Amazon and Meta Please Like Us, President Trump!!! Bezos, Zuckerberg Making It Rain for Inauguration

Jeff Bezos may have wanted his newspaper to stay out of politics when he killed a Washington Post endorsement for Kamala Harris ... but he sure opened his wallet fast for President-elect Donald Trump.

Here's the deal ... Amazon and Meta have each pledged $1 million to Donald Trump's inauguration fund -- giving the impression they are kissing up to DT after a wishy-washy election season of support.

Trump has scorched both mega tech companies in the past for, among other things, not fawning over him enough during his campaign ... but it appears JB and Mark Zuckerberg are trying to make it right on Day 1 of the incoming administration.

Donald Trump I'm Time Magazine's 'Person Of The Year'

Donald Trump has been on a roll lately and there seems to be no end to his good fortune because he's been named Time magazine's "Person of the Year."

The newly crowned 47th President-elect of the United States posed for a photo on the cover appearing like a man in charge in his dark suit and red tie. Sitting with one hand over the other, Trump has a serious look on his face as he stares into the distance.

Time gave Trump the honor because he marshaled "a comeback of historic proportions, for driving a once-in-a-generation political realignment, for reshaping the American presidency and altering America's role in the world."

Justin Trudeau America Isn't Making Progress For Women ... Voted Against One, Again!!!

Justin Trudeau's sure Kamala Harris would've made more progress for women than Donald Trump ... slamming the U.S. for not advancing feminism -- and branding himself as a feminist.

The Prime Minister of Canada spoke at an event for the Equal Voice Foundation -- an organization dedicated to improving gender representation in politics -- and, he took his close ally -- the United States -- to task ... saying the recent election of Donald Trump didn't progress women's rights.

Watch the video for yourself ... basically, Trudeau says Kamala would've been better for women than Trump -- saying the rights of women were supposed to be on a steady, if difficult, incline.

New Trump WH Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Reacts to Ellen DeGeneres Moving ... Bursts Out Laughing

Donald Trump's incoming press secretary's a woman of few words ... 'cause we asked her for her reaction to Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi leaving the U.S.A. -- and, all we got was a lot of LOLs.

We reached out to Karoline Leavitt for her reaction to ED and PdR ditching their former Montecito abode for the UK ... and KL responded "HAHAHA."

If this is a sign of things to come when Karoline's standing behind the Presidential Seal, a whole lotta White House reporters better find another way to fill column inches.

Davido Black Americans' Best Bet Is To Stay Put ... Africa's Economy Is In Shambles!!!

Afrobeats megastar Davido has some words for Black Americans who think the grass is greener in the African pastures ... it ain't, and let him tell ya, you're gonna be drowning in oil!!!

Davido was a recent guest on "The Big Homies House" podcast, where he ripped the notion of Black people, especially those upset over the Presidential election, fleeing for the Motherland, especially his own beloved Nigeria.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

“It’s not cool back home…The economy now is in shambles,” Davido complained to host Big Homie Kodaq, and pointed out how African citizens are being reamed ... buying the homegrown oil for more than the people who get it imported!!!

Donald Trump Musk Throws Billionaire Shade At Bezos

UPDATE

7:50 AM PT -- Thursday morning, about 9 hours after Elon Musk's post, Jeff Bezos responded underneath with his own tweet ... "Nope. 100% not true."

Elon Musk took a shot at Jeff Bezos, calling him out for supposedly predicting -- wrongly, we may add -- that Donald Trump would lose the presidential election to Kamala Harris.

On Wednesday night, Musk hopped on his social media platform, X, writing, “Just learned tonight at Mar-a-Lago that Jeff Bezos was telling everyone that @realDonaldTrump would lose for sure, so they should sell all their Tesla and SpaceX stock.”

Clearly, Musk was referring to the stock value of his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, plunging if Trump had lost to Harris, but, of course, that didn't happen. Trump walloped Harris in the election and now he's about to take the reins again at the White House for his second term.

Senator Ted Cruz Hollywood Is 'Out of Touch' ... With Blue Collar America!!!

Senator Ted Cruz is taking shots at Hollywood ... calling the industry's brightest stars "out of touch" with what America actually wants.

Photogs caught up with the Texas politician outside the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C. -- where he encouraged Tinseltown's biggest names, many of whom are Democrats, to take a closer look at the Republican party ... claiming they actually represent what people want.

As Senator Cruz put it ... the Democratic party saw a big loss on election night as they don't "actually understand what working people are like."

Michael Moore Electing Trump Latest American Disgrace ... 'We Are Not A Good People'

Michael Moore is blasting Americans as a collective ... saying electing Donald Trump is the latest in a laundry list of problematic behavior -- and the country's populace is inherently bad.

The controversial filmmaker took to his website to share his thoughts on the most recent election ... and, he let American society have it -- saying past atrocities like slavery and the genocide of Native Americans have led directly to installing a convicted felon and alleged rapist as the next POTUS.

