In case you don’t know, on January 20th, 2017, Donald Trump became the 45th President of the United States of America. This was the most expensive inauguration in the U.S. history. Donald Trump is a Republican.
He spent some 200 million dollars on the event. For the sake of comparison, Barack Obama spent just 124 million dollars on the same event. The ceremony gathered the USA’s most influential politicians, including Barack Obama and his wife as well as President Trump’s rival Hillary Clinton and his husband. It’s interesting to note that the ceremony was sponsored by companies and individuals, which is something that you can rarely see in such cases. As a result, the ceremony turned out to be the most expensive inauguration in the U.S. history. The average cost per ticket was $150. However, those who paid $1.000.000 could watch everything from the VIP seats, and participate in all the events following the inauguration.
In the meantime, some other Americans, including some celebrities are against Donald Trump. Some of them refused to participate in the concert dedicated to the event, including Celine Dion and Jennifer Holliday. In New York, they arranged a meeting against Donald Trump, featuring Robert De Niro, Alex Baldwin, Mark Ruffalo and some other movie stars, not to mention mass protests al around the country.
At the same time, George Soros, who is one of the most famous billionaires and investors in the world, belong to those who are against President Trump. To be more specific, Mr. Soros is going to stay away from President Trump since he thinks the president may become a real dictator while his ideas are controversial at best.
While being interviewed by Bloomberg during the World Economic Forum in Davos, the world-famous billionaire said that Donald Trump is a liar, and he may well become another dictator if he manages to avoid punishment. Experts day that this has to do with the uncertainty that can be felt in the air since nobody seems to know what he President Trump is going to do next.
