They promised the SecDeg all the hair pomade he can use.
@nx Yes. All of them are eventually going to be investigated. Looks like data centers are going to be cabashed as well. Trump is quickly losing power and everyone in the circle is gaining attention. Midterms-if Congress flips, we’re going to see many billionaires in Congressional hearings. But the stock he bought in Dell, then influenced and gave Dell a contract is a glaring violation.
The sequence of events and the details surrounding the situation include:The Stock Purchase: Government ethics filings show that President Trump's investment portfolio purchased between (\$1) million and (\$5) million in Dell Technologies stock on February 10, with additional smaller purchases made in March.The Public Praise: In the weeks following the purchase, Trump publicly promoted Dell at several events, including a rally in Georgia where he urged supporters to "go out and buy a Dell computer".The Pentagon Contract: On May 27, the Department of Defense announced that Dell Federal Systems had secured a (\$9.7) billion, five-year contract to manage Microsoft software and licensing for the U.S. military, intelligence agencies, and the Coast Guard. Dell's stock surged significantly following the news.The Response: Ethics watchdogs have highlighted this as a conflict of interest, noting that presidents are exempt from the federal conflict-of-interest laws that apply to other government employees. In defense of the transactions, both the White House and the Trump Organization have stated that the president's investments are managed by independent, third-party financial institutions and a trust, without input from Trump himself.
@dc hadn't heard about this. There's really an investigation?
@e6 press says it's a Microsoft licences deal. If true, Dell didn't even place its products, but acted as mere reseller.
how many servers is that? it reads like a software deal or something
And as reported today on the news. An ethics investigation is being opened regarding the millions in stock that Trump bought (Dell stock) and the government contracts. Play nice but win and don’t get into bed with snakes. This Admin is a pay to play. Eventually it will backfire.
@b3 the first $1k is taxpayer funded. Redistributing our wealth. Save for your own kids. Feed your own kids. If you can’t afford, don’t breed. Isn’t that the MAGA battle cry? Oh and all those underprivileged kids. I already support them. SNAP, housing, healthcare and financial aid for college. And for your information, more whites get benefits than any other race. Particularly in southern states.
Play unethicaly and sc--w your employees.
So what lol. get off trumps rod already. it's gotta hurt at this point man
Honestly, who cares dude... Seriously, why do you actually even care what MD does with his own money? He's always been a republican anyways lol. That money wouldn't have gone towards Dell employees regardless so again, who tf cares?
Well if he spent over $6bill to get a $9bill contract, that’s not much of an ROI. Trump accounts are a form of socialism, which I thought MAGA hates. The first $1k is taxpayer funded BTW. Other countries with accounts like this? Socialist countries.
Guess we're getting Windsurf to make software for the pentagon now 🤣🤣
Pay ni attention to the man behind the curtain. Dell kanding a huge contract shortly after donating tons of money to one of Trump's pet projects is a total coincidence.
