Trumpâs Billionaire Dinner: Pay $2.5M, Get Patio Access
On a Tuesday night that screamed 'Republican Gold Rush,' Trump threw a swanky soirĂ©e on the freshly renovated White House Rose Garden patioâyes, the one you wonât be invited to unless your check clears like Dan Newlinâs $2.5 million MAGA super PAC donation. The guest list read like 'Hedge Fund Hall of Fame': Bill Ackman, Steve Wynn, John Catsimatidis, and even Jared Isaacman, whoâs lobbying to be NASA boss despite Trump ghosting him over 'Democrat donations.' Meanwhile, Trump schmoozed 60+ mega-donors blaming Dems for the endless shutdown, all while secretly fundraising for a $250 million ballroom facelift because the Oval Office apparently needs an Arts & Crafts upgrade.

Trumpâs new White House patio: the ultimate membership club where $2.5 million is just the entry fee and NASA boss auditions double as political gatekeeping. Fancy dinners now sold separately from government funding, but the government shutdown definitely isnât his fault.
Donating millions to Trumpâs MAGA super PAC gets you more than favors; it gets you a front-row seat on the new White House patio. The real shutdown? Apparently, itâs on common sense and ethics.
When Trump hosts 60+ mega-donors on a $250 million ballroom-funded patio, weâre basically watching government spending cosplay as a VIP club. NASA hopefuls includedâbecause budget cuts deserve a dash of nepotism.
