A peek inside Don Jr's hoity-toity Georgetown Branch club...

Trump family moolah rolls in as U.S. residents are struggling.

When Donald Trump Jr. founded the Executive Branch club in April 2025, it was meant to be for the elite of the elite. Months later, the club is living up to its name as only 50 members have been able to gain access after paying a staggering fee of $500,000.

So what exactly do members get at the Executive Branch? Like other elite clubs in New York and Miami, this Washington, D.C. venue offers facilities such as boardrooms, restaurants, bars, gyms, and spas. But more importantly, it gives affluent members a place to have discussions and meetings in complete secrecy without fear of the media. Hence, while the most expensive New York club, the Arman, charges around $200,000 as an annual fee, Don Jr.’s club’s membership costs more than twice that amount.

According to former employees, a respected official from the Middle East was not allowed to enter the venue because they did not have a membership. Meanwhile, people who are lucky enough to access the club do not shy away from flaunting their wealth. The club typically charges $700 for a tequila shot and $2,000 to $3,000 per glass for Japanese whisky.

A source quoted by Daily Mail said, “One of the members… was so upset we didn’t have this specific wine – so he had his assistant fly on their private jet [on the day of the dinner] to his house in Florida and bring back a bottle of wine from his private collection… despite there being about 4,000 wines on the property.”

The British aristocracy that lost the Empire were that kind of stupid. I just don't understand why some people simply can't learn from others experiences and losses.

This club will disappear when the Trumps leave town.

If they were smart, they’d start a chain of cheaper clubs to steal from their dumb MAGA supporters. Put some animatronics of Trump doing the YMCA like Chuck E Cheese’s - they’ll eat it up.
