USA Today: Boeing pledges $1 million for Donald Trump's inaugural events

[erpowers]

President-elect Donald Trump’s Twitter attack on Boeing isn’t keeping the aircraft builder from writing a big check to back his inaugural festivities.

The company already had committed $1 million to help underwrite inaugural events when Trump took aim at the manufacturer this week, according to a Boeing official familiar with the planning, who requested anonymity to speak frankly about the discussions.

Big benefactors will enjoy big benefits, according to a widely circulated fundraising brochure.

Among the perks for “underwriters” who contribute $1 million or more: eight tickets to a candlelight dinner at which Trump and his wife Melania will appear.

I hate Trump as much as anybody, but going gets lots of money from every administration. $1 million is kind of like you and I getting a $5 rebate on a handle of gin.
