Donald Trump’s staggering price for one-on-one meetings revealed
WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump has reportedly been demanding an insane amount of money from people who want to have one-to-one conversations with him.
Those who are interested are required to pay the eye-watering fees charged by MAGA Inc, a prominent American Super PAC that provides financial and strategic support to the Republican leader.
The price is $5 million, as reported by the Daily Beast, which cited a report by The New Yorker.
Insiders warn donations depend on Donald Trump’s mood with zero clarity on outcomes
As per a government-affairs executive, the “return on investment” is not definite. They said, “What if he’s in a bad mood? You have no clue where the money is eventually going.”
Another lobbying veteran called the million-dollar exchange an “outer-borough Mafia s**t.”
However, this is not an isolated instance, as back in December, individuals were required to pay a staggering one million dollars just to secure a seat at a group dinner held at Mar-a-Lago.
The report also stated that several lobbyists have profited from the pay-to-play scheme, including US poultry producer Pilgrim’s Pride.
The company was the largest donor to Trump’s inauguration fund, with a few policies like not surging salmonella testing introduced by the government favoring it.
Mark Zuckerberg, the Meta CEO, who dined at Mar-a-Lago, was even able to settle a lawsuit with Trump after consenting to give $25 million.
Elon Musk got the most benefits by spending on Donald Trump
Elon Musk benefited the most by allying with the commander-in-chief and spending almost $300 million on the election.
He became a part-time staff member of the current administration by co-chairing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). He was also given an overnight berth in the Lincoln Bedroom.
Trump takes $400 million airplane from Qatar
But that wasn’t all, as Donald Trump even accepted gifts from foreign nations, most recently agreeing to accept a $400 million airplane from Qatar.
The move was slammed by both Democrats as well as Republicans, with Dan Pfeiffer, a former White House communications director, deeming it “the most brazenly corrupt move by any President in US history, and it’s not close.”
But Trump had justified it, saying, “I mean, I could be a stupid person and say, 'No, we don't want a free, very expensive airplane.’ I thought it was a great gesture.”
“I think it's a great gesture from Qatar. I appreciate it very much. I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer,” he added, as per NPR.
