🎁 —> Trump’s Team Offers to Keep Some Ballroom Donors Incognito

“… Among the donors not disclosed by the White House are a pair of health care companies seeking to protect or expand Medicare reimbursement for their products, as well as the Wall Street powerhouse BlackRock, whose bid to acquire a stake in Panama Canal ports has been supported by Mr. Trump amid opposition from China. Another is Jeff Yass, a major investor in TikTok’s parent company who could benefit from a Trump-backed deal to keep the social media app up and running in the United States.

The chip-making giant Nvidia, which could be the beneficiary of a deal with the Trump administration to facilitate trade with China, was also not on the list of donors released by the White House. But last week the company’s chief executive revealed that it was among the donors, saying he was “proud to contribute in a small way to what will be a historic and national monument for our country.”

Still others attended a dinner at the White Houselast month for donors who gave $2.5 million or more to build the ballroom, but their presences were not disclosed by the administration, and not all of them have not publicly acknowledged whether they donated. They include Greg Brockman, the president of OpenAI, which has lobbied Mr. Trump’s team to block state artificial intelligence laws.

Mr. Trump’s fund-raisers have been circulating a pledge form, a copy of which was obtained by The Times, seeking contributions for the ballroom, which gives donors the option of withholding their identities from public disclosure. Such donations could remain anonymous in perpetuity, as the funds are being raised and managed by the Trust for the National Mall, a nonprofit registered under a section of the tax code for charities that provides benefits for donors including the ability to claim tax deductions and to keep their identities anonymous.…”
