SCOOP: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with President Donald Trump at his Florida compound, sources tell WIRED, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting.

“It’s everyone else who missed the boat,” a Trumpworld source with knowledge of the meetings says, referring to latecomers to the Trump agenda. The source pointed specifically to the tech sector, where executives have scrambled to show fealty to the new administration.

All I have to say is: BOYCOTT United States. Buy NOTHING Made In the USA. Until they remove this pile of feces from the White House. Until they BURN DOWN the Republican Party. DO NOT BUY USA PRODUCTS.

It’s unclear where the money is going and what it will be used for, but one source with direct knowledge of the dinners said “it’s all going to the library,” as in the presidential library that will ostensibly be built once Trump leaves office. Scoop here:

That “library” will be desecrated and destroyed when, and every time, they build it. FOTUS and his ilk will go down in American history as our biggest mistake, and his name will replace Benedict Arnold as the stereotype for a traitor.

NOBODY. IS. FUCKING. FOOLED. bsky.app/profile/npr....

A Public Citizen report obtained exclusively by NPR shows the new administration has halted or tried to dismiss cases or investigations against at least 89 companies in the last month.

I never knew Playboy and Hustler magazines were that expensive. This is all his putrid library will be filled with. Well there may be a lot of scratch and sniff books and the collection of Scholastic booklets. All of the books will include lots of pictures and very few words. Words hurt Shitler.

Such an obvious sham. There will be no library, the entire Trump family is banned from creating or operating nonprofits in the state of NY because they used theirs as a self-enrichment vehicle. They'll do the same here. The library will never happen and the $$$ will disappear.

Show us the receipts, account and whose names appears on it and instructions on administering the funds. There should be a separate account frozen until construction begins on the library.

If you're wondering where we stand on politics coverage, we're not slowing down, or stopping anytime soon. Some words from our Global Editorial Director @katie-drummond.bsky.social:

I had the privilege of talking to @apnews.com about WIRED's Elon Musk and politics coverage. Most important thing: We're not slowing down, we're not stopping, and we're going to cover this story, relentlessly, for as long as we need to. apnews.com/article/elon...

I love it. You guys have nailed why tech oligarchs threw their lot in with this regime. I have subscribed again for the first time in years and will keep subscribing. Tech folks can help clean up their own mess, and I'm here for it.

And which book(s) does Trump plan to put in his library? It won't be about the U.S. Constitution. And it won't be a biography of George Washington or Thomas Jefferson. Maybe a book about Hitler's rise to power.

“Once Trump leaves office. “ So it’s going in his pocket as we know he will never willingly leave office. And if for some reason he does, an illiterate like him will not be building a library.

This is trump selling citizenship to Russian oligarchs! When is everyone gonna wake up and see that trump, musk and Vance are turning the country into Russia! The USSR! THEY'RE WORKING FOR PUTIN!! wake up and stop this reign of terror!! If their lips are moving, they're lying!

We wasted 2 years investigating Biden because his brother used $40k he got in a deal with a Chinese company to repay a personal loan. Republicans said it was proof he was selling influence but this is OK?

We used to call these "Bribes". And bribes used to be felony/crime. But neither Congress nor the Supreme Court are interested in fulfilling their oaths to put this grifting at the highest level to an end. Trump's treats the Presidency as another of his businesses, designed to enrich only himself.

This was always part of Elonald's plan, to monetize the position of the Presidency and grift off the backs of America. Your White House is for sale and the going price is $5 million dollars. And yes Mar-a-Lago is the White House...

Ask tRump what actions he is going to take against Putin to FORCE him to stop the invasion of Ukraine! Why is he only attacking Ukraine? Is it because Putin has 'dirt' on him? Or does he think Putin will let him build a tRump Tower & Casino in Crimea? You know tRump only cares for himself.

If they were spending their money wisely, they’d use that opportunity to try to convince Trump to change course regarding some of his more destructive economic policies. Sadly, I’m certain they’re blowing it, trying to curry favor by stroking his…ego.

Meanwhile people are hungry, in massive medical debt, poor and without prospects to enhance their lives. But yes let's blow millions on a dinner with trump. Tax the fucking rich.

I guess when maga complains about Biden making money they’re really upset because he could have made so much more? must be why they call him dumb because he didn’t maximize his corruption like a mobster would

Meetings in the oval office are recorded for history. Official photographers record the meetings for history. Does the same happen with meetings in Florida? Also how much is the US government paying trump international properties with trump doing government business there?

But that’s ok because Democrats are going to bring noise makers to congress for the big speech!!! Yaaaayyy!!! Thanks Democrats!!! Your feckless complacency continues to inspire!!!

Flooding the zone with grift and corruption. Courts will never be able to keep up. The most corrupt takeover of our government in American history. I don't know how we peacefully recover.

As I have always said: the wealthy can pay their taxes. Indeed, they are so profligate with their money that the government in taking their money is performing a service by stopping the rich wasting it.

Self dealing…again, against the law. It just doesn’t seem to matter to anyone in law enforcement, what exactly is law enforcement in today’s world where we see leaders breaking law after law and no one seems to care but the people.

It’s so genuinely disappointing to see them line-up to be extorted. We have elevated the wrong people. Ignorant and insecure cowards, all of them. Together they have the real power, but we will all suffer for the vacuum of real leadership and their fragile egos.

Once again, if Biden or any Democrat had done this, we would have 24/7 news coverage on every cable news station, online news site, and podcast on the scandal of the century.
