    The Spin

    Republican narrative

    Bezos' contribution shows he recognizes the importance of Trump's plans to reduce regulation, cut government waste, and decrease the national debt by growing gross domestic product. Bezos, Musk, and other tech titans can be a dream team of advisors to help Trump put the US back on track.

    Democratic narrative

    These tech billionaires courting Trump are only interested in wealth-boosting deregulation disguised as government efficiency. They're making these donations either out of fear of Trump prosecuting them or as attempts to bribe him — or both. In the end, it's the American people who will suffer.
