McDonalds tweeted

"@realDonaldTrump you are actually a disgusting excuse of a President and we would love to have @BarrackObama back, also, you have tiny hands"


The Vanguard Group

is the largest investor for McDonalds. Apparently, they also caught some flak (Updated July 2016) for paying Bill Clinton $400,000 in 2012. They also have a PAC that contributed $339,000 during the 2016 election cycle. Recipients here and Donors here.


Hillary Clinton

and Donald Trump were compared in an opinion article published by MarketWatch stated that Donald Trump's 93 pages of investments were many in comparison to Hillary's single investment in The Vanguard 500 Index Fund


F. William McNabb II, CEO and Chairman of The Vanguard Group

"...owns close to $590 million in private prison shares."

Abigail Johnson, Leader of Fidelity Investments

"...owns over $520 million in private prison shares."

The Law Offices of Amoachi & Johnson, PLLC In an article, wrote:

The GEO Group and Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) have been active in the press as of late. Most recently, Florida Atlantic University announced that it would name its new stadium the “GEO Group Stadium” in recognition of a $6 million donation from the private prison giant.

The CEO of CCA recently assured investors that there was no need to worry about immigration reform, as Colorlines reported: "There is always going to be strong demand regardless of what is being done at the national level as far as immigration reform."


At this point in the video, 4:55ish, HoneyBee kind of puts it together, stating

So as you can see here, this is profiteering done at the behest of.......relying on immigrants to fill the prisons so that these private prisons can get more money. So you can obviously see here why these big agencies and investment firms don't like the fact that Donald Trump is banning immigration from, you know, Radical Islamic countries. Places like Syria, Somalia...this is happening because they're worried about losing money. It always comes down to money.


I hope I was able to sum it up well enough for you. Peace and love.
