1. That's disgusting, but I've seen $30,000+ fundraisers in Demland too

[thegoose]

4. Yeah, but a sitting president at his own hotel?

And he's making money off it, too..

[FiveGoodMen]

7. He shouldn't be making money that way

but I was mainly reacting to the wildly unequal access to government implied by charging so much just to talk to them.

13. That's not the point. It's self-dealing and it's unethical.

18. Who made you the King of Points?

"Trump is attending a fundraiser at the Trump hotel in DC tonight that costs $100,000 *per person.*"

One point is that no one should have to (or be able to) get special access to our elected leaders with 100 grand ... fee, shall we say?

2. If I can't give more than $2000 (or something like that) to a candidate, how can....

... they charge $100,000 per person for a fund raising dinner? I keep thinking I understand this stuff and then it slithers away.

6. that's the limit on donations to a specific campaign ($2,700)

there are much higher limits for political parties and so on:

15. Oh, so this is not a fund raiser specifically for Trump for president? Thanks! nt

17. fine print at the very bottom. joint committee -- donnie re-election and the rnc.

[Leghorn21]

3. Oh excellent, is McDaniel bringing the RNC books for a public inspection?? Because after all,

Steve Wynn was chairman for a while, and Michael Cohen and Elliot Broidy were deputy chairs, and boy what we wouldn’t give to take a look at those books!! FOR REAL

[Ilsa]

5. Can trump use the money for

Legal fees, or is that illegal?

[Power 2 the People]

8. Disgusting and illegal

But that means nothing when you're a Republican.

[ffr]

9. +1

Political access and tRump enriching himself.

Disgraceful!

10. Time to project something ah..welcoming...onto the hotel tonight.

Maybe it'll happen.

20. Some people say events like this always remind them of butyric acid

[Solly Mack]

21. I was thinking more along the lines of a message projected on the building but

your way sounds good too.

[lame54]

11. Fundraisers are just high $$$ handouts...

Takers in suits

[nolabear]

12. It's for hurricane relief, right? The 10 million they stole?

Rome’s burning, Nero.

14. I'd love to see the guest list.

Each and every one is surely a thief if they want to give Trump that much money.

Has his greasy spoon been inspected lately? Good luck to anyone eating there.

16. Somebody needs to park in the bushes and take pictures of every single person entering and post them

19. Where's the Trumpbaby blimp??? A light show would be nice, too.

Mitt Romney must be pleased his daughter-in-law dropped the family name at the request of the King.
