1. If the donald is as rich as he says he is, why can't he grab some headlines

by funding his own inauguration?

5. Eloon can fund it, after all he's the real president now😹

[Walleye]

11. Ha! He never spends his own money, that's the guiding principle of his life, Elon too

[Retrograde]

2. All that's required

is that the incoming president takes the oath of office specified in the Constitution at noon on Jan. 20. Becoming president doesn't require a parade, or a banquet, or a series of balls, or any other sort of pomp. Surely Elon and Ramasmary can cut these expenses...

4. Do you know what Biden's inauguration cost?

[Sanity Claws]

12. Not much

It was held during the height of the pandemic and had no inaugural ball.

9. Trump and Elon don't mean cutting THEIR budgets.

Their goal is to steal everyone else's budget for themselves.

3. If he puts out some extreme extravaganzas that in the end

winds up costing 90M, does your government (ie: the people) have to pay it?

6. I found this interesting.

7. He will expect his to be exceptionally extravagant.

Has to have a coronation.

8. Most of it going into his own pocket?

10. Lavish luxury for themselves, severe austerity for everyone else.

Like in all fascist regimes.
Russia, China, North Korean, etc.
