Trump raised $239 million for inauguration, more than doubling his own record

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : The three largest contributions came from a poultry producer, Pilgrim's, which donated $5 million; a crypto company, Ripple Inc., which donated just under that; and Warren Stephens, a Republican donor who gave $4 million on the same day, Dec. 2, that Trump named him as his pick to be ambassador to Britain.
56% : Contributions to inaugural festivities have long been used by corporate interests to cultivate allies in an incoming administration, but the amount raised by Trump is exceedingly high by historical standards.
40% : Trump's committee accepted a total of roughly $245 million, but issued about $6 million in refunds, including a $50,000 check from the Miss Universe Organization, which Trump used to own.
