Trump Is Selling “VIP Access” To Birthday Parade

The Wall Street Journal reports:

Donors are being offered a “dedicated VIP experience” at several events that President Trump is planning with the U.S. military this summer, according to several donors familiar with the matter.

Those who give to America250, a committee created to support what Trump envisions as a large national celebration next year for America’s 250th birthday, will be given special access to three events, according to a pitch shared with donors. Those include a military parade Trump is planning on his birthday, a “military readiness” event he is leading at Fort Bragg military base with thousands of troops and an Independence Day celebration in Washington, the people said.

Trump plans to visit Fort Bragg, N.C., on June 10 for a “readiness demonstration,” according to the pitch made to donors, where he will address thousands of troops. The rally will include a military flyover, according to the presentation, and will be filmed as part of a “national broadcast special,” donors were told.
