"Barack
Obama set a record in 2009: He raised an unprecedented $53 million to
support his inauguration. That money came from thousands of contributors
nationwide. Donations were capped at $50,000 — considered a high amount
at the time — and, in the tradition of past inaugurations, included
millions of dollars from various special interest groups.
For all
the money Obama raised, Donald Trump's inauguration was something
entirely different. With a fraction of the donors Obama had, Trump
hauled in $107 million for his inauguration, according to a disclosure
released this week. There was no limit on how much individuals and
groups could contribute to the inauguration.
Trump drew $5 million from
billionaire casino owner and Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson — the
largest single inauguration donation ever. According to the Center for
Public Integrity, others who gave at least $1 million include a coal
baron, Wall Street investors and fast-food CEO's. Three major health
insurance companies each contributed $100,000."
