After Donald Trump won the presidency in November, a flood of money started pouring into his inauguration fund.
We've seen one company after another really kind of follow a similar playbook for how to deal with this administration.

These donations are helping pay for stuff like galas and balls at the inauguration.
And our colleague Chip Cutter has been following the money.
One executive after another has all decided to give a million dollars sort of name the company name, the big brand, McDonald's.
McDonald's gave money to this fund.
Toyota joining other major auto companies like.
Ford and General motors and making $1.
Million donation to President Boeing.
Boeing gave money to this bond.
Meta led by Mark Zuckerberg is also giving a million dollars to the fund Walmart.

Uber, Goldman Sachs, bank of America.
The list goes on and on.

Actual things, actual things.
