Donald Trump spent far less on his presidential campaign than Hillary Clinton did, but the eye-popping money surrounding his inauguration weekend raises a few questions. The presidentâs inaugural committee, which is supposed to be a nonprofit organization, brought in $107 million in donations and used nearly all of it, far exceeding the money spent by Barack Obama in 2009 ($55 million) and in 2013 ($43 million).
âThey either totally mismanaged the $107 million they raised, or they treated it as it can be treated because of the loose transparency requirements around it: as an opportunity to have a slush fund,â Kerrigan explained.
Donald Trump and the Case of the $107,000,000
No one seems to know how Team Trump managed to spend $107 million in donations for his inauguration
âJust sayingâ â BBC Three compares royal wedding crowd to Trumpâs inauguration
BBC Three straight up compared his inauguration to the massive audience lined up to watch the wedding ceremony, which Trump reportedly wasnât even invited to. âJust sayingâ nothing; that was obvious shade.
Think this all went over well with Trumpâs fans? It did not.
OkâŚso whereâs the one about the way the dems spend their money? I havenât voted for either side in a long timeâŚIâve gone Libertarian Party. They truly believe in transparency in Government.
Want to be rich? Live a life that doesnât enrich doctors and lawyers. Only way Trump beats this system is conning people to give him money. When he dies, weâll have clearer picture how poor he really is (probably not really). Probably as poor as his daughter and her husband owing millions.
Sad thing is the Trumpies will send money, thinking that as the little guy, s/he (mostly he, of course) will be making America great by supporting the moron- in- charge
I wonder if televangelists are going to start complaining about this new source of competition for the last Social Security dime and home-sale payout from devout but gullible widows.
The delusional diatribes in this comment section are truly astonishing! Just astonishing! My hats off to Mr Trudeau as a world class puppet master of the liberal strings.
Robert Miller has won the false equivalency prize today. The funny thing is that no one ever insists that I be arrested for robbing a bank just because someone else didnât. You see, it doesnât work that way. I canât be accused of something simply because someone else did it. The same is true of trump and comparing him with other candidates. Trump is in a class by himself. He has lied since the beginning of his campaign about everything you can think of and continues to do so. He has taken bribes from various governments and we have proof of this in the actions he takes. Trump asked Russia publicly for the missing Clinton emails. Trump recently is working with the Chinese spy phone company, which works against American intelligence. Trump is a traitor. The only way to get rid of him is to vote him out it would appear. VOTE DEMOCRATIC IN 2020.
Trump Disciples posting here evidently missed the part about the donations being to the Trump INAUGURATION fund.
Not the CAMPAIGN fund.
.
The INAUGURATION fund collected hundreds of millions of dollars and has few limitations on how it can be spent. Some of the money has been spent on legal bills for Trump himself.
The fund has almost no transparency and is a bigly slush fund for whatever Trump wants.

Itâs doubtful Trump âpeopleâ read Doonesbury but it would be interesting to see how many these forms actually get filled out and sent.

The Trump campaign would NEVER be this honest about what they are REALLY illegally using âCampaign Donationsâ for in REAL LIFE!!!

If the Democrats were not such obstructionists, the money could have been spent on more useful things.

I donated, but only for the purpose of getting Trump a couple of extra fish sticks on Friday. Iâd hate to see him go hungry.

As a liberal, it has never occurred to me find some right wing cartoon and insist they stick up for liberals. I have better things to do.
