- Trump Inauguration Grift
$239 million
“President Trump raised $239 million for his inauguration festivities in January, a norm-shattering amount fueled by corporate America’s desire to curry favor with a famously transactional president,” the New York Times reports.
$1 million
Google donated $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration fund, CNBC reports. Google will also live-stream the swearing-in ceremony on YouTube and include a direct link on its homepage.
$170 million
“President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural committee is no longer selling tickets for major donors to attend his swearing-in and accompanying private events in Washington,“ the New York Times reports. “The committee has raised over $170 million… The haul is so big that some seven-figure donors have been placed on wait lists or have been told they probably will not receive V.I.P. tickets at all because the events are at capacity.”
$200 million
“Since his victory in November, President-elect Donald Trump’s allies have raised well over $200 million for a constellation of groups that will fund his inauguration, his political operation and eventually his presidential library,“ the New York Times reports. “It is a staggering sum that underscores efforts by donors and corporate interests to curry favor with Mr. Trump ahead of a second presidential term after a number of business leaders denounced him following the violence by his supporters at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.”
$1 million
“Apple CEO Tim Cook will personally donate $1 million to President-elect Trump’s inaugural committee,” Axios reports. “The donation reflects a long, collaborative relationship between Trump and Cook that included many meetings during Trump’s first term, and dinner at Mar-a-Lago last month.”
