What these type of meetings sell, which I gather are not uncommon across the political spectrum, is the opportunity to drop “I had dinner with the president”.

For people of a particular stripe, the status boost would easily be worth a million dollars. Consider the other status goods that cost $1M+, it doesn’t seem out of the ordinary.

Of course, given the current situation, I’m surprised dinner with Trump isn’t considered a status hit that would be worth avoiding even if they were paying the guests a million to attend.

My guess is this name drop will have a very limited shelf-life…

How did they come up with a price point of $580,600?

Surely it’s still a bargain at $599,999.99?

:thinking:

Especially with someone known to say “I never met the guy” about people he regularly met with.

Are we sure that it’s for his 2020 campaign, and not his getaway fund?

I guess some people still think Trump has a good chance of winning in November. Or else they have enough money to casually throw away a half mil on a whim.

This world is owned by the wealthy, always has been, they just let us live here so we can do their laundry and mow their lawns. They will destroy this world trying to eke every last dollar out of its natural resources, then they will try to buy the remaining food and pay for their protection when it all goes to hell.

Now I wonder what’s on the menu, and if it’s any good.

“beef jerky magnate”

What a great insult.

And pay their taxes. Once they’ve been excused, that socialism for the rich doesn’t come cheap!

The dubbing is almost as bad as that in Second City TV’s film adaptation: “Das Boobs”.

More like “bring-your-own-hood”.

These people exist in a very shiny bubble and the light from the oncoming electorate freight train just reflects off it.

They should be very fearful of their security providers when it all goes to shit, but won’t because of their arrogance and feelings of entitlement. Eat the rich will take on a whole new and very immediate meaning for these douches.

Maybe it was a round sum in the currency of one of the tax havens those guys are keeping their profits in?

So according to D J Trump, only rich white lives really matter.

I’ve been there too. A ‘jewel’ that many don’t seem to notice is their fictional grant supporter, mentioned in a couple of longer skits. Instead of “… a grant from the Chubb Corporation” it’s “…a chub from the Grant Corporation.” Damn, I miss the entire cast, especially John Candy.
