This is so transparently just a symbol of submission to oligarchy and/or fascism because there is absolutely no need for these donations. What exactly is this money buying? Kid Rock encore performances? Nope, the only purpose of these "inauguration" donations is to be a ledger on which he keeps tabs.

I keep saying it, these “donations” are and dictator of what’s to come. The money structure knows that we’re entering an era that will be defined by bribery and grift. At this point they are merely preparing for the coming trump dictatorship, they know they will need favor with ol’ donny goodbrains and his authoritarian clown show.
