The Disney Executive Who Donated $10 Million to Help Trump in 2020

A great irony that I believe went unobserved and unmentioned, in the recent controversy surrounding Disney, and its fight with Florida governor Ron DeSantis and Republicans in general . . .

In the 2020 cycle, America First Action committee was a super PAC dedicated to supporting federal candidates who back the policy agenda of President Donald Trump. When you add up all of the PAC’s donations received in the cycle, and sort the donations by donor employer, the single biggest employer is . . . the Walt Disney Company, at $10.5 million.

The Disney exec who donated to Trump is very un-woke, a long time GOP donor who tried to move against Bob Iger.

Trump isn’t supporting Disney because of PAC money - he’s doing it because he’s a New York liberal who let a cross-dresser participate in his Ms Universe pageant, and said that cross-dressers should use any rest rooms they want to.

Well, it couldn’t be pointing out Trump’s criticism of DeSantis in his handling of Disney, while Trump has been the beneficiary of a significant contribution from a senior Disney representative, now could it?

As usual, the attempt to "Get Trump" by a DeSanctimonious supporter falls flat.

That was three (3) years ago, in the run-up to the 2020 election.

Disney wasn't woke then.

The donator was a Republican.

And yet you, a DeSanctimonious supporter, attempts to draw the tenuous line from that action as a cause effect to what President Trump stated about the here and now with respect to Disney and DeSantis.

No connection whatsoever.

Not sure what the point is. Business leaders tend to donate to politicians. I believe even President Trump donated to Hillary Clinton when he was a business leader in New York.

OTOH, we really don't know who is donating to DeSantos. He has shielded his travel records and donations. We all know he's in the pocket of the RNC, so the only reason for the secrecy must be a more problematic source of funding...Soros??

Count on it

It took a lot of money to get machines programed for 81.000.000 votes kickbacks is a two way street.

You’re lying. DeSantis is in nobody’s pocket. That’s why the Trumpers consider him such a problem.
