Pres. Donald Trump is reportedly using his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida as an exclusive salon where members gain unique access to the chief executive and jockey to influence his decisions on issues that directly affect their business interests.

*The New York Times reported on Saturday that the 500 people paying $200,000 per year to belong to Trump’s exclusive club include “dozens of real estate developers, Wall Street financiers, energy executives and others whose businesses could be affected by Mr. Trump’s policies.”

“At least three club members are under consideration for an ambassadorship,” wrote the Times‘ Nicholas Confessore, Maggie Haberman and Eric Lipton. “Most of the 500 have had memberships predating Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign, and there are a limited number of memberships still available.”

Among current members are fossil fuel billionaire William H. Koch, trader Thomas Peterffy, insurance executive George Norcross and Rockstar Energy Drink CFO and co-founder Janet Weiner, whose company is attempting to loosen regulations on its products.

Real estate developer and co-founder of Toll Brothers — one of the largest home-building companies in the U.S. — told the Times that the influence of members on Pres. Trump is benign and is just part of casual discussions with the former reality TV star.

1. Sounds like Russia.

Plutocracy, with the worst inequality in the world except for a couple African countries.

2. So I am guessing that Janet Weiner is

the wife of Michael Savage, also known as Michael Alan Weiner.

Rockstar...pffft.

I think I am going to need a lot more whiskey.
