Don Jr. co-founds a new private club in DC with $500,000 membership fee--Grift Central

[Anonymous]

Most of us are immune to the blatant grift of Trump 2.0, but this one caught my eye.

Don Jr. is co-founding a new private club in Georgetown called Executive Branch. Co-founders include: Omeed Malik and Christopher Buskirk of 1789 Capital, the investment firm that made Trump Jr. a partner last year; Alex Witkoff and Zach Witkoff, the sons of billionaire real estate developer Steve Witkoff, a longtime friend of the President’s and the current Middle East envoy.

The club is expected to be a social hub for political and business elites, similar to the Trump International Hotel during the Trump presidency--in other words, a space where people wanting to influence the Trump administration can do so. Some of the founding members include: White House crypto czar David Sacks, crypto investors Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, and tech investor Chamath Palihapitiya.

The club already has a waiting list, despite the high price ($500,000 membership fee plus additional regular charges). In attendance at Saturday’s launch were: Marco Rubio, Pam Bondi, Tulsi Gabbard, Dan Bongino, Mehmet Oz, among others. Apparently there will be a strict vetting process for new members and referrals will be required.

That's horrible but it's nothing compared to the crypto grift going on right now.

You are right, PP. Why isn't this a bigger story? I think the enormity of the grift during Trump's second term is overwhelming us. We just can't keep up.

I would never be considered but, even do, I would not join if they paid me $500,000 to mingle with these despicable cretins.

Omg, “Grift Central” is a much better name than “Executive Branch.” Where were you when Junior was naming the club?

I'm guessing the City Tavern space on M Street. The foundation has been renting it out as an event space, but they can more easily and steadily monetize this. And it's the only space in Georgetown that is readily available and already built out for this.

Being fully honest - I would join if they paid me that much.

Who cares! It’s a business, club, elite gathering- whatever. It doesn’t apply to any of us here so why waste time on it. I think, if being honest, most concern here about it is probably deep-seated jealousy. Just sayin’

Selling influence is a crime.

Of being able to pay a $500,000 annual fee? Sure, it would be nice to have that disposable income.

To hang out with that group of festering sores?

Nah.
