Trump's team to raise millions for Jan. 20 events
"Trump, who vowed during the campaign to "drain the swamp" of special interests corrupting Washington, has set $1 million donation limits for corporations and no limits for individual donors, according to an official on the Presidential Inaugural Committee with direct knowledge of tentative fundraising plans."
"At the same time, Trump's inaugural committee will not accept money from registered lobbyists, in line with his ban on hiring lobbyists for his nascent administration."
"Barack Obama set stricter limits on donations for his first inauguration, in 2009, holding individual donors to $50,000 each and taking no money from corporations or labor unions, as well as none from lobbyists and some other groups."
So, Trump is really out on the sell here. Obama had limits of $50,000 for individuals and nothing from corporations, lobbyists and unions, but Trump who claimed to want to clean up politics is taking from almost anyone, and large sums. You'd think the guy could pay for this himself, but no, he's selling out.