Moore also sees problems with Kamala Harris' campaign ... admitting they cheered when people like Dick Cheney -- someone Moore refers to as a war criminal -- endorsed her and pointing out the Biden admin's support for the War in Gaza certainly didn't help.

Bill Maher Hey Dems ... When You're in a Hole, STOP DIGGING!!!

BLUE WAIL

Bill Maher could NOT hide his contempt for progressives -- aka the left wing -- in the Democratic Party, explaining to them the right wing does not have a monopoly on stupid.

The 'Real Time' host excoriated Democrats for, on the one hand, attacking Trump voters as clueless and dumb, when they are exactly the same.

Bill points to a gaggle of missteps -- watch the video -- and then makes his overarching point. The left-wing sees almost every issue through the lens of race and sex, yet the people they say they're supporting -- Blacks, Latinos, women, etc -- are not on board. It's sorta like, sit back and let us protect you because we know best. Well, Bill says, well, no you don't.

Donald Trump People Want to Be Near Power ... Demand Rises for Properties Near Him

Donald Trump's presidential win is going to make life near his properties more difficult for neighboring residents ... but, that won't stop them from buying to be close to the prez-elect, TMZ has learned.

We spoke to Senada Adzem -- the former VP of marketing for Trump International in NY and a real estate agent in Palm Beach -- and asked her how the Secret Service presence around Mar-a-Lago may impact potential homebuyers.

Adzem doesn't mince words ... saying tight security around Mar-a-Lago over the next 4 years will basically be a serious pain in the ass -- but people who live there just won't care.

The UFC has no shortage of star power at its events -- in and out of the Octagon -- so, who's gotten the loudest pop from the crowd?!

Dana White has an answer.

Cheryl Hines Celebrates RFK Jr. at Mar-a-Lago ... After Bristling at Trump Ties

Cheryl Hines is sending a clear message -- I got you, Bobby -- based on the pics of her celebrating her hubby Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at Mar-a-Lago, months after saying Donald Trump was a thorny issue in their marriage.

Cheryl, a lifelong vocal Democrat, was happy and smiling Thursday night during the president-elect's big bash for his cabinet nominees, including RFK Jr. ... his pick for Health and Human Services Secretary.

This was the first time the couple's been seen together at a Trump event since the election, but sources with direct knowledge tell us she's been onboard all along. We're told RFK Jr. went to Mar-a-Lago the day after Trump's landslide victory, and Cheryl was with him as DT offered the HHS Sec. position.

Megyn Kelly Disney Needs To Dump Rachel Zegler Over Anti-Trump Rant ... She's A Pig!!!

Megyn Kelly didn’t hold back ... calling actress Rachel Zegler "a pig" after the "Snow White" star made a fiery Instagram post wishing Trump supporters would "never know peace" post-election.

Rachel's since apologized following the backlash ... but the conservative commentator ripped into her on SiriusXM Thursday, while calling for Disney to redo their entire live-action remake of the classic cartoon, which has already been filmed with Zegler in the lead role.

Megyn fumed, "Picture this, a Broadway actress who said, 'F Biden supporters, may Biden and Kamala never know peace.' That person would be fired so fast it would make your head spin."

White House Meeting Trump Visits Biden in Oval Office ... Melania Takes a Pass

INSIDE THE OVAL OFFICE

President-elect Donald Trump visited the White House Wednesday morning at the invitation of President Joe Biden, and the 2 sat down together in the Oval Office. Trump thanked Biden for making this transition one of the smoothest ever, so far.

After they sat down, Trump and Biden smiled for the cameras -- and were hit with a cacophony of shouted questions directed at the pair. Secret Service and staffers then ushered the yelling reporters out of the Oval Office without having any of their questions answered.

The invitational meeting is traditionally held whenever a new POTUS is elected -- although Trump didn't extend an invite to Biden as he refused to accept the 2020 election results. Despite their prior war of words, Obama invited Trump in 2016, days after Trump defeated Hillary Clinton.

Pharrell Williams Anti-Celeb Political Tone NOT Shot At Taylor I Proudly Wear '1989' Merch!!!

Pharrell Williams criticized music stars on both sides of the aisle campaigning for their presidential picks ahead of the election ... but is flat-out denying he was gunning at Taylor Swift!!!

The superproducer-turned-Louis Vuitton fashion czar made the political slam a week after TS publicly endorsed Kamala Harris, naturally angering the Swifties.

In a new interview with GQ, Pharrell laughed off the backlash ... "I love Taylor. She knows that."

Dean Cain Glad Swifties Didn't Sway Election ... 'Common Sense Prevailed'

Dean Cain is happy Taylor Swift fans turned out to not be Donald Trump's kryptonite ... because Taylor's endorsement didn't put Kamala Harris in the White House.

The 'Superman' star tell TMZ ... he's pumped Swifties made no difference at the ballot box and in the end "common sense prevailed" in electing Trump president.

Dean says voters aren't swayed as much by celebrity endorsements as perhaps they were in the past ... and he says the proof is in the pudding this election season.
