Did you also call Obama's inaugural funding as corruption, when he was donated $53 million in 2009 and ~$43 in 2013 ?

Did you also call Biden's inaugural funding as corruption when he was donated ~$62 million ?

Donations included several billionaires - including the Gates family.

Is raising Presidential inaugural funds considered as "corruption" only for one party ? Or only when it crosses ~$100 million like President Trump did ?

I believe you missed another option. The President-elect has been convicted for fraud, is a big believer in quid pro quo, and did similar actions in his first term.

Sometimes it really is about corruption.

Changing the goal posts away from the inaugural funding, I see - because its fine for your side of the aisle - you have no standing there. It is now suddenly back to that horrific judgement by a partisan and corrupt judge whose daughter (Loren Merchan) was a highly-paid (multi-million) political consultant campaigning for Kamala Harris and where a misdemeanor was raised to a felony, then the felony was applied outside the standard five-year statute of limitations for felonies, the prosecution never proved which exact "unlawful means" (campaign finance, tax fraud, etc) Trump intended and where the jury was from Manhattan - which voted ~90% democrat and would have voted guilty for a non-democratic fart.

Sometimes it really is about extreme corruption.
