In reply to the discussion: Google and Microsoft donate $1m each to Trump's inaugural fund [View all]Bengus81
(7,586 posts)15. Eh...Obama received $44 million in donations for his 2013 Inaguration
He refused any in 2009 but then changed to where he would accept them in 2013. His 2009 event was $170M.
I think the cost of any of them is patently ridiculous. Running now around $170-200M for a swearing in and one night of parties.
