The Blue-Collar Billionaire's Inaugural Ball

Click here for an article at Crooks & Liars, by LeftOfCenter, entitled "Trump Invites The Swamp Monsters To His Inaugural -- For A Price."

It seems that our man of the people, whose spending on Inaugural Balls and other celebrations is expected to top $65 million, far more than has ever been spent before, will be selling access to all the events -- for a cool million dollars.
For seven-figure contributions, Trump's richest supporters will get a slew of special perks during the inauguration weekend, including eight tickets to a “candlelight dinner” that will feature “special appearances” by Trump, his wife, Melania, Vice President-elect Mike Pence and his wife, Karen, according to a sheet detailing “underwriter package benefits” obtained by The Washington Post. The 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee confirmed the authenticity of the donor brochure, which was first reported by the Center for Public Integrity.

Other million-donor benefits include an exclusive lunch “with select Cabinet appointees and House and Senate leadership,” four tickets to “an intimate dinner” with the Pences, eight tickets to a lunch with “the ladies of the first families,” eight tickets and premier access to the inaugural ball and priority booking at “Premier Inaugural Hotel(s).”
