Mingling business and White House, Trump holds $10 million fundraiser at Trump hotel

WASHINGTON — President Trump dines at his hotel, golfs at his clubs and weekends at his resorts. On Wednesday night, he will keep the tradition alive, hosting the first fundraising event of his re-election campaign at the Trump International Hotel near the White House.

The money raised will help underwrite two joint fundraising committees with the Republican National Committee — Trump Victory and the Trump Make America Great Again Committee. RNC officials say the event is expected to raise about $10 million, and 300 donors will attend.

The decision to hold a fundraiser at the Trump venue has raised alarms from ethics lawyers, who have repeatedly criticized the president's decision to retain a financial interest in his global real-estate and branding empire.

Trump's fundraiser at his Washington hotel doesn't break any laws, but gives him another chance to "exploit his opportunities to promote Trump properties," said Kathleen Clark, a law professor who specializes in government ethics at Washington University in St. Louis.

Fundraising for 2020 after 6 months in office. Stupid people gave him money if they think he will last till then, of course only the elites could afford to go. Therefore , the elites are stupid.
 
Is it illegal for people you have done business with to donate to your political campaign?

Ummm, NO.

I smell fresh 'butt-hurt' whining....

We're concentrating them in Washington so we can keep an eye on them. The problem is, some of the democrats are getting loony enough they might fail to get re-elected, and then they'd be lose in the general population. Can't have that.
 
Looks like a win win to me. What's the problem? The dems are going to throw everything including the kitchen sink into the midterms.

Yes, they will. They are desperate to establish any kind of positive momentum and will spend like mad and talk up the mid terms as the most important elections EVAH, until they lose.
 
If Democrats are out for political 'blood / hide', I suggest going after Hillary Clinton for the crimes of influence Peddling, which the FBI investigated and proved her to have engaged in.
 
Putin Grabbed Penelope's Pussy.
She has sand in her Vagina, and a raging Butt Hurt.
Just a typical morning after "DATE NIGHT" for her.
 
Low self esteem, narcissists NEED adulation from their acolytes.....So,Trump, UNABLE to govern, returns to where he found most of the cheering....that is, campaigning......and making some money off of his emoluments breaches.

We don't need to really. I think the true colors of the Pubs have been shown, minus a few who actually do seem to care about the fate of the lower class , median income and down.

Where he is center stage and can say one lie after another, oh wait the lies are for those who can not afford 35,000 a plate!

So what. It was a PRIVATE political fundraiser. Where else would he have better security?

The deal is rather a simple one.......Trump asks for $35,000 per plate for his hotel AND possible future political ambitions.....and in return, gives those "generous" folks billions in tax breaks.....Sweet deal.

What's the problem? Midterms will be here before we know it. President have ALWAYS held fundraisers.

i'll wait for him to be tried and convicted before i call him a crook. since that is your mindset, all you're going to see is "ISSUE" where there really isn't because you WANT it to be true or THE ONE that does someone in.

pretty pointless but have fun.
 
Notice - not a single word about what Obozo or Shrillary did!


Did those two hold a fund raising event at THEIR hotel FIVE months after being elected???

(btw, Clinton lost the election as you morons like to remind us.)
