Sounds to me like the initial evidence of possible money laundering ( a Trump specialty). Hopefully some one will follow the money. Love to know what Melanoma’s (whatever) cut is.
So what did the event planning firm do with the 26 million it received? Rent out rooms for assorted dignitaries at Trump properties?
If Charles Blow had any hair, it’d be on fire. Scandal after scandal and supported by the moral majority.
I can smell the stink of Trump’s corruption all the way up here in Maine.
this will undoubtedly go down in history as the most inept and corrupt administration in the US history.
Hard to believe that we have to live through this.
What did the event planning firm do to “earn” its $26 million? Perhaps it could provide some planning and organization for the administration, if it’s that fucking great.
Go Blow! Love the headline!

“F.B.I. director Wray just testified in the Senate that — despite Russia’s ongoing intrusions into our electoral systems — Potus has never charged the F.B.I. with protecting U.S. elections from Russia! Let that sink in. That’d be like F.D.R. doing nothing in response to Pearl Harbor.”
Off topic but yikes in so many ways!
I hope some Democrat in the House is making a list. Hearings on grift must be held, and this seems like an item.
She’d have saved more than that if they’d been using protection. You never know when something like that might come in handy, so to speak.
Actually, I think they probably did get what they hoped out of it–favorable treatment from the administration. Most likely, they are perfectly happy to have Trump pocket the leftovers, so the Administration would do their bidding. I’m pretty sure the small donors gave a tiny portion of the total.
What you say is nauseating and so true…
Would that a Democrat chairing the specific committee could call for a hearing. Before November. Let’s do this in January.
Operators are standing by to take your donations!

The only thing I can see that they got for that $1.6 million are a couple of speeches plagiarized from Michelle Obama.
I wondered why they couldn’t use the left over funds from the inaugural fund for Trump’s military parade extravaganza if he wanted it so badly since I was under the impression it could be used for anything Trump wanted–now I know. What a bunch of grifters–less than $5 million left over for charities.
Stormy got $130,000, so Melania got $130,000,000.
Booyah, bitches.
