  • Large corporations typically donate to both political parties to maintain a good standing with top policymakers.

The article from MSN discusses how several North Texas companies were among the major donors to Donald Trump's inauguration in 2017. Companies like AT&T, American Airlines, and Southwest Airlines contributed significantly, with AT&T donating $2 million, making it one of the largest corporate donors. These contributions were part of a broader trend where corporations and individuals donated to gain favor or access to the incoming administration. The inauguration raised a record-breaking $107 million, with funds coming from various sectors including energy, finance, and technology. Despite the large sums, there was scrutiny over how these funds were spent, with some expenditures appearing lavish or unnecessary. The article also touches on the political implications and the ongoing debate about the influence of money in politics, especially concerning how these donations might affect policy decisions or regulatory oversight.
