Costs reportedly included $10,000 worth of makeup, $6.4 million for unused accommodations and $1.5 million to a Trump hotel.
A new report on the record $107 million raised for President Donald Trump’s inauguration reveals that expenses included $10,000 for makeup, $1.5 million channeled to the Trump International Hotel in Washington and $6.4 million spent on unused hotel rooms.
The makeup was provided for 20 aides ― at $500 per head. Also, $26 million went to a media company belonging to a close friend of first lady Melania Trump. One of the projects undertaken by that company, WIS Media Partners, was a documentary about the event that was eventually scrapped, according to The New York Times’ review.
=======================================================
Looks like The Donald really made out in this process. But I still would like to see a full accounting of where all that record amount of money went.

Is this unusual for inaugurations? I dont recall ever seeing any other inauguration broken down like this.

Wasn't there something about $5 Million to charity in the article as well? I don't recall a mention of which charity or charities because, apparently, that isn't as important as $10k spent on facial for aides.
Can anyone tell me the last time a sitting potus came out poorer loving office than when he entered office? Has that ever happened?

I respect that you are sincere but your correct it comes off as being partisan.I know this will seem partisan, but the prior Administrations had the decency to steal with humility. Now it’s launch the brick through the window and grab all you can. Stealing with class is a lost art. Left & right...........

I'm not bothered by criticism of ties that appear to be conflicts of interest but they need to applied evenly. I dont like what trump did but I dont like it from any of them. Make it illegal for everyone or I'm not gonna attack any of them over what they look the other way on when it's one of their own

Yup I got no beef with you and in fact I support you speaking out as you are. I do draw contention with the people who want to portray this as unusual.American politicians getting fat is nothing new. As with everything else in our society, the volume and attention have been amped up. I like to think I call out all crapola, wherever it originates. Most, if not all of the US’s problems can be traced back to money; and the interesting thing is that this is not a new phenomenon. Since before the Revolution the colonies were known for our love of money......

You are a numbers guy,right? 5 million to charity out of 107 million in donations; what are we talking, less than 5% out of “found
money” and all’’s well?

Well, maybe he didn't donate the highest percentage but his donations went to charities such as Red Cross and Samaritan's Purse. Prior administrations did donate a higher percentage of their "take. While the article I'm reading doesn't cite the exact percentage it does state that the Clintons, for example, gave between 1-5 to a charitable foundation...their own...for their presidential library. Obama gave, possibly nothing and GHWB gave almost 10% of their take to the Barbara Bush foundation. So, I suppose you're right. Trump really is a cheapskate when it comes to this kind of thing.
