Trump Has Reeled in More Than $200 Million Since Election Day
The president-elect has boasted about the donations for his inauguration, library and political activities from those seeking favor or perhaps in some cases, atonement.

Since his victory in November, President-elect Donald J. 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, according to four people involved in the fund-raising.

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.

Mr. Trump has promised to gut the “deep state” and made various promises to industry supporters. Among the pledged donors for the inaugural events are Pfizer, OpenAI, Amazon and Meta, along with cryptocurrency firms.

The total haul for the committee financing his inaugural festivities — at least $150 million raised, with more expected — will eclipse the record-setting $107 million raised for his 2017 inauguration, according to three people briefed on the matter who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to share internal financial information.

1. This is the money we know about.

I am sure there is covert money coming in too.

2. This is the nakedly corrupt bullshit the media has normalized

If Kamala Harris had pulled in $200 million in the seven weeks after winning the presidency, Republicans would not only have hearings ready to go two days after inauguration, they'd also have articles of impeachment already pre-written... They'd also make sure that Kamala's "payoff scandal" got nonstop 24/7 coverage on Faux News until it became a national story...

But it's "Donnie being Donnie" so it's just another day...
