Don, Jr. continues to rake in the money alongside Dad. The Red Team announced yet another way to separate huge sums from billionaires wanting political influence. It's a new membership club, one with a waiting list.
Axios reported:
Besides Don Jr., the owners are financier Omeed Malik; Chris Buskirk, of 1789 Capital, who's close to Vice President Vance; and Alex Witkoff and Zach Witkoff, sons of real estate developer Steve Witkoff, the president's close friend and Middle East envoy.Founding members include David Sacks, White House A.I. and crypto czar, and co-star of the "All-In" podcast; his "All-In" colleague Chamath Palihapitiya; superlobbyist Jeff Miller; and the Winklevoss twins, who are co-founders of a crypto platform.
The club — with Donald Trump Jr. as a lead investor, and membership tightly screened for loyalty to President Trump — will be a sumptuous retreat for rubbing shoulders with cabinet members and West Wing officials, with no danger of running into reporters or Democrats..
The people forming the club and a number of founders absolutely qualify as "members." CNBC reported:
I imagine the wealthy will soon scream to pay more taxes and not have to fund Trump Grift Shop's latest $1 million a pop promotion.Saturday’s launch party event for Executive Branch included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, Attorney General Pam Bondi, FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, deputy FBI director Dan Bongino and Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, according to people who attended.Also attending were several tech founders and CEOs, including AppLovin CEO Adam Foroughi, the people said. Prospective members of the club have to be heavily vetted and approved by its founders, according to people close to Executive Branch.Although some prospective members have offered to pay $1 million to join, membership requires a referral and close screening.
Trump's cabinet deserves a break from the never ending planting of lips on the Donarch's backside. I'm not sure Don Jr.'s posterior will offer solace.
Trump II is clubbing democracy like a baby seal.

Lawlessness and self-dealing is the fashion of the day, with a heavy dose of malignant narcissism.Crimes again international law and humanity are defended with duplicity and hypocrisy.The Constitution itself is battered by money and the will to power. How all this will end only God knows. But these things rarely end anywhere but badly.History is incredulous at servile lack of decency and willful collaboration in the face of madness.
