So you thought all that extra Trump inaugural money was going to charity?

WASHINGTON — President Trump’s inaugural committee paid nearly $26 million to an event planning firm started by an adviser to the first lady, Melania Trump, while donating $5 million — less than expected — to charity, according to tax filings released on Thursday.

The nonprofit group that oversaw Mr. Trump’s inauguration and surrounding events in January 2017, the 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee, had been under pressure from liberal government watchdog groups to reveal how it spent the record $107 million it had raised from wealthy donors and corporations.

Its chairman, Thomas J. Barrack Jr., a longtime friend of Mr. Trump, had pledged that the committee would be thrifty with its spending, and would donate leftover funds to charity.

But the mandatory tax return it filed with the Internal Revenue Service indicates that the group’s charitable donations included only an already publicized $3 million for hurricane relief, plus a total of $1.75 million to groups involved in decorating and maintaining the White House and the vice president’s residence.​

Trump lied, again? And some of his cronies pocketed millions in the process. And pals of Melania also profited.

For the tiniest inaugural turnout ever. Sad.

Yeah - and Toby Keith and a D grade country cover band cost 25 million?

Sure

The inaugural committee was criticized for staging an extravagant concert on the National Mall featuring performances by the country music star Toby Keith and the rock band Three Doors Down. The concert reportedly cost $25 million.

Oh wait - perhaps it was that Yuuuge crowd at Donald's parade?

Look how sad that looks. It looks like a funeral parade for Mussolini. The Secret Service debated whether they were needed before the parade, "well there isn't anyone here, where are the possible threats?" "Look in the first row, that kid with the balloon, he looks like he's 5 years old but let's keep an eye on him".

One guard to the other: "See the kid with the red sweatshirt and hat with his hands in his pockets? ...
He's clearly reaching for some sort of foreign object"

Oh NO an event planning company was actually PAID for services. Someone stop the presses, this has never happened before.

26 million for an advisor to the first lady? LoL - where do I sign up??

My first bit of advice will be for her to leave the pussy-grabbing porn star screwing toxic orange turd.

She can pay me in installments

A company that has ties to the Trumps and seems to have been overpaid. $26 million just to plan it. That is good work for a 1 day event. Being Trump's pal pays well.

busybee01 freaking nailed it.

I mean Pa-LEEASE - 26 mil to serve as an advisor to Mel Drumpf?

Spare me - Anyone who thinks that money (MOST of the 107? mil) didn't line the pockets of Drumpf Inc is retarded.
