Trump put price tags on White House Easter celebration

Move over, Easter Bunny, the White House Easter Egg Roll is now being sold to the highest bidder.

Donald Trump’s White House opened the door for sponsorships to slap their logos across the South Lawn’s festivities Monday, and big tech came calling. Tech giants like Meta, Amazon, YouTube (owned by Google), and the New York Stock Exchange donated anywhere from $75,000 to $200,000.

According to the administration, the money raised by these billionaires will go to the White House Historical Association.

While this isn’t the first time the event has had some sort of sponsorship, it’s definitely the first time it’s been marketed to this degree. In the past, the White House has accepted private donations with minimal branding.

Don't lie Donny. It's going to your back pocket.

1. All the tariff negations are about channeling money to Trump and his family.

Is he getting a cut?

Asking for the real Christians out there who recognize the G.O.P.'s fulltime grift and blasphemy.

I’m betting he’s getting a cut of every un-American thing he’s doing
