That's hardly anything new, or anything unique to either Trump or Republicans.

Corporate America Helped Pour $61M Into Biden Inaugural Committee: Here Are The Companies That Donated

Well, based on your link the $1M is a special tier, with telecom and healthcare being half of the list. Ford and GM were in the at least 100-200k range, a lot, but not a million. Had no idea Biden had gotten that much though, thank you for the link!

It was actually $250k from Ford for the Biden inauguration, at least according to this reporting.

It is absolutely an outrage and I fully support bringing attention to how flagrant the corruption is but, sadly, it's not a one party problem.

Campaign donations to biden and cash and car donations to Trump are another example of both these people being in completely different universes when it comes to corruption.
