The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

finance.yahoo.com - Trump raised record million
Trump netted a record $239 million for the inaugural committee, easily topping the $107 million he raised eight years before. It’s also more than the combined $157 million that former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden — the Democrats he followed into office — raised for their three combined inaugurations. Unlike Trump, both accepted voluntary limits on the amount donors could give.

The totals don’t include refunded donations. Trump’s 2025 committee returned more than $6 million it received to contributors.

The inaugural committee raised money to pay for receptions, parties and other events before and after the official ceremonies. The committee doesn’t have to reveal how it spent the money until next year.

/snip

Trump’s inaugural committee isn’t required to disclose how it spent the money or what remains in its bank account. It will have to report those amounts to the Internal Revenue Service in its tax return, which is not due to be filed until 2026.
