7 thoughts on “Tech giants who vilified Trump are now giving him millions

    1. Amen. There was never a “vilified” to begin with. Sure, there was a time where associating closely with a bigoted sociopath wanna be authoritarian such as Trump was not good business, but this was far from “vilifying.” Corruption in plain sight.

    1. It certainly is. We’ve had one for a while, but Trump is trying to take it to the next level and make us Russia.

    1. Mike D., do you have any intelligent thoughts to offer, or just name calling? For instance, you could start by explaining why you think Trump will be a good president. I personally can’t think of a single reason.
