Amazon $1 Million Donation to Trump Inauguration: Live Stream on Prime Video

Amazon is pitching in $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration in January and they’re planning to stream the event on Prime Video. Both the Wall Street Journal and CNN got the scoop from Amazon directly. Reports suggest that the donation is in the works as Amazon’s founder and executive chairman, Jeff Bezos, gears up for a visit with Trump down at Mar-a-Lago next week.

Not stopping there, Amazon will also stream the inauguration through its Prime Video service, a donation valued at $1 million. Meta, Facebook’s parent company, is also chipping in with a $1 million donation after a meeting between CEO Mark Zuckerberg and the president-elect at Mar-a-Lago.

It seems like Jeff Bezos has been cozying up to Trump over the past year. Following an attempted assassination of Trump in Pennsylvania, Bezos commended Trump’s courage and grace on X. In terms of endorsements, Bezos steered clear of picking a side in the last election, despite his past support for Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton against Trump.

Bezos is feeling optimistic about Trump’s second term, expressing support for cutting down on regulations. He believes Trump has evolved and settled down since his first stint as president. Trump, on the other hand, has been critical of Amazon in the past, suggesting that fair taxes could result in a stock crash.

So, if you’re curious about the inauguration and want to catch it on Prime Video, Amazon has you covered. It’s interesting to see these big players getting involved in the political landscape, isn’t it?
