Amazon didn’t fund the Melania movie to make money—it was a cost of doing business. Nearly $30 million to license her participation, layoffs elsewhere, and we’re supposed to believe this was about profits?
From suitcases of cash in ABSCAM to today’s speeches, no-show jobs, board seats, crypto deals, and foreign money, the hustle has just gone upscale. Both parties, Wall Street, Big Tech—it’s all the same game.
Call it what it is: modern American Hustle. Transparent or not, it’s still wrong.
