President-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural committee has raised a record $90 million to cover the steep costs of next weekend's festivities, the Associated Press reported.

That far outpaces President Obama’s $55 million in 2009 and $43 million in 2013, the AP reported.

Funny how we have been reading that only 37 percent of Americans approve of Trump. Imagine how much money he could raise if he had Obama-level approval ratings. /s

Not bad for an “illegitimate” President, eh?

I’d suggest that the left cut their losses and give up looking like the lying fools they are, but since they’re fools, they’ll never wise up, so I won’t waste my time.

This must be FAKE NEWS.....

For the last few weeks ‘they’ have been saying that the only people that fell for DT were the dumb, lower class, middle American working stiffs.

Must have held a lot of bake sales to raise that kind of money since the smart, monied people are Libs & back the clintoons.

It is ironic that Donald Trump has raised $90. Million for his Inauguration, and it will probably turn out to be an abbreviated affair. I say that because he hasn’t got many performing acts scheduled, and because half the day will be spent just avoiding the rabblerousers. I hope I’m wrong.

I was wrong about the campaign in general. After Trump appeared in Chicago, Ill, and San Jose, Ca. I thought the majority of his big city stops would be just as wild and violent, with police standing by passively watching Trump supporters get beaten up by the score. That turned out not to be so. There were plenty of protesters throughout the country, but after San Jose, far less so. It was like the hottest air had gone out of their balloons. Maybe Soros stopped writing checks to Rent-A-Mob.

I'm going to keep donating to him - it's the best way I can show support and be active in his agenda.

Same goes for FR - if we believe in what it stands for, we need to donate.

$90 million to party. Waste of money. I liked how a character in a book I read once, who was elected president, did. He did not hold all this big money spending gala. He was sworn in in the Oval Office, shook people’s hands, then cleared the office except for his main helpers and got to work. He said something like, “the people did not elect me to party, they elected me to fix the problems that affect this nation. So, I am here to get to work, not party.” Then he got immediately down to work. I never have liked all this crap surrounding the new incoming president. It a high spending, all night drinking, doping and partying gala. And, before you yell, recheck your mind and think about it, YES, there will be “big names” using drugs at these parties. To think they won’t is simply silly. You can have your own opinions concerning these big spending gala’s, but I think they are a waste of money. Just the security to keep the rioters, terrorists and thugs from doing harm is going to cost millions upon millions upon millions. That money would, could, be used for better things. Just one man’s opinion.
