There is a big money on the Right, and everyone seems to be on the take at this point. According to financial disclosure forms, multiple Trump cabinet picks have made millions of dollars in the past few years off of the MAGA movement, including people like Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi and Intelligence Director nominee Tulsi Gabbard. Both women have cashed in to the tune of millions of dollars from investing in Trump’s social media company, speaking appearances, and gigs on Fox News. It pays to sell out to MAGA, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

There's been a real interesting phenomenon that has happened in, uh, American politics over the last, you know, 10, maybe even 15 years. And that is you have people who start out on the left, you know, typically in, in broadcasting or something like that. There'll be a staunch progressive, right? I am hardcore and we all like, names are popping into your heads right now as I'm saying that. But then over time they just move to the right, right? I mean, they go from being Bernie Sanders type people to full on maga, right? And there's an easy explanation for that money. There is far more money on the right than there is on the left, and a lot of these people on the left scraping by eventually say, screw it, I'm gonna sell out because I need that money. I want that money. I mean, you don't really see people saying, I'm leaving the Republican party and I'm gonna go be a progressive commentator. That that doesn't happen.
So we see a lot of people leave the left and go to the right. One of those people in recent years, of course was Tulsi Gabbard. And according to her financial disclosure forms, Tulsi Gabbard has made a buttload of money in just the last 12 months, over a million dollars, becoming a right wing maga supporting idiot. Here is what a recent report from USA today had to say about Gabbard. She brought in over 1.2 million last year as a MAGA surrogate, according to a financial disclosure released on Saturday, the former Democrat turned conservative Superstar made just under 300,000 in advance for her book for Love of Country Leave. The Democrat Party behind nearly 200,000 is a Fox News contributor, nearly 120,000 as a media contributor for the right wing American Center for Law I Justice, and more than $170,000 for over a dozen speaking engagements, including at the Heritage Foundation.
That's in addition to the nearly 415,000, the former Hawaii Congress member pulled in from her businesses, Tulsi Media, LLC and TOA studios, LLC, and her podcast, the Tulsi Gabbard Show. So Gabbard, who of course used to be, I mean quite literally right there on the left with Bernie Sanders moves to the right, suddenly makes more than a million dollars in a year being on the right. And of course, being a Trump nominee, a Trump surrogate, uh, surrogate. She's not the only one. I mean, she's not the only Trump cabinet pick that is cashed in from maga. Um, we also know that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Used to be lit. I mean, used to be a co-host of Ring a Fire Radio, and now he moves to the right, makes millions of dollars from his Children's Health Defense fund, which of course appeals more to conservatives than liberals.
And now he's a MAGA nominee. But even those who stayed on the right the entire time are still cashing in from Maga 'cause As USA today points out, even Pam Bondi, Donald Trump's pick to be Attorney General has made millions from her MAGA affiliations. Bondi made at least $3 million from the creation of the parent company of Trump's social media platform. Truth Social, according to her personal financial disclosure form, the form filed with the US Office of Government Ethics and obtained by USA today detailed her financial links to Trump through organizations he owns or that supported him. Bondy, like all other shareholders, received $3 million in shares and warrants of Digital World Acquisition Corps from tis LLC on the morning of a merger between Digital World and Trump Media and Technology Group. According to the disclosure form, the shares and warrants were then converted to stock in Trump media.
