The crime boss is shaking down companies for “protection” money
Quote:Trump 'keeping tabs' on which companies aren't shelling out inauguration cash
American companies are forking out money to Trump's inauguration at a time when he's threatening to slap major tariffs on foreign goods, and his decision to grant certain companies exceptions could be make or break for their profits.
According to Rolling Stone's sources, Trump himself seems to understand this particular power dynamic, which is why he is reportedly demanding to know which firms have paid up and which ones haven't.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
