Well, what do you know. When Donald Trump called United Technologies, the parent company of Carrier, to get them to hand him a PR win by keeping some jobs in the United States that had been slated to go to Mexico, he didn’t just call as the president-elect and the bully-and-briber-in-chief. He called as a stockholder.
According to Trump's financial disclosure form, he earned between $2,501 and $5,000 from United Technologies all the while he was railing against them on the campaign trail. Given the grand scale of Trump’s hypocrisies, this is a minor piece, but it is yet another reminder that whatever Trump says, his own profit will always come first.
