Trump Now Charging $5M For One-To-One Meetings

The Daily Beast reports:

If you want a private audience with President Donald Trump, be prepared to pay. Trump has been offering one-to-one conversations in exchange for a hefty donation to MAGA Inc., a super PAC founded in 2022 that raises funds to support the GOP President, The New Yorker reported.

The price is a cool $5 million, according to the magazine. It is a hefty hike since December, when MAGA supporters could buy a seat at a group dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago for $1 million.

But it follows a spate of White House schemes to raise funds including a crypto dinner that came in at $1.7 million a seat and was billed as the “most exclusive invitation in the world.”

Read the full article. Earlier this year it was reported that Trump wanted $5 million for solo meetings with tech CEOs. Now it appears that anyone with the dough can buy some orange face time.

Around D.C., the new going rate is well-known: $5 million for a one-on-one dinner with Trump, but execs have “no clue where the money is eventually going,” one said. Another told me it’s “outer-borough Mafia sh*t.” My new piece is out: @NewYorker https://t.co/TLRRhcMo38
