Donald Trump Jr., along with megadonor Omeed Malik and a group of investors, are set to launch an exclusive club that requires an invitation and a hefty membership fee exceeding half a million.
The club, named "Executive Branch," is the brainchild of Malik and the president's eldest son, in collaboration with their partners at conservative fund 1789 Capital.
The club will be situated in Georgetown and aims to become the most luxurious private club Washington has ever seen, catering to business and tech moguls seeking to foster relationships with the Trump administration.

The news of the club has received some negative reactions on social media with one user saying they would "rather eat shards of glass than go there."

(37,613 posts)If it makes a go of it, then wealthy people are spending money and employing at least some people--construction, maintenance, servers, plus suppliers. Wealth redistribution. Plus, if it makes a profit, there are taxes (if only local, DC taxes).
If it doesn't make a go of it, then wealthy people are spending money and employing at least some people--construction, maintenance, servers, plus suppliers. Wealth redistribution--a one-instance event, but larger in the short-term than you'd have in the scenario that wound up with employment of servers and suppliers).
