The Trump family called off that $70,000 coffee with Ivanka after reporters started asking questions, but apparently a $500,000 hunting trip with Don Jr. and Eric is just fine?
Donors who pay at least $500,000 will have the chance to go on a multi-day excursion with Trump’s sons, according to the invitation. Other amenities include autographed memorabilia from performers Alabama and Toby Keith and — if he attends, which TMZ reports is still in flux — a photo with Donald Trump.
The report says proceeds from the event will go to conservation charities. The dress code is billed as “camouflage and cufflinks,” but “jeans, boots and hats are welcome.”
Nice to see them carrying on the family tradition of using other people’s money to look like philanthropists—and the new family tradition of selling access. Maybe the rationale is that it’s okay to sell access to Uday and Qusay, since everyone knows they don’t have as much influence on daddy as Ivanka does? This part of The Hill’s coverage is hilarious, though:
Trump’s children are noted outdoorsmen, and have influenced the president-elect’s thinking on conservation issues.
That thinking presumably being “leave just enough animals alive for us to kill personally our own selves.”
