The initial invitation from Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump dangled a rare opportunity for donors willing to pony up $500,000 and more: a private reception with the new president the day after his inauguration and a hunting or fishing excursion with one of the brothers.

Opening Day is your opportunity to play a significant role as our family commemorates the inauguration of our father, friend and President Donald J. Trump, read the draft obtained by TMZ.

But days after the details about the high-dollar Jan. 21 camouflage & cufflinks-themed fundraiser first leaked, a spokeswoman for the president-elect said Tuesday that neither he nor his adult sons were involved in plans for the event. And the organizers of the function who include close friends of the Trump brothers dialed back offers of access to the new president and his sons.

What a crock o' shit this is. The Most Dangerous Clown needs to be stopped now.

And this:

"The conservation foundation named Tuesday as the events beneficiary told The Washington Post that it is still considering whether to participate."

"No matter which group benefits from the event, watchdog groups said the arrangement is effectively selling wealthy donors access to the highest office in the land."


Draining the swamp my ass!

3. "neither he nor his adult sons were involved in plans for the event"

for fuck sake... the event offers time with the 'boys'... they ARE involved

7. Yeah, sure, that's the ticket. LOL

"The Jan. 21 function was the brainchild of two Dallas friends of the Trump sons, hedge-fund manager Gentry Beach and private-equity investor Tom Hicks Jr. All are avid hunters....State corporate filings list Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump as directors of the group, along with Beach and Tom Hicks.

But transition officials said the Trump sons were listed on the document without their permission and have asked the Texas secretary of state to remove their names."


So a hedge-fund manager and a private-equity investor are going to list dumb and dumber on an official state document without their knowledge?

8. Surely there's a penalty of perjury clause in that document.

These fuckers aren't even in the White House yet and they're making Tricky Dick Nixon look like a saint!

9. "dumb and dumber"

4. Still...

it evinces a certain attitude, doesn't it?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

5. Is Trump going to let them rub his tummy so some of the"winning" rubs off?

[C Moon]

6. I wonder how it would go over with the right-wingers, if Hillary and Bill starting doing this?

The Dems should start doing all the things the GOP is getting away with.
They would be screaming!

10. Maybe this time but they will keep trying.

It has become clearer to me that Trump has no interest in actually being POTUS, but as to how he can make the Presidency into a money making deal. He really sees this as a corporate venture that will do what he does best...bankruptcy for us but not him.
