Our History Is Not for Sale
Trump’s so-called Freedom 250 celebration of America’s 250th anniversary isn’t a tribute to our shared history — it’s a far-right nationalist spectacle built to glorify Trump world and erase the truth.
As reported by The New York Times and The Independent, Freedom 250 is openly selling corporate sponsorship packages that promise private access to Trump. Companies that give $1 million or more get VIP treatment — and those paying $2.5 million can secure speaking roles and deeper engagement. This is pay-to-play politics wrapped in an American flag.
According to Popular Information, major companies like Mastercard, ExxonMobil, and Deloitte are listed as sponsors.
Deloitte’s involvement is especially alarming. Deloitte has reportedly received a $100 million contract with ICE — the same agency driving mass deportations and detention expansion. Now, Deloitte is helping fund a political celebration aligned with the Trump agenda.
As Common Dreams put it, this is corporate cash buying legitimacy for Trump’s extremist vision.
Freedom 250 is not a national commemoration. It’s another Trump grift.
We’re calling on Deloitte and every corporate sponsor to withdraw immediately.
Our history is not for sale.
Thanks,
