Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : GOP megadonor Warren Stephens, whom Trump tapped as his ambassador to the United Kingdom, gave $4 million.
57% : Among those who wrote major checks were people tapped by Trump to become government officials, as well as prominent corporations (and their leaders) with business in front of the administration, particularly those in the oil, financial, technology and transportation sectors.
53% : Inaugural committees aren't subject to any contribution limits, although foreign nationals or companies cannot donate (but their American subsidiaries can).
45% : Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg attended Trump's inauguration and received prominent seats in the Capitol Rotunda, where Trump was sworn in after bad weather scuttled the traditionally outdoor event.
