Offer of access to Trump and family at fundraiser is pulled back, but ties remain

Source: The Washington Post

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."

Vanity Fair is now using the banner "The ""Way Down, Big Trouble, Dead!"" Magazine Donald Trump Doesn't Want You To Read".

I just purchased subscriptions for two of my dumpster relatives as last minute Christmas gifts. As Cousin Eddie would say "It's a gift that keeps on giving all year long."
