President Donald Trump’s inaugural committee collected a staggering $239 million for the festivities surrounding his swearing-in this year — with some of the nation’s wealthiest people and biggest companies writing large checks as they sought to ingratiate themselves with the Republican ahead of his return to the White House.
“An inaugural committee spokesperson did not respond to an inquiry Sunday about the spending and the size of leftover contributions.”
" Records show the committee for Obama’s first inauguration collected roughly $54 million — money that Kerrigan said adequately covered the costs of “the biggest planned political event in US history.”
Obama’s first inaugural included 10 official balls, an expanded parade and a star-studded concert at the Lincoln Memorial. Trump’s second inauguration featured three official balls. Other Trump events included an inauguration-eve rally at an arena in Washington and a celebration, complete with fireworks, at his golf club in Sterling, Virginia."
Well there you go… At least 200 million for Trump to keep, and some of the potential 60ish million spent already went to him through his Virginia golf club…
But tell me again how this piece of shit isn’t corrupt Magoos. Oh right, he so graciously gives up his $400,000 salary… I forgot how 400,000 is actually more than 200,000,000.
