The expensive dud that was master grifter and unindicted co-conspirator Donald "Rump" Trump's inauguration is getting more well-deserved attention. His inaugural committee raised some $107 million for festivities that were decidedly C-list compared to previous inaugurations. Tax filings are indicating that a company owned by one of Melania Trump's closest friends, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, received $25.8 million for event production services. Wolkoff reportedly received $1.62 million for her "services" alone. In contrast, out of the total raised, the inaugural committee has donated only $5 million to charity so far, much less that expected.

It's win/win!
