Many senior executives in US industries and finance have already made the trip to Mar-a-Lago, Trump's transition team headquarters, or are planning to, according to reports, as they seek to gain influence and access to the incoming administration that's threatening to shake up international trading norms.
Brendan Glavin, director of research for the money-in-politics nonprofit OpenSecrets, told CNBC last week that Trump's inaugural committee presents a great opportunity for them to curry favor with the incoming administration.
Trump's second-inauguration haul is on track to shatter the previous $107m record, as pledged contributions have already exceeded a $150m fundraising goal.
None of these people, they don't want to be Trump's punching bag for four years, he told the outlet.
