
It always is bro.
Anyone have video and audio of it? Want to save it for later use.
If you play the video on the site and right-click it, it allows you to save the mp4. Edit away and meme it up :D
And I thought this post was a little too far.
I guess they just can’t help themselves.
