Donald Trump's 2025 inauguration committee raised an unprecedented $239 million, more than doubling the previous record for inaugural fundraising. The massive sum was fueled by large contributions from some of America's wealthiest individuals and major corporations, including JPMorgan Chase and Delta Air Lines. These donors were reportedly eager to gain favor with the incoming administration. The filings highlight the growing influence of corporate money in U.S. politics and the high stakes surrounding presidential transitions. The record-breaking fundraising underscores Trump's continued ability to mobilize financial support from powerful interests.
Of course the swamp is lining up to buy influence—they know Trump actually threatens their cozy status quo, so now they're desperate to get on his good side.

Yet another reminder that big government and crony capitalism go hand in hand—no wonder corporations are lining up to buy influence.
This is a perfect example of how our democracy is being bought by the ultra-wealthy and giant corporations. It’s honestly alarming to see Trump’s inauguration raking in record-breaking amounts from big donors just trying to curry favor. Regular people’s voices are getting drowned out by all this corporate cash. We desperately need campaign finance reform to put power back in the hands of everyday Americans, not CEOs.
