The number of donors is an important statistic as well as actual dollars. Inflation makes everything more expensive, including elections. Consider increasing your donation as an investment in reducing inflation! The Democrats are the party of the rich, so more Republican donors makes that more visible.

President Trump's inauguration speech =>
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvQ5ST6cxBA
Quoting Fox News: The Second Inaugural Address of President Donald Trump, the 45th and 47th President of the United States, was superb. It should be remembered as the "Golden Age of America" speech, but it will probably just be referenced as Trump’s Second Inaugural. President Trump’s Second Inaugural address had at its core the crucial promise: "We will forge a society that is color blind and merit based."
From the Daily Wire:
The Trump White House outlined its main priorities in a day one fact sheet circulated on Capitol Hill and obtained by The Daily Wire. The document laid out the four priorities of the new Trump administration, listed as “Make America Safe Again,” “Make America Affordable And Energy Dominant Again,” “Drain the Swamp,” and “Bring Back American Values": https://bit.ly/3PFVMwT
