Team Trump is basically printing money


So far Donald Trump’s proposed Cabinet members have a combined net worth of $35 billion. Yes, BILLION. In yet another sign that he really gets the working class voter, Donald Trump and his team are now offering inauguration packages for the low, low price of $1,000,000:

Donald Trump’s inaugural committee is offering huge perks — prime tickets, luxurious lodging, access to the president-elect himself — in exchange for six- and seven-figure contributions from individual and corporate contributors.

Donors in the “$1,000,000+” category will receive four tickets to a “leadership luncheon” billed as an “exclusive inaugural event” for donors in that category and featuring “select Cabinet appointees and House and Senate leadership to honor our most generous inaugural supporters,” according to a brochure obtained by the Center for Public Integrity.

Drain the swamp? Hahaha. They are going to cash in like no administration in history.

You can see a copy of the available high-dollar packages at the Center for Public Integrity. And if you think a $1 million is going to get you access to your Congressman, think again!

The donor packages offer tickets to Trump’s swearing-in ceremony, although the packages include an odd caveat noting that “this congressional ceremony is not part of our official package; however, Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) will have access to tickets.”

That access must be purchased separately.

6. From my understanding it's "perks" for those that donated

At the million dollar level. Usually it includes tickets to the inauguration and the parties afterwards. It's not unprecedented.

7. Maybe tongue in cheek? Their money bought access either way. nt
