Ford to donate $1M, fleet of vehicles to Trump inauguration

Ford Motor Company said it will donate $1 million and a small fleet of vehicles for use in President-elect Trump’s inauguration, multiple outlets reported Monday.

Ford joins a recent wave of major tech companies that have pledged hefty donations to the incoming president’s inaugural fund.

While inaugural donations from companies are not new, the flood of cash — coupled with meetings with Trump at his Florida residence — signal a shift among companies looking to curry favor with the president as he prepares to take office.
