Pay to Play with the President

It’s official: if you’ve got $1 million to burn, you can buy access to Donald Trump through a new organization that’s got the president’s seal of approval. This group is raising cash for events and projects that will put a Trumpian spin on the nation’s 250th birthday celebrations.

A Trumpian Birthday Bash

It’s ridiculous, but true: for a seven-figure donation, you’ll get to rub shoulders with Trump himself. What you won’t get is a guarantee that your money will be used for anything worthwhile. Given the president’s track record, it’s likely that a big chunk of that cash will go towards lining the pockets of Trump’s buddies and allies.

So, if you’re feeling flush and want to celebrate America’s birthday in style, you can throw your money at this organization. Just don’t expect to get much in return, except maybe a few hours of face time with the president and a hefty tax write-off.
