Trump's newest grift? A candlelight dinner--and tickets start at $1M [View all]
Several upcoming events have once again reintroduced the issue of Donald Trump personally profiting from political fundraising.
The Washington Post reports that Make America Great Again, Inc., the top pro-Trump super PAC, plans to host an event at Trumps Mar-a-Lago club for donors who pay $1 million per person. Those who cut a check will be served dinner by candlelight and get to meet Trump, billed as the special guest for the event.
Holding the event on Trumps property means that the PAC will surely be paying the venue hosting feesmoney that should then find its way into Trumps personal account.
House Republicans have similarly announced that they will hold their annual retreat at Trump National Doral in Miami, Florida, in late January. Trump has owned that property since 2012 and will no doubt financially benefit from hosting fees paid by the lawmakers he is set to work with after he is sworn in.
