    WTF is an “inauguration fund” paying for int he first place? He can’t legally run for President again, and if it’s a political fund, he’d have to use it for political purposes or donate it to the party or something. Of course he could donate $30M to the party and they could just buy 3M copies of some book he profits from, you know, how they typically launder campaign funds to themselves…

      It’s the same grift he ran last time he won. He literally campaigned for president for another 4 years after winning.

      it’s clearly so that he can have the biggest and bestest inauguration party ever. given the record setting attendance his last inauguration got, he’ll probably spare no expense to have a great event with catering and lots of well paid, properly licensed musicians.
