Trump-Aligned Club for Ultra Rich Launches in D.C.

Trump-Aligned Club for Ultra Rich Launches in D.C.

“A new club is coming to Washington — and you probably can’t get in,” Politico reports.

“Donald Trump Jr., megadonor Omeed Malik and several other investors are launching an invite-only club that costs more than half a million to join with an exclusive post-White House Correspondents’ Dinner gathering.”

“The ‘Executive Branch’ is the brainchild of Malik and the president’s eldest son, and their partners at conservative fund 1789 Capital. It will be located in Georgetown.”

“Their goal, the people familiar with the plans say, is to create the highest-end private club that Washington has ever had, and cater to the business and tech moguls who are looking to nurture their relationships with the Trump administration.”

...and to lord it over the working citizens of the nation with their exclusive G.O.P. horseshit.

So shut up, pay your taxes (heh, heh) and leave us superiors alone
to enjoy the great wealth we derive from your labor, SUCKERS AND LOSERS." - G.O.P. Bilionaire Bros

Billionaires already can just waltz into the Oval Office and cut deals with Don the Con directly. They don't need Junior's lame-ass "club" to gain access. Their money is already their access. And, judging by the way Trump is fucking up the economy, I can't imagine any self-respecting rich guy is going to want anything to do with this "club," or anything with the Trump name attached to it. Junior's club will fail, just like all of his daddy's businesses have.

Imagine any other presidency basically coming out and saying there’s a club that costs a half million to get in and by paying you get access to the administration and the president.
