Trump’s are going to loot this country like an Atlantic City casino and leave us with a pile of used faucets and some tacky carpeting.
At some point soon, “access” will be meaningless because A) Oligarchs all have the same needs and one will speak for all and B) it’s about to become so popular it will be diluted, weak, and pointless.
Oh, and you know who won’t have access? Angry white workingclass midwesterners who really stuck it to Hillary. You really never saw this coming? Really? Good luck to you.
My goodness, what a huge surprise! And what, pray tell, does this foundation do? And what “charities” does it support?
Kinzie also … added that the participation of Trump family members is not confirmed.
So he is selling an item that he doesn’t actually have? Another huge surprise. What is it with these idiots? Can they not give it a rest for even a week before starting the next grifting scheme?
Why we are not all getting in on the action is beyond me.
But…but…her emails…and her pay for play.
I’d like to remind all the people shelling out serious cash for “ACCESS” that one of the big draws of buying a seat at Trump University was getting “access” to DJT and his awesome brain and skillz.
“All net proceeds from this private event will be donated to support conservation efforts.”
“Net proceeds” - the net after several Trump Organization vendors have been paid exorbitant fees or reimbursements with 20% markup for space, food, beverages, set-up, maintenance, clean-up, etc. - and after the Trumps have been paid their normal event attendance and recognition fee.
“Conservative efforts” - the efforts to conserve as much of the money as possible in the Trump coffers, even if by legally questionable means.
The draft invitation for the event obtained by TMZ did not name the conservation charities, and it’s not clear how the net proceeds would be calculated.
This tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about this scam. It really is the height of irony that the Clintons actually do run a true charity and these sc*mbags have hijacked the word to mean money going to them.
I can’t get Tom Waits “Step Right Up” out of my head…
Do a google search of “Donald Trump Junior hunting“ and you will see what a conservationist he is.
Apparently he has killed at least one of every beautiful,exotic, innocent animal on the planet.
“All net proceeds from this private event will be donated to support conservation efforts”
Bull***t
Ah, welcome to the age of Presidenting for Profit…
Eric & Don Jr. will take care of the business and there will be no new deals. Selling access in Trump pay-to-play schemes is a cottage industry.
Reminds me of the donations to veteran organizations, once the Trumps get the money they will be loath to let it go. Every situation they look at they will ask themselves “How can we monetize this?”
Correct. Most people would be shocked at the “net” that actually goes to charity from the professional golf events. It is a miniscule percentage of the gross. I’m looking at you, PGA.
Leslie Coppler, a spokeswoman for the McIntosh Company, another organizer for the event, declined to confirm the reported hunting trip offers to TPM, saying that more details would be released this week. Kinzie also told CPI that the participation of Trump family members hadn’t been confirmed yet, either.
A Center for Public Integrity review of Texas incorporation records found the Opening Day Foundation was created less than a week ago, on Dec. 14. Unlike political committees, such nonprofits aren’t required by law to reveal their donors, allowing sponsors to write seven-figure checks for access to the president while staying anonymous, if they choose.
***The paperwork for the Opening Day Foundation listed four directors: Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Dallas investor Gentry Beach and Tom Hicks Jr., the son of a Dallas billionaire.***

This is how the media contributes to bamboozling the public. The Trump brothers are directors of the entity sponsoring the Inauguration money chase. ***THEY'RE PARTICIPANTS EVEN IF THEY NEVER SHOW UP FOR THE EVENT OR ANY OF THE BENEFITS PROMISED LATER TO THOSE GIVING MONEY.*** Saying their "participation" is yet to be determined is bullshit. They. Are. Participants.It goes without saying that these people have a history of self-dealing and of stiffing beneficiaries out of money they were claiming to contribute. If they gave a damn about conservation they could publicize worthy charities in a dignified way, but that’s not how these tacky, cheap, chiseling con artists do things.
does the $500K include food, drinks, accommodations. ammo and/or a hook baiter and travel? or is that extra?
